Q:
I can’t figure out why this pretty girl wore such a pair of tacky/rustic/cheesy trousers which hugely worsened her appearance and showed her bad taste. (I’m not judging people and just making sentences. ) Does this sound natural?
A:
“Tacky” is the best choice here. “Ugly” is also good.
“Rustic” usually doesn’t refer to clothing. It evokes a sense of rural roughness.
“Cheesy” might refer to clothing, but in this sentence it sounds unnatural I think.
“Trousers” sounds like British English. In Canada/USA we would probably say “pants”.
To make it sound natural, I would say:
I can’t figure out why such a pretty girl would wear those tacky pants. They looked awful on her and shows she’s got no taste.
