“Teen Boys With Alpaca Hair”: 30 Fashion Trends That People Have Had Enough Of
Interview With ExpertAccording to social media, skinny jeans are out! It’s also extremely embarrassing to wear ankle socks or leggings that don't flare at the bottom. And whatever you do, don’t even think about leaving the house with your hair parted on one side.
Fashion is constantly changing, and as soon as you catch up with the times, there will be a new trend coming around the corner to criticize your taste. But just because a certain style is popular doesn’t mean that it’s actually that great. Redditors have recently been calling out current trends that they’ve had enough of, so we’ve gathered some of their unpopular opinions below. Enjoy channeling your inner Miranda Priestly while scrolling through this list, and be sure to upvote the trends you’d like to see disappear too.

Super long acrylic nails, they seem really impractical.
I would like to know how they wipe their butts as well as typing on a keyboard. Anything you need to use your fingers for.
I wanted to know about the wiping thing. So I finally asked. Apparently they wrap their fingers a nails in TP to navigate through the situation.

Wearing a dead salmon on your head. It feels like we're back in the 80's again.
In the 1980s, orcas started wearing salmon on their heads. It is unusual for animals to have cultural trends, so it was studied quite widely. The trend disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, but it has recently re-emerged.
Load More Replies...Specifically salmon, or are they talking about any dead fish? I know I'm not a slave to fashion but I don't remember anybody wearing fish on their head in the 80s
Washington Post: "Killer whales bring back wearing salmon hats, but it's not for fashion. Two orcas from the Pacific Northwest were spotted with dead salmon on their heads, an act first documented in the 1980s. Scientists aren't sure what it means."

"Patriot" clothing and beards. Grunt style, nine line... all these fools dressing like they're special forces, their entire identity tied to "1776".
It's embarrassing.
But at least it's a useful brand for people that should be avoided. I'm not American, but even in the country where I live, a person wearing a flag or some national(ist) symbols is 90% an uneducated, alcoholic thug.
Load More Replies...It’s not relevant but I just giggled at the thought of Australia adopting 1776 Aussie fashion 😂 😂 (I like History)
It is so stupid, I'm a former marine infantryman, and this s**t would have gotten you bullied so much if you wore that kinda stuff back then, we called people like that mo-tards, motivated r words. It's funny cuz they want to be like military but they didn't join up and just cosplay what they think a SF guy would wear, bikers do this too it's all tough guy cosplay.
Lmao, thanks for bringing back some memories of some dumbass mo-tards. Btw, there is no such thing as a former Marine, brother. SFMF!
Load More Replies...Those fake patriots who just elected the man who will destroy democracy.
Ya they are nationalists but have been mislead into the belief that patriotism is the what they are. Patriotism is caring about you homeland the people in it and it's future and taking pride in the work it takes to build a nation. Nationalists believe their nation to be infallible and all other nations inferior, which one sounds more like Trumpists?
Load More Replies...Also the 1776 love is so strange, nothing happened in 1776 except a letter getting sent to king George letting him know that the colonies were mad at him. The Constitution was ratified in 1789 and that to me seems like the real year people who are supposed patriotic should care about.
It's code for traditional, conservative MAGAt idiocy too. Hard pass forever. Be a patriot the real way: support democracy, freedom of choice, anti-dictatorship.
Omg the obsession with wearing the american flag is just gross to me.
Youtube seems to have only one type of ad these days- the Baerskin Tactical Hoodie. I wish I was kidding. What kind of pathetic, Navy Seal wannabe, Murica lovin', tiny-dicked loser spends money on something called a tactical hoodie?
Want to sell to MAGAts? Just call your product "tactical." Tactical hoodie, tactical hand warmers, tactical cap snaffler.

