How it's used
Carries a strong sense of disdain or mockery, often implying that someone looks dishevelled, unkempt, or pitiable in a way that is embarrassing. It is frequently used to describe someone who has let their appearance go or is dressed in a very unflattering, tacky manner. The term is quite blunt and can easily sound offensive if used towards someone you do not know well.

to be dressed in a tacky or unflattering way
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply being ugly. It specifically highlights a state of looking pathetic, messy, or poorly put together, rather than just having unattractive facial features.
