Why is the word 'cheesy' used to describe bad fashions? It doesn't have anything to do with cheese?

Answer 1

"It does seem odd that we use "cheesy" to mean tasteless, cheap or shoddy. After all, from Velveeta to brie, cheese is one of everyone's favorite foods...... In any case, this negative sense of "cheesy" has been around since about 1863, and is thought to have arisen as an allusion to the unpleasant smell of overripe cheese."

Answer 2

cause some cheese stinks and so do the "cheesy fashions"