Load More Replies...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!"
The ridiculous false eyelashes.
I get it. I've got no problem with the ones that at least have a semblance of being natural. But the uber thick ones that look more like fur are just...pointless.
Someone I deal with at work wears them. And it's so weird, because most of the time she dresses down in sweatshirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. And doesn't pay much attention to her hair. But she's got those stupid wooly caterpillar eyelashes in. They just call attention to how un put together the rest of her is.
I know that everyone should just dress for themselves, but it's just weird.
Agreed. They are horrible. And honestly, they age you. It's not a cute look.
To me, any 'over the top' make-up looks like "mid-50s like me trying to look mid-20s". Even if the person is only mid-30s....
Load More Replies...I love these crazy long false eyelashes...I made a custom plush Snuffy snuffleupagus doll, and they were absolutely perfect for his eyelashes!!! On a human though, they're hideous
Drag culture has really helped spread these into the mainstream, so women are latching onto that like they are with drag slang and the like (yas, sis, she's serving, she ate, she's snatched, etc). But yeah, without the rest of a really done up over the top makeup job, they look wildly out of place and can be jarring.
I thought I had smashed a wooley bug against the wall, but it turned out I killed one of my granddaughters giant eye witnesses. I'm nearsighted, and the black fuzzy thing scared the bejesus out of me!
Going through the grocery line my cashier had them. She was wearing GLASSES! The eyelashes met the glass! I asked her about it. She merely answered that yes, the lashes DO hit the glass. All day long? I was flabbergasted. She was very young. Shame. This trend cannot continue for long.
I have a friend who quips “Tammy Faye! Tammy Faye!” (Bakker) whenever he sees someone with those ridiculous lashes. 🤣
Not fashion per se, but I’m a hairstylist and I’m quite over this modern mullet trend lol.
Broccoli and Edgar haircuts. And, no, I don't care that Edgars are part of indigenous identity.
Vegan leather is just plastic.
And plastic isn't vegan. Since plastic is made from petroleum, and petroleum is made from fossil fuels, and a good portion of fossil fuel comes from animals
Recently I saw a leather made from the leaves of teak trees and it was gorgeous. Truly vegan!
Was an article about this a few days ago on Bored panda about 2 guys in Mexico making vegan leather made from cacti. Was i the only one that read it?
Load More Replies...Incorrect. It is currently being made of apple and pineapple, cactus, agave and mycelium.
Which are bonded with (usually) polyurethane to form a material that doesn't fall apart in 1 day, though the use of bio-resin is on the rise. The resulting layer is then bonded with (usually) spandex/lyrca/rayon/nylon which are synthetics. The polyurethane used for bonding the pulp, and the synthetic clothing materials are all plastics that currently use a fossil feedstock to produce the necessary BDO. Again, all that is changing quickly as we develop better plant based polymers, but currently there's no step that doesn't include fossil based plastic. Edit: many of those plastics can now be made to be fully biodegradeable, but they still use fossil feedstock.
Load More Replies...vegan leather last less than a year and then you have to throw it out and buy new ones, just creating more trash. Can't we stop the leather thing? Vegan or not?
Real leather has its place. It's an incredibly durable and protective material. If you take care of it, it lasts basically forever. I'm in my 40s and still have a pair of boots I got at 16. They still look good.

Load More Replies...Article here on Bored Panda just few days ago, about two entrepreneurs from México—Adrián López Velarde and Marte Cázarez—who developed a method of transforming cacti into vegan leather that looks and feels exactly like the real thing. People forget fast.

Load More Replies...I’m a leather girl personally, but I’ve had a pleather jacket for over 15 yrs now, no flaking and a lot of abuse from rough wear. But if you treat it like leather and use the oils and products, you can at least hold off on the flakey pollution the pleather produces eventually
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."
Overconsumption.. we dont need all the products influences are pushing on us.
I'm one of those people who are happy to hang on to something that still works. And if it doesn't work, fix it. I'm walking from room to room and I don't think I see a piece of furniture / artwork or decoration including seasonal decoration that is less than 40 years old. I don't buy anything new if I can help it. I've gotten really good at fixing small appliances, mending clothing, repairing broken things...
Same here. I treat things like they have a lifespan of Plutonium
Load More Replies...There is no good quality stuff anymore, it's all c**p. Nothing lasts so you have to buy more c**p.
Not all is of bad quality, but the support is bad. It is just that long support means loses for the companies. I had a navigation receiver in my car from Kenwood. It had Garmin navigation incorporated. After 3 years it was obsolete, because you could not get new maps. Kenwood said to contact Garmin. Garmin said to contact Kenwood. Forwarding this message to Kenwood was answered with that they would not prevent Garmin from innovations by old navigation units. Yet Garmin gives lifetime maps for their own products. I would even have paid for the maps. Now I use Google Maps on my phone. It is now 2 years old and will last at least 2 more years.
Load More Replies...It's not just influencers. I'm on zero platforms with influencers (instagram, tiktok, etc) and I still buy s**t. Most everyone does. It's easy to stick the blame on influencers because they're a great scapegoat but fast fashion, cheaply made items, non-reusable packaging and so on are everywhere. Let's not pretend this is a solely Gen Z (or whatever generation is the one everyone's decided to c**p all over this week) issue.

