When I look back at photos of myself from middle school, I cringe for many reasons: my mouth full of metal, my awkwardness (which I'm still hoping to grow out of) and, of course, my questionable fashion choices. And while I can forgive myself for those looks because I was simply a child, there are plenty of adults today who continue to follow fashion trends that they’ll undoubtedly regret.

Reddit users have recently been calling out the fashion and beauty trends they can’t stand, so we’ve gathered some of their thoughts below. Taste is subjective, so you may feel that the hate on some of these fads is unwarranted, but we hope you enjoy channeling your inner Anna Wintour as you scroll through this list. Keep reading to find a conversation with Maria Juvakka, Founder and Chief Editor of Chic Pursuit, and be sure to upvote the trends you wish would die out too!

    To gain more insight on this topic from a style expert, we reached out to Maria Juvakka, Founder and Chief Editor of Chic Pursuit. Maria was kind enough to answer some questions for Bored Panda and reveal which fashion trends she's not necessarily a fan of.

    "I’m all for embracing what makes you feel your best, but when it comes to clogs, including the popular Birkenstock Boston clog, I can't quite wrap my head around the craze," the expert shared. "While I can appreciate the fact that they must be extremely comfortable, to me, they look like a cross between a shoe and a piece of garden equipment."

    On the other hand, Maria also shared which trends she's loving at the moment. "I love the resurgence of UGG mini boots, especially the Tasman and Tazz slippers," she told Bored Panda. "Not only do they look great, but they are incredibly comfortable, reasonably priced, and versatile for indoor/outdoor wear."

    "I also love the move toward more sustainable clothing, which is somewhat tied to the rise of quiet luxury and recession core," Maria added. "It’s great to see consumers becoming more aware of fabrics and production processes that are gentler on the environment."

    As far as why some of these questionable items become trendy, Maria says it's due to a variety of reasons. "To start with, celebrities and Instagram influencers of course have a lot to do with the popularity of a certain product, but it’s not the whole picture," she explained.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "In my opinion, the product must also be reasonably priced (Adidas Samba, Ugg boots, etc.) or be easily dupable (e.g. trendy sunglasses, Bottega Veneta bags), and effortlessly fit into people’s lifestyles," Maria noted. "For example, many of the current it-items are extremely comfortable to wear, like ballet flats and sneakers. I do think that people who buy into these trends genuinely like them, especially if they’re opting in for the comfort!"

    But if you're not a fan of what's trending, Maria says there's no pressure to jump on the bandwagon. "Having a sense of personal style is incredibly powerful, so there’s no need to shop for current trends if they’re not the right fit," she told Bored Panda. "I would recommend doing a seasonal color analysis, preferably in person, which is designed to help you recognize what colors complement your features the best. This analysis makes it much easier to shop with confidence, and you don’t need to rely on trends to make you feel great about your appearance."

    This wasn't/isn't something that was dictated from above by the almighty fashion tyrant in the sky. This particular trend grew out of Italy, and it grew organically out of the Pitti Uomo fashion forum in Florence. In most European cities, especially the further south you go, the bicycle is the fastest means of urban transport, and this trend that so irritates all of you is very accommodating to riding your bike to work in your stylish suit. Goggle "Pitti Uomo and Bicycle" for some real life pictures.

Baggy is indeed highly elitist in male body types. Be huge and broad or look ridiculous. Wear what makes you feel good and nice, even if it is not trending

    I love cold shoulder sweaters. I’d like to wear snuggly sweaters in the winter but I always get so hot (even though I live in a cold climate). Cold shoulder cut out means I can enjoy the snuggliness with a little extra ventilation so I’m not a sweaty mess. Plus most of them are cut so you can wear a regular bra and not have it show, unlike off the shoulder styles

    “Sagging Is One Of The Stupidest And Ugliest”: 45 People Roast Fashion Trends They Hate I've never liked the trend of men's suits being cut "skinny" where they look just a shade on the too-small side. Especially the pants. It reminds me of wearing my suit to church on Sunday when I was going through my teenage growth spurt. (My parents didn't want to waste money on a new suit until I'd finished growing. Can't blame them.)

    I've always thought a leisure suit should look loose and "leisurely." I go for the more baggy look whether it's in style or not. (A formal suit, of course, should be tailored.)

    I remember mid riff shirts used to be popular for both sexes back in the ‘80s. (Thinking of Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.) I think midriffs and low rises are they are there to show off the work you’ve put into your abs. To pull it off well you couldn’t have have a tummy or love handles that doesn’t go over the pants’ waist. It’s kind of a look I’d associate with youth and certain sports, dancing, and workout activities. Nothing wrong with it but not something I’d ever call classy or professional attire.
