1. Backless Tee Gos Ryan Gosling was snapped yesterday strolling in L.A. in a Thrasher T-shirt with a giant, heart-shaped hole eaten into the back. For Gosling fans who can't get enough of his creamy skin and rippling dorsal muscles, it was a rare treat. For everyone else, it was kind of gross. It got us thinking about some of the Lars and the Real Girl star's other bold fashion statements, leading to this essential compilation we like to call Five Bad Looks For Ryan Gosling. Four more after the jump!

2. Tuxedo Tee Gos His choice of formal wear for Half Nelson's Tribeca premiere quickly made the blog rounds, not so much because tuxedo T-shirts sit somewhere between keyboard ties and rainbow suspenders on the wearable-gag evolutionary ladder, but rather because he couldn't even be bothered to spring for the "heavily rhinestoned" design.

3. Three-Piece Plaid Suit Gos There's got to be a better way to camouflage a few extra pounds than by actually wearing Anthony Hopkins' old suit from 1977, handed down to you in a generational rite of passage on the set of Fracture.

4. Darfur Tee Gos GAP's short-lived TruCauses™ campaign may have made you feel like you were really giving back when you wore one of their shirts or baseball caps bearing the words "CANCER," "PLANET," "DARFUR," or "FOOD ALLERGIES," but in retrospect the gesture just winds up coming up short.

5. Bear Gos On second thought, this look works. See—plaid can be thinning if used in moderation! [Illustration: Bluhm for Naked Eye Magazine]