But how will I like something unless someone tells me what I should like?
Excessive Botox in young people.
I’m so tired of everyone having a frozen face. It’s not pretty. It’s just weird.
It is, I’m each to their own but this one is going too far, I’m stunned anytime I go through drive through etc and see a Very young adult with fillers and lashes and sausage lips and the super long nails, in a maccas drive through, no where special.
In 10 years they’ll have stretched lips and nerve damage
Load More Replies...Yay, bring back the flat a*s so I can be fashionable again.
Load More Replies...I saw Gladiator II a few weeks ago and the main actress was so botoxed the upper half of her face didn't move when she was supposed to be emoting anger or sadness, it was super distracting. Like hey, to each their own, if she likes how she looks more power to her, but it was very distracting for her to have a stone face while she was supposed to be crying/yeling/etc.
Suits/formal wear that is tight and short,
I just don't get it???? Maybe its generational (IM 58)
But seeing men wearing pants that are tight and 3inches too short so it shows your socks? With a jacket that is short in the sleeves and tight!,
What happened to well fitted?, not that i want to go back to oversized double breasted suits with cuffs 😁.
"Tight and short" makes me think the guy outgrew his suit since the last time he wore it, and didn't have time to buy a new one.
When I catch a glimpse of TV shows of different eras, I love to pay attention to the suit styles. Not just the materials & colors, but more the cut & styling (eg double breasted or wide lapels). It's a fascinating look back on history. Tie stiles are also interesting - short, extra long, skinny, fat, big knot, tiny knot, etc. There was a brief time in the late 90s / early 200s where massively baggy suits were the rage. Check out the 2003 NBA draft as an example; they looked ridiculous.
😬 I kind of like the style. Not too too tight and I wouldn’t like it if everyone wore it, but it’s fun!
And what is the deal with men wearing brown shoes with a blue suit? Do they not sell blue dress shoes for men?
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)."
Children (I’ve mostly seen around ages 9-13) going to Sephora for anti-aging serums and makeup. You all can hardly go to the park by yourselves yet you’re plastered in expensive creams and makeup like you’re 20+ .-.
I've dappled in skincare, but I'm just too lazy (F54). Good Molecules hydrating bar cleanser, and I still use Olay Original Beauty Fluid in higher humidity. The only thing expensive that I use is a ceramidin cream for low humidity, because my skin is so dry. As these kids age, I think a lot of them are going to find out it's nothing but a chore.
Load More Replies...My neighbor's 11-yer-old daughter got bullied in school for having a roundish baby face and a little cupid's bow mouth. She's adorable, but girls her own age were telling her that she needed to get injections in her cheeks and lips so she would look "normal". It's sad and ridiculous that girls so young are being influenced that way.
One of the reasons Australia is banning social media *not all, only certain named ones* is the thinspiration etc exposed to kids
Load More Replies...The American Academy of Pediatrics and the AMA have both spoken out against this trend as being incredibly harmful to this particular age group. I'm really hoping it causes their parents to step in.
not only that. Skincare brands are attracting kids with anti-aging products cause they know once they get older they'll need more skincare products for their damaged skin barrier
THIS. I've never started using facial make-up, skin creams, etc.. Just sun cream when necessary and a bit of shea butter in case of dry patches. Am now 58 and most ppl think I'm years younger.

