6 Fashion Items That Are Extremely Uncomfortable in Real Life

Many people say pain is beauty — and while it may be true, some really cool fashion items that have become popular definitely take this saying to the next level. Various trends in fashion history have taken many directions, some better than others. Taking a look back at some of the strangest things we all did in the name of fashion and beauty might be more surprising than you remember. Here are 6 fashion items that are extremely uncomfortable in real life.

Corsets

Corsets have been making women extremely uncomfortable for centuries now. While they may achieve the slim waist look that is so coveted by many women, these contraptions are so grueling that one can barely breathe while wearing one.

Chokers

These eclectic necklaces have gone in and out of style in the last couple of decades — but they have always been super restraining. Chokers are named for their tight nature and are so restrictive that they can actually affect the blood flow in your neck. Even though these necklaces are strangely bondage like and discomforting, they just keep resurging in fashion trends again and again.
