Answer

GAUDY

This adjective describes something showy in a tasteless or vulgar way, often referring to overly bright colors or excessive ornamentation. The word comes from the Middle English 'gaud' meaning a trick or plaything, and later came to describe cheap, showy ornaments. It is often used to describe decorations, clothing, or accessories that are considered flashy but lacking in good taste.