Fast fashion. Congratulations on destroying the planet and exploiting workers.
I'm looking in my closet, I'm not convinced there's a single piece in here that was purchased new from the store in the last 25 years. Everything else is vintage / thrift
Yes, this. And it's wild watching lots of you folks who claim to care about the planet at climate conferences wearing lots and lots of fast fashion. The "youts" are buying it to make their Tiktok and Instagram posts. It is beyond wasteful
“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” - Oscar Wilde
This reason alone is why 80% of my and my kid's wardrobe comes from thrift stores.
A few months ago I finally threw out a dress that I bought in h & m 20 years ago. Sure, it was not pretty anymore and the fabric had started to get holes here and there. But I still used it for the days at home or the days working hard in the garden. I threw it out because it was falling apart, really. I am like this with most clothes. And I only buy new stuff when I have tossed something old and I don't have something to replace it, function-wise. So I will buy a pair of pants if an old pair is no longer working. If I no longer have any socks without holes in the heels, I'll buy some new ones. On a rare occasion I go out to shop for clothes and I usually set myself a budget of about 500 Danish kroner. And then I just find one shirt. On sale. So I only spend 40kr. I am shīt at shopping for clothes. And shoes. And bags. Lol.
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."
Those massive, chunky sneakers that look like they’re from a sci-fi movie. Why do my shoes need to look like they can survive on Mars?
I’ve seen them I the stores , but I’ve never seen any one wear them. They are UGLY
The shoes in the picture look particularly ill-suited for Mars. Or existence.
The kids on my commute wear these ugly a*s pillow slippers. They look comfy AF but are super ugly. And they all wear the exact same model/brand. I get trends are trends for a reason but JFC, at least be somewhat original.
Fake freckles. Be done with it.
Actually freckled people: "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power!"
The amount of times I was bullied as a child for having actual freckles, this is a trend I don't understand one bit. Who would want freckles?
Real freckles are cute. Fake ones look stupid.
Load More Replies...i do fake freckles, but not like this picture. i just think it looks good on me lol
Sagging pants on teen boys (on anyone, really). It started off stupid and has just become stupider. I'm a high school teacher. I've started refering to what the boys wear as "leggings". They complain. I point out that what they are wearing only covers their legs. Pull your pants up over your a*s!
I've seen young men wearing them and holding them up like a woman wearing a ball gown.
Load More Replies...it’s so funny that the trend started from imitating prisoners whose pants are always falling down because they’re not allowed to have belts. So, yeah, emulate a prisoner. That’s a look my teenage daughter is going for when she’s looking for a partner in life!
It's also a sign to other inmates you are open to being intimate
Load More Replies...This "look" started over a generation ago. The skater boys long ago stopped wearing giant Jencos. Why can't this even more stupid fad disappear as well?
Was there anything more fun or satisfying watching some punk get caught on Cops because his pants fell down? I say, keep the trend. The criminals don't get away and at the same time, they provide us with so much amusement. Win/win.
It's the 90s sagging trend coming back, except they forgot to include the long t shirts and sweaters that followed along with that trend in the 90s that actually kept 90s boys mostly covered up.
I don't think sagging pants ever left. I keep hoping "saggys" will disappear, but I suppose that's a dying hope.
Load More Replies...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."
Cropped clothes. I can’t stand it, all stores make most tops cropped!
Cropped clothes are fine if you're a 5ft5 female as that's the size they're usually designed for in most clothing shops. Try a cropped top on when you're 6ft tall and it's just ridiculous. Also, What's the point of a cropped jumper? If it's cold enough to need the jumper, then you need one that covers your midriff so it can actually do what it's designed for and keep you warm.
I hear ya, I'm not a fan of crop tops at all. For one, I don't have the kind of confidence some of these bigger, younger ladies have, to rock a crop top. I'm a little on the thicker side, with a little too much of a pooch to be showing off my midriff. I could wear the really high rise pants to tuck it in better but I still won't wear them. I used to be way thinner and in really great shape, I was in the military so I had to keep up with standards. Now that I'm disabled and the biggest I've ever been, I usually rock sweatpants and comfy shirts. Haha
Load More Replies...Don't you just love it when a woman wears a crop top with their fat belly hanging out from under, showing their stretch marks? I guess, to each their own, but no way would I do that. I grew up in a time when you tried to hide your fat. Even pregnant women wore huge smocks, not tight tops that show off your belly. That one still doesn't sit well with me.
There is almost nothing an older woman, who is not ready to give up on her appearance and buy stretch polyester clothes from Parade magazine, can wear and not look ridiculous. And by older I mean old enough to rent a car.
I wear some cropped tops when wearing certain skirts, because I just look like a straight up and down lump if the top covers the top of the skirt.
as i person who lives in a hot country my wardrobe is basically crop tops and oversized shirts (cause they are loose). Had to go to a funeral and freaked out cause i didnt have anything to wear lol
Well I personally find crop tops very much aesthetically pleasing, even much more than big cleavages. But I agree that there should be variety as I also know the hell of not being able to buy anything that fits you and feels comfortable at the same time.
Trousers that show too much ankle. I cannot stand it. Looks like your mum shrunk your clothes in the wash.
Back when I was young....50+ years ago, we were teased. Waiting for a flood?

