Question about English (US)
What are some English slangs/expressions to say that someone's outfit is 'uncool' meaning that a person has a bad taste for clothing or lack of style?
I found the word 'tacky' in the dictionary. Is this actually used? Are there other terms I could use instead?

it depends how the outfit is bad. here are some examples:
out of date - old style no longer warn
trashy - I'll fitting for example too short or tight.
tacky, cheesey, or corny - uncool or overdoing it
nerdy - something a nerd or geek would wear
dull - boring or plain
I hope this helps.

my mom used to call me fruity bc i had no style and would often mix match, tho that could be taken offensively and as a slur to some people so maybe don't use that
i'd say out of style tbh. tacky could work tho i feel that's when your clothes cause second hand embarrassment because it's "cheap" or you look like a $5 stripper
maybe someone else has a better answer lol

You could say that they have a "lame" outfit.
