35 Random Fashion Trends People Can't Understand The Hype About

Keeping up with the trends has become increasingly tiresome. Their short lifespans or impractical design elements just don’t seem to make an investment worthwhile. But why follow the masses, when what’s popular serves annoyance more than anything else? Our team has done the work to find the most abhorrent trends you may want to avoid following according to various TikTokers and Redditors online.

#1

Image source: 0live_juic3, Dwayne joe Super long and overly decorated nails, obnoxious fake lashes/lash extensions, contouring, anything Gucci and Balenciaga (sp?) or just “high fashion”. I feel like the idea of trends is just used to make women feel bad about themselves and force consumerism even more because if you’re not buying all the latest and greatest & keeping up with the trends, you’re made to feel like a loser.

#3

Image source: anon, M. Rennim Fast fashion. Congratulations on destroying the planet and exploiting workers.

#4

Image source: BobBobBobBobBobDave, Ivana Cajina I am old so I am not really supposed to get it, but people wearing flip flops and socks and going about their day like they are normal shoes. Especially in the winter. mr-dirtybassist: Yeah. We use to laugh at people in socks and sandals... Now it's trendy??

#5

Image source: Alladin_Payne, Thais Varela I can't believe young people are bringing back mullets. It's the worst haircut ever.

#6

Image source: anon, Ivan Samkov Fake f*****g pockets? To hell with them I say.

#7

Image source: beads-and-things, Getty Images Plastic surgery or anything injected. I don't care how trendy a certain look is. In ten or twenty years, it will look crazy dated and tacky. But I would be stuck with it because unlike makeup or clothes I wouldn't be able to wipe it off or buy new.

#8

Image source: Oilfreeeggs, Mike Von Cropped jumpers and t-shirts. All the shop seem to sell only cropped tops. Great if you are a slim 20-year-old hanging out in cool places but I’m fat middle-aged and on the school run - I need a jumper or shirt that’s going to cover my stomach and bonus if it covers my a**e too!

#9

I don't like how jeans have huge holes in them. They look ridiculous. Image source: lady_laughs_too_much

#10

I’ve learned to never say never. But I can also confidently say I will never purchase a labubu. Image source: Naomi S

#11

Image source: samanthasfs24, Melike B Crocs as going out shoes…. Never.

#12

Image source: intro_spections, A F Laminated eyebrows. I’m not interested in looking like I’ve been permanently zapped by an electric shock.

#13

Uggs, I’m sorry it looks like slippers bro. Image source: ␈? '༄☁️?´•❄️

#14

Guys who wear the pants on show trousers falling down look. whatanabsolutefrog: I feel like that one never really goes away. I remember my mother complaining about young lads walking around with jeans "round their ankles" 20 years ago. Image source: CrazyCoffeeClub

#15

Image source: justmoochin, Moughit Fawzi Shoes with no socks. Mainly men of a certain type thinking that showing a bit of ankle in a sweaty shoe is…. fashion? MmmThisISaTastyBurgr: Shoes with no socks make me physically recoil. Sweaty, slimy feet and draughty ankles. Ewww

#16

Image source: Kitchen-Bid-8235, cottonbro studio Pajamas in public. Especially those plaid pants. Lazy and ridiculous.

#17

Personally, I can’t be bothered with high heels, long fake nails, or flashy outfits that aren’t practical. Comfort always wins for me! Image source: 4_8-15_16_23_42

#18

Skintight dresses with asymmetrical holes everywhere that barely avoid your backside/vulva/breasts. Image source: kouignie

#19

Image source: bat-pal, Abstral Official When u pull out what appears to be a simple sweatshirt or sweatpants to find out it has something stupid like "good vibes only" or some s**t written on it. TaiPer077: Clothes that are cute until you look up close and the back says something stupid like “but first, coffee”

#20

Instagram Face. Peoples faces are starting to homogenize because they’ve all had exactly the same procedures. I saw it described recently as ‘trying to look like a s**y baby’. Image source: pigadaki

#21

Not sure what fashion trends are hot at the moment in other countries or cities but here in Dublin, Ireland, cycling shorts are having a moment and they look hideous. It's mostly younger women, teenagers and women in their early 20s - the kind of people who have the figures to pull off such an unforgiving item of clothing...yet they don't look good at all on any of them. They wear them with heels mostly - all dressed up on the top half like they are going out clubbing then, on the bottom half, cycling shorts and heels. I just do. not. get. it! It's such an unflattering look and it also looks ridiculous. *I feel obliged to admit that I'm a 40 year old woman whose a*s has had it's day* ???. Image source: anon

#22

As a woman, sheer shirts and dresses. I don't want to have to wear a cami under every d**n shirt! Image source: xanadu-in-sedona

#23

Sneaker heels, I just... no. Image source: ????✧

#24

Image source: ketopraktelor, Arata Takami Tabi shoes, I hate them with passion.

#25

Image source: dystopian_manure, Maryia Plashchynskaya Wearing a bra as a top. Still_Quail_5719: I took my mom to the doctor last Friday in NYC and a girl in her early 20s came in wearing shorts and only a bra. I’m in my 30’s and was beside myself. Have some decency and put on a shirt!

#26

Image source: anon, Photo By: Kaboompics.com Overdrawn lip lines are super weird, like I can see your actual lips. It looks clownish. Lip filler because of the migration. Alo. I have been trying to find good quality workout clothes and they actually have been the worst despite the high price tag. It's just Bella + Canvas with a $100+ price tag. Why/how are people affording so much bad quality c**p from there?

#27

Those leggings with the ruching round the a**e. Image source: ForwardImagination71

#28

Image source: Shannoonuns, Tamara Bellis Why are low rise jeans back lmao? Im too fat for that ?? how are you meant to keep them up? CrabbyGremlin: I’m not even fat and they don’t stay up. I guess that’s why belts have also become so popular recently.

#29

I'm generally more bothered by * The fact the fashion cycle has sped up way too fast in the last couple of years which means things don't even have time to stay around long enough to properly be a trend * General enshitifcation of clothing and the fact it's impacting all levels of fashion Than any individual trends, the only thing I guess that really bothers me is the over dominance of neutrals, like I admit I wear black 95 percent of the time (for goth reasons) but I walked into a H and M a while back and it was just like 'where's the colour'.

#30

Image source: blainy-o, Houcine Ncib Clothes that are so tight you can barely move like a normal human. farraigemeansthesea: Never a good look; screams desperation.

#31

Image source: elgrn1, PNW Production Dropped shoulder jumpers sweaters and tops. They aren't flattering at all. The dreaded combo of cropped and oversized together. You just look a mile wide and dishevelled. Visible underwear, either intentionally above the waistband, or under completely sheer clothing, or just a poor choice for the outfit (wrong style or colour or too tight).

#32

Cropped flare pants. I hate that they’re everywhere again. They don’t make ANY body type look good- proportions just look bizarre- and don’t go well with almost any shoes. Image source: Friendly_Coconut

#33

Balenciaga and basically anything Demna Gvasalia touches. The whole brain-dead, logo-emblazoned, fake raver, oversized, goth style. Basically if TikTok was a fashion house. Image source: anon

#34

Image source: WillBsGirl, Alena Shekhovtcova The super high-waisted, often thrifted, 90’s jeans or jean shorts that the girls are wearing now. They made our a**es look long and flat and weird in the 90’s, and they’re making your a*s look long and flat and weird now.

#35

The high fashion trend of modernism. It makes me depressed. Bring back colors and patterns. FREE THE CLOTHES.