Highwaters. Not everyone can make them look stylish, so please stop trying.
Yep, high-water pants is what they were called in my area.
Load More Replies...I think here they might be called capri pants but I think other people call them flood pants. I've always thought that they were most ridiculous length of pant. Never worn them, but White flood pants seem to be the uniform of 70 or 80 year old women on day trip tours. The bus door opens, 30 senior ladies all wearing the same thing get off the bus and I think, "nope it's not just teenagers who all want to dress the same...."
Haha I like them, especially the cigarette pants with flats. Although I don't think that is fashionable right now, I do feel good wearing it
OK, so today I went to the laundromat and wore my last pair of clean pants there. My friend got them for me when I had my ankle in a cast. They're so wide you could fit three owls in them, but they're also, shall we say, short. Do I need to say I don't wear these pants very often?
Adolf Loos quote: garment not reaching ankles is sign of wearer doing manual labour.
Broccoli hair.
Nah. This style is far better than some of the insane styles from the latter half of the 20th century.
Idk what's worse: the broccoli hair, or that single strip of longer hair at the top of one's head that was trendy before the broccoli.
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."
“Micro shorts” babe that’s panties made of a slightly thicker material.
The guessing game every summer: are those supposed to be shorts, or did she deada$$ forgot to put her pants on?
That slice of bottom can be sexy as hell though. Seriously, sexier then nude.
Sad beige everything.
I actually saw a beige Christmas tree the other day. The actual tree was light beige! It had ornaments in beige, cream, muted gold, and sage green with a sort of antiqued/tarnished brass garland. Tis the season to be completely miserable, I guess.
If the world becomes a desert, they'll be wearing camo and that could be handy during the water wars
I really dislike any specific color theme for home decoration because it doesn't give the home an honest vibe. It just feels...idk, curated, I guess, instead of representative of the person/people who live there.
Recently I was shopping for nice cardigan. Visited maybe 5 different brands and saw 7 grey, 5 blue, 10 black. What happened to colours?
I'll take the psychedelic colors of the 60s and 70s, over beige anything.
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."
Pencil thin eyebrows seem to be coming back. I’ve warned my kids that if they do that, they’ll be lucky if their eyebrows grow back at all.
I told my mother-in-law that she was drawing her eyebrows on too high. She looked surprised.
Depends on your genes, I’m from that era, I’m easterner European mix (Jew / Gypsy) and at 37 they are still growing back. So if you’re 12 and already sprouting a babushka style moustache and goatee, you should be ok for the trend 😂 (no I don’t have POCS, I’m just super hairy).
I have pencil thin eyebrows and it has been this way for most of my adult life, I don't pluck or shave my eyebrows. My eyebrows came out like that when some hair grew back after chemo and radiation therapy and yes I have had some nasty comments about it looking silly, but guess what? I am alive so I just laugh
What bugs me about people messing with their eyebrows isn't a style thing at all. It makes it harder to read people's facial expressions and emotions when they alter the placement and shape of their eyebrows. Maybe women would have an easier time getting the reactions they want from men if they let men read their actual emotions instead of making us guess them. Also not a fan of botox for the same reason.
I didn't think I would find something I agree with on this list, because I'm genuinely not interested in telling people how they should look, even if I find it ridiculous, but this... THIS has some merit. I'm a victim of early 00s thin eyebrows trend and I wish someone warned me! They only partially grew back 😥
Pajamas. Everywhere I look, target, Nordstrom, Starbucks, sports games.
People are wearing PAJAMAS and SLIPPERS.
I remember someone here on BP commenting that she thought that whatever you are wearing when you die will be your ghost outfit. I think about that a lot when I'm getting ready to leave the house. My luck, I'll die in the shower.
My luck would be slipping on dog c**p and busting my head. Having to smell that for my afterlife. Although it will be fun watching the people I haunt trying to figure out where the smell is coming from!! 🤭
Load More Replies...Yeah I was just reading this comment and thinking, this has been a thing for at least 25 years. I've got photos taken around campus in 1999 at Brock University and there are people wearing pajama bottoms there, although, not slippers, they'll soak up too much water when it's slushy and snowy
Could be worse. I still remember in the 70s some chick came in wearing nothing but a bra and underwear.
Why wouldn't they? As long as they don't sleep in their street pyjamas. That'd be nasty
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."
That nose ring in the middle. Just doesn't look good to me. You do you. But just think it doesn't look good very often.
I absolutely love the septum ring! And no, I'm not being a sarcastic smarta.s.s. I really do like it!
I love my septum piercing. I've had major insecurities about my nose my entire life but gained quite a bit of confidence after I got the septum piercing.

