To find out how this conversation started in the first place, we got in touch with the Reddit user who created this thread, Idealistic-salmon. She was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share what inspired her post.

"To be frank, I was watching a video on TikTok, and a woman appeared on my screen with big fake lips and false eyelashes. And I wondered to myself how quickly this look would go out of fashion," she said. "Then I began wondering about fast fashion trends and thought I’d ask a broader audience!"

We also asked the author if there were any trends that she would like to see go out of style. "Honestly, I have multiple trends that I can’t stand at the moment, and from my comments, it seems that there are many who feel the same," she shared. "Cropped EVERYTHING, leopard print, Crocs, fake eyelashes, long dresses and skirts with high slits, random cutouts in clothing... I could go on."

So why have these trends become so popular? "Fashion is subjective and this I understand, but it’s the fast fashion that pushes these garments onto buyers, which in turn makes them seem more popular, and the cycle continues," the OP says.

"I think the majority listed above will definitely go out of style, as the trends favor the generation most dominant on social media. Right now it’s run by Gen Z who are pushing for aesthetics such as 'Y2K', 'clean girl', 'old money', which will quickly push out the trends that don’t coincide. Functionality will always reign superior, therefore the one thing listed [above] that has the potential to stay are Crocs (funnily enough)."

We also asked the author what she thought of the replies to her post. "I was honestly shocked that the post gained so much traction, but the replies made me laugh and also consider what I had in my own wardrobe," Idealistic-salmon said. "It sparked a lot of debate, especially regarding jeans - skinny, baggy, low rise, high rise - but I think the main takeaway is that fashion is so subjective, and what might be someone’s favorite trend might be someone’s most hated."

Finally, the author shared some words of wisdom about fashion. "It’s important for people to realize that people can dislike things that you like. It’s not up to you to convince them that what you like is cool," she said.

"Own your style, dress how you want, wear the low or high rise or skinny or baggy jeans - dress however YOU feel best! Some TikTok of some girl saying baggy jeans are 'out' shouldn’t cause you to throw out your baggy jeans even though you love them," Idealistic-salmon continued. "Trends and the celebrities that endorse them have power because YOU give it to them. Do what you want. You have one life."

We were also lucky enough to get in touch with Certified Image Consultant and Color Specialist, Heather Riggs. Heather is the founder and CEO of Her Style, so we were curious to hear her thoughts on trends that she's not a fan of.

"Everything oversized! Boxy and baggy pieces have the ability to work really well, but not for all women," she told Bored Panda. "I've seen so many people struggling to shop in recent years, because it's hard to find pants that aren't wide-leg or super high-rise and tops that aren't enormous or cropped. It can be tricky to pull off silhouettes like these without getting swallowed up by your clothes."

We also asked the style expert why she thinks these trends become so popular. "It's funny to see people's love/hate reactions to trends like barrel jeans. Typically, trends begin on the runway and then trickle down to the masses. What we need to keep in mind is that designers often create exaggerated shapes and silhouettes to make a statement or create a WOW factor during Fashion Week," Heather explained.

"And of course, the biggest goal for any brand is to encourage consumers to buy more. So it becomes necessary to introduce new ideas that will become adopted by the trendsetters (often those with a more dramatic or creative personal style) and then copied by others who really want to keep their wardrobes feeling current."

On the other hand, there are some trends that Heather is excited to see come back into style. "I'm excited to see the tides turning back to include more streamlined and fitted silhouettes again - like the recent return of skinny jeans! Versatility is key, and I'm glad the idea of what's 'cool' is slowly expanding," she shared. "I love seeing people embrace what looks best on them, regardless of trends and fads."

The expert also provided some advice for anyone who wants to find what they look and feel best in. "First, remember that fashion is cyclical. What's 'out' today might be back 'in' tomorrow," Heather says. "So if your personal preferences go against the grain of what everyone else is wearing, remember it's only temporary. Hold onto the pieces you love, wear them anyway, and give them time to inevitably start trending again."

"Before you start shopping each season, take a pulse on what's currently working for you and where the gaps are in your wardrobe," Heather continued. "Once you're clear on which silhouettes flatter your body, what styles work for your real life needs, and which colors bring out your best, it becomes a million times easier to build a wardrobe you love. I highly recommend shopping with a prioritized list as a way to avoid impulse buying and to ensure you're scooping up what you actually need to get dressed quickly and confidently each day."

Finally, the style expert says, "Your preferred styles might not be prevalent this season but that doesn't mean they can't be found. Instead of aimlessly browsing online, search specifically on Google, Pinterest, or your preferred retailers for the exact items you want. You can also explore secondhand shops locally or online, which can be a goldmine of treasures from seasons past."
