I am playing 1.7.10 forge. I have no mods or resource packs installed. Can someone tell me what to do?

I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like your skin uses a second layer. In 1.8, a second layer was introduced, and because of that the skin format had to change. In the place where 1.8's skin reader would have decided that was the overlay, 1.7's skin reader displays the top layer as the only one. You'll have to switch to 1.8 to use that skin.