Getting plastic surgery to look younger even when you're in your 20s. I know a girl in her 20s who looks like a 40-year-old angry housewife because she's had her cheeks and lips done to the point where she barely looks human anymore. Her hair goes all the way down to her butt and she dyes it constantly, and her pants are so tight that you can see the crack of her vagina and a*s.
There's no f*cking way that I would spend $10,000 just to look like a statue who smokes meth.
These ones always make me sad, cos they are generally very genetically *blessed to begin with and just ruin their amazingly natural look.
My mom has never had any aesthetic surgery, doesn't use any nonsense cosmetcis (just some basic creams and stuff) and she looks like she's in her late 40s even though she's pushing 60. Be like my mom.
(clap clap) just out of curiosity, does she have a specific diet, or can i be like her whilst eating spaghetti with okra.

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."
I'm a high school teacher and a surprising number of the boys dress like it's 2000 and they've got Limp Bizkit's *Nookie* on repeat.
There's one kid that looks like he's from 1977. Puka shells, feathered hair, big, open collars. I like that kid.
Well, considering how massive was Linkin Park's comeback, it looks like we have to accept the 2000s nu-metal lifestyle back into our lives 😁
It used to be that teen rebellion was all about being as different from your parents as possible. Now it sometimes seems like the rebellion is about being a parody of what your parents were when they were your age. I do also like those puka shell kids.
I dress in 80s metalhead kind of stuff, jeans and a denim jacket with a metallica back patch, iron maiden and motorhead pins, and the quintessential long hair
My wife dresses like a skater boi. Jeans, flannel, vans and a hat. Looks like a 15 yo. She's over 40!! Gets asked about mom (me) all the time. I use a walker and grey hair. 😂😂😂😂😂
I have noticed that school kids now look as stupid as we looked back in the 90s….
thanks god. School kids need to look stupid, its good for then. Those kids that dress like they're 20+ pilates obsessed office girls suck
For me, my moment, was when slides and socks came back with mullets and rat tails and a teen informed me about how it’s ‘eshay’.
The difference is they really are stupider (can't read, can't write, can't do math...).
Saw a kid in an oversized shirt and JNCO-looking jeans with a bowl cut the other day and had a physical cringe reaction. I now know how my mother felt with everyone was wearing flare jeans/bell bottoms and peasant tops with flat ironed hair back in the 90s
unfortunately i am a big oversized shirt and JNCO jeans wearer

"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."
Political attire as someone's entire main wardrobe, no matter the side of the spectrum. You got more personality than that!
"Both side of the spectrum"? We all know this is 95% about one side of the spectrum.
Ya I don't see any democratic mech stores on the side of the highway lol but the trump ones are everywhere.
Load More Replies...Your comment, "You got more personality than that!" is wrong. Generally, in my experience, those people who only wear political garb have NO PERSONALITY other than their political ideology.
Yup. Or looking like the American flag threw up on you with LET'S GO BRANDON in huge letters on everything. I know you're trying to take a snipe at liberals with your comment but both sides look like complete jackasses when they let it become their entire personalities.
Load More Replies...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."

Eyebrows that are brushed upwards. That's the only way I can think to describe it. I can't see anything else when looking at someone who has that style brows. I just don't know why people like it.
As I age, my eyebrows get too long, and my hairline recedes, I do an eyebrow combover
My 70 year old Dad does this. It makes him look like a super villain.
The very inside of the brow should be in an upward direction, but the rest should lay away and brushed towards the temple. (I did beauty therapy)
Took my cousin to prom and saw at least 30 dudes wearing a suit with shorts.
Fun fact: This was what many Australian newsreaders did in the early days of TV: All the camera had to see was the top half of a suit, but it was so hot under the studio lights...
This look is favored by the young, rich elite of Pasadena/San Marino, as seen at Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia, CA.
The microtrends and bajillion different "aesthetics". Everybody looks the same and nobody has personal style anymore.
my personal aesthetic is "my mom forgot this piece of clothing existed so i just stole from her". Works with makeup too
I do. My personal style is "my friend was clearing out their closet and I never turn down free clothes."
Tiny sunglasses. Can we get some UV protection here? I mean, they’re cute and all, but my eyeballs need more coverage!
You do need to protect them from sun entering from the sides. A bit larger is better.
Load More Replies...Don't you know? Only the retina needs to be protected from the sun. Having a sunburnt iris is the latest fashion. 👁️
Yeezy slides.

Weird 80s moustaches, I've seen good looking guys made to look like Ned Flanders. Ages them instantly, which I guess is the plan, but ages them past 20s to married with kids approaching teenage years.
Not only "married with kids", but quite often also "divorced with three female bodies in my basement".
I never understood the mustache trend from any era (except MAYBE Edwardian with the really awesome ones like handlebar!). Most men can't pull it off. (But on the other hand, if you CAN pull it off, you REALLY pull it off! Looking at you, Sam Elliott!)
Teen boys with alpaca hair.
Are "alpaca hair" and "broccoli hair" the same thing? Just making sure
My son's hair is curly and just grows like this. Is he just supposed to shave his head?
My son's hair is naturally curly too and same it just grows like this.

