The worst short-lived trend that I actively participated in is hands-down the v-neck cardigan with the white turtleneck. 8th grade/1993ish.
There are 10 million things worse than carpenter pants and, and this is still unbelievably breaking news to me, cargo shorts.

Anything sold at Chess King should make this list. Z. Cavaricci's, IOU sweatshirts, etc.

I had my high school senior pictures taken wearing one of these. I was just regretting it the other day.

Didn't Mr. Z and Bronto have a funny disagreement a couple/few years ago about pulled up white tube socks vs. colored low-rise ones?

Where do you wipe your hands if you sneeze? I need my socks for that.
Edit: I am wearing the exact same shoes.