Personally - fake eyelashes and lip filler, just watched a mukbang and it’s all I could focus on!
You're calling out lip filler and eyelashes but you watch people gorging themselves while filming it????
Mom jeans. Make them go away.
Yes and no, not for me, they were mums jeans when I was a kid, but I like the way the younger kids style it and wear
LMAO I'm guessing this person is fairly young since what is defined as "mom jeans" changes with every generation. In 20 years, the OP's preferred style of jeans will be the "mom jeans"!
mom jeans and baggy jeans are comfy and better for your body than skinny jeans
In the UK it’s the ‘road man’ style black or grey tracksuits with a cross body bag. It’s been like that for about 5 years and it’s boring AF.
Why do you care so much about what someone wears? Should they call you up everyday and ask?
Absolutely! My taste is impeccable. If you don't like comments on how people dress, why are you reading a list about fashion trends? Durr.

This is kinda specific but leather alternatives by high end fashion designers. I thrifted a pair of Stella McCartney Mary Janes because I liked the design and had heard good things but the strap snapped immediately. I also saw a bonded leather jacket going for nearly 1k with some BS about it being eco friendly cause it's recycled leather. Leather is supposed to be nearly indestructible and cheaper 'sustainable' options are supposed to be, well, cheaper.
I don't hate all faux leathers but they should far less expensive and used for light wear items. You're gonna obliterate faux leather shoes or jackets in a few years don't spend insane amounts of money on these items. Meanwhile I have actual leather items that are over a decade old and all still in great condition. I know we wanna all save the earth but I'm more for the trickle down solution, buy those super expensive, high quality pieces second hand.
Redneck mullets.
Rednecks period. I used to have to work with a lot of rednecks, and I happily, proudly hate them all. It helps to remember they're all pretty much 12 yr old boys inside.
I would expect a 12 year old boy to have better manners!
Load More Replies...Wow. Have you known any? Some aren't from the pretty tree but if you want loyalty, hard working and capable folks, look for a redneck. You seem quite judgemental.

Whatever the youth is doing with their socks, it looks ridiculous.
I agree. If I had a nickel for every young lady I saw with shrubbery sticking out of her socks, I would throw up.
I have never seen this. Either it's not in my area of the world or I don't make a habit of looking at people's ankles...which is probably more likely.
Load More Replies...Bubble skirts.
I wore culottes many times when I was in school, but they looked very much like a regular skirt. Culottes-6...da11bf.jpg
Pants unbuttoned and unzipped exposing undies or bikini because the fabric is folded over...reality TV shows in tropical weather wear pants like this and it's so dumb looking.
Hooded sweatshirts with no torso coverage. So the hoodie is covering your arms, but your bra and cleavage are showing? What is that, why would you pay the money for half a hoodie?
I’m a wearer of the quarter hoody and I stand by them 😂 sometimes on those days where it’s hot if you dress covered but too cold if you rug up, and then you put one arm into a hoody and it feels right. That’s how wearing those feel.
Mustaches . The first year I thought was them being ironic, but now I have an entire generation of young men who look like gay men from the '70s.
He is literally the only man that I think it looks good on.

I’m a middle school teacher. The 2006-2008 fashion era is “in” with my students.
I f*****g hate it. I’m not vintage, I’m 29.
I really like the color palette that was used in the '70s (the warm browns, orange yellows and off-white), and I also like bell bottoms on tall people. I also like wide collars. I hate when people call 2004 vintage but, it's 20 years ago. Etsy calls it vintage.
Crocs
I thought they were hideous when they first came out almost twenty years ago, and they’ve never gone away.
I am well aware of how comfortable they are. I have several pairs made by Adidas. It’s just that those are much nicer looking.
I don't mind Crocs for around the garden, because they are easy to slip in and out of, and wash. However, they are absolutely deadly on a flat smooth surface that is wet. Maybe there's newer styles of Crocs these days that are designed for wet surfaces that have some kind of special tread or something but mine don't, and I've inadvertently done the split several times
Im a big sneaker head in my 40's and I can't for the life of me understand how the younger generation loves shoes like asics and balenciaga that look like the shoes PayLess used to sell when I was a kid. Just crazy a*s colors and horrible designs. We would get roasted back in the day for wearing stuff like that. It's almost as if the more non-matching, crazy mis-match stuff you wear now, the "cooler" you are.
Barrel jeans and bubble hems. No thanks.
The barrel jeans have got to go. They’re the ugliest effing things I’ve ever seen. And ppl keep lying to these women about how they’re flattering and I’m like no! You look bowlegged! .
Middle parts. You need an almost symmetrical face to be able to pull it off, which is pretty rare.
Side parts all the way.
When they said Middle Parts I thought they meant lungs, stomach, etc.
I didn’t realise this, Im gonna be people watching in a weird way this week. I wear a middle part always, if I do a side part I get that Selma Hayek look, which is only good for going out and looking glam
The oversized blazer look—I get it, but it feels like I’m swimming in fabric.
This was like the go to look for guy in jeans around 2005 too 😂 I liked it at the time
Everything is ‘over-sized’ or ‘loose fit’.
Give me back my slim fit clothing so I don’t look like someone’s who’s mum just told them ‘oh you’ll grow into it’.
While it is not a look I find esthetic, my teenage self would have loved the option of being hip without being overly sexualized. I think it is nice to have clothes that are comfortable without overly focusing on the size and shape of your body.
What! Best fashion ever. I cant find long tees anymore, or they shrink up and out.
Better than Kushner tight pants and suits. And much better than overly sexualized jeans
Oh, this OP just made me feel old because that was my style in the 90s and I'm still the most comfortable in over-sized and loose-fit! Especially tees and sweaters. Although, I honestly prefer leggings for my pants over jeans and slacks.
I want snug jeans, skinny jeans. I've got a 28 inch waist and 33 inch inseame. I'll leave the baggie ones for those who don't have the figure to wear them.
I'm sure it's nice if you have the 'slim' for it to 'fit'. I don't.
slim fit clothing: when you need to buy new clothes every year and make damage to your body shape forever
Call me a crotchety millennial but I really don't like "Gen Z fashion".
It's late 90s-Y2K silhouettes, but with none of the chaos or fun. .
its cause growing up Y2K was the teenage years that we saw on tv, but we are not alowed to chaos and fun cause our millennial parents decided life should be sad beige
I just walked past ‘ally’ today and saw the Eileen from Seinfeld vests on mannequins, I had to make my bf stop and stare at its glory and hated myself for loving it and wanting the 1995 look
Low rise jeans.
Maybe it's just my body type but I find low and mid rise jeans much more comfortable than high rise jeans. High rise are not flattering at all and I find them uncomfortable when I'm sitting down (the waistband is too tight around your stomach when you're sat down).
Thank you! High waisted jeans are not comfortable at all. And they are not flattering either if you are over a size 6. But right now that's all you can buy. Because that's the "style". Low rise are starting to come back though. Thankfully.

What gets me: we have millennia of clothing styles to choose from, and these days it's not impossible to get fabrics at least similar to, idk, 1730 court dresses from France, or 1890 fashion from Japan. Instead we're looking incredibly uniform. The lack of colour variation alone is depressing. I'm glad for every young person dressing like an explosion in the fashion department of our local museum, and for every man, young or old, wearing a kilt. At least something different!
I've been known to wear a Victorian-style ball gown just randomly in my everyday life, so it's not impossible!
Load More Replies...I'd rather cringe than boring! Everyone where I live looks like they just rolled out of bed: men and women. If I wear a dress and brush my hair then I'm the best dressed person around. I wish people still put some effort in!
This is a positive one. It's not exactly a recent trend but there has never been a fashion trend I've seen in my entire life that is as pants-expandingly sexy as brightly coloured hair. A woman with sapphire blue hair came into my store the other day and I was properly three-legged.
High school teacher here, most of my students wear the boring teenage "uniform" (90s sneakers, baggy jeans + hoodie in dull colors), but I love when I see young ppl (mostly in their twenties and in bigger cities) expressing their personality through their colorful and weird attire, I think it's just great that nowadays being original is being trendy - growing up in the 90s you would get sidelooks if you did that, everything was much more normalized... But now I love that "You do you Boo" mentality :)
Never been into clothes. Give me a well fitted pair of jeans, a long sleeve dress shirt, a well fitted blazer, and a pair of sneakers, and I'm pretty good to go anywhere.
I pretty much just wear leggings and t-shirts or sweatshirts. Sometimes I’ll switch it up with cargo pants or flannels. Comfy and cozy.
Funny how so may millennials have turned into their great, great grands and are in love with the crotch cutting tight pants.
