which trends should die?

The New York Times is so over skulls, studs, and see-through clothing.
They’re also not fans of Charlize Theron’s infamous “cupcake” dress that she wore to this year’s Academy Awards (left).
Along with these styles, 50′s-inspired fashion spreads, designers copycatting Celine’s iconic minimalism, and weird folded skirts are major offenders on the newspaper’s “10 Looks We Never Want to See Again” slideshow for 2010.
We agree with most of their picks, but want to know if they forgot anything, so we’re asking you:
Which trends are you totally sick of?

Colouring your hair grey on purpose!

With the exception of denim diapers and skulls, I actually still like all of these.
Awww well, I guess I’ll never be a hipster. Pity.

I’m still in love with sheer/seethrough clothing, but I’m ready to give up skulls, studs, bumpits, and anything else that can be seen on jersey shore. (does ed hardy still exist?)

Jeggings

Wearing leggings as pants. Stop looking to cast members of the jersey Shore for style tips!

Clogs! They’re disgusting.
Bad highlighting jobs. Though, that’s not a trend, but still.
I’m also not too much a fan of belly showing shirts, unless your tummy is flat and it looks good of course.
I don’t like the earing chains that go all around your ear and stuff.
I think one piece bathing suits should come back, they’re mysteriously sexy because they don’t reveal everything!

Oh, and also Taylor Momsen’s eye make up style, ew!

those tacky played-out medallion ballet flats from Tory Burch + the knock-offs. Everyone has them and they are awful. uuuugh!
jeggings.
over-the knee pirate boots.
top-of-the head “fashion” buns. they are really just for making your hair voluminous and wavy when you take it out of the bun. keep those buns for sleep time!
the obsession with mustaches. there are now mustaches on everything. necklaces, pillows, shirts, etc. will these girls ever get over it? at least the OWL obsession is finally over.
actually let’s just say ALL “ironic” facial hair. way played out.

Hammer/harem pants! They make you look like you have a fully loaded diaper hanging out in there.
Rompers. They should ONLY be sized for babies.

Girls (and boys) who wear fake over-sized eye glasses as a fashion accessory. This has got to go!
January 6th, 2011 at 12:55 am
printed shirts with white wrinkles, really short shorts, showing off you’re breasts, ANYTHING ed hardy style, polka dots, hearts, stars, ballet flats, flat boots…. although style beats fashion, so there has got to be people out there that rock any number of these items just because they got style!

See-Through is so not over. Wait til summer!! It’s everywhere, and so is minimalism.
OUT:
Ray Ban sunglasses, or frames without lenes.
Bleach treated denim
bright busy multi-colored leggings, and hoodies
unikinis/monokinis
bubble hem dresses
headbands
pointy toed shoes and thin heels

I’m sick of the obsession with slapping the label, “hipster”, on anything that’s unconventional! All that word really is meant to describe is someone who follows a trend in vain.
As for specific trends in vain I am completely done with:
-most flannels are pretty hard to pull of/ make unique these days. Come on, we’ve seen it for three years now! give us something new!
-denim diapers for us girls- yuck! stop with the cut offs/ white trash america irony thing. Also, i’ve seen enough bald eagle crop tops at concerts and the like that you’d think i was at a tea party convention!
-most florals- I’m sorry but that ended right about when Tracy Feith for target’s 2009 GO line left the racks.
I’m leaving out a lot, but those are probably the worst of 2010. Don’t get me wrong, I actually really appreciated all of these when they were still relevant, but come on girls, let’s actually get creative!
Let’s try doing the underdone, instead, and detach ourselves from what being a “hipster” really means.
ps- ?? i still think transparency can be done right!

hats with ears/faces. they’re stupid unless you’re under 8 years old. i’m looking at you taylor swift.
January 6th, 2011 at 2:54 am
wearing plaid lumberjack-esque shirts for motives/reasons other than warmth and/or living in farm country.
let’s not kid ourselves.the more they spread across the industry, from the top of the designer food chain down to the very bottom of the discount mass-production retailers, the more these pathetic faux pas–strangely mass marketed as cornerstones of an illusory so-called trendsetter’s closet–disable you from looking like the dreamy, ironic, rebellious, trendy, stereotypical hipster you so nakedly are attempting to personify, when in reality, you look tacky, unoriginal, and desperate, buying in to the idolization of hipsters: the absolute antithesis of core hipster values and codes, however pretentious or mockable.
i say, cut the shit. let’s throw a plaid flannel bonfire, and invite the entire world.

Some people need to relax, its fine stating what trends you don’t enjoy and won’t wear but telling people what to do…Its just fashion, don’t get so angry
January 6th, 2011 at 3:41 am
I disagree with a few on their list. I can’t stand skulls but I love studs. And I’ve always loved military styled clothing so seeing epaulets, band leader fringe, etc. On blazers and coats is something I love that came into style.
Things I want to go away though:
Harem pants
Women’s trousers styled exactly like mens trousers (they’re so unflattering)– and let’s add the “boyfriend jean” to this while were at it
Fur on anything
Clogs

I will never give up studs as long as they are GaGa-worthy; this is an all-or-nothing dram-glam look.
Minimalism is a joke that needs a little embellishment to make sense.
The obsession with the ’50s is the most obvious symptom of American pop culture’s Peter Pan Syndrome.
And cheap, prom-y taffeta should never, ever walk the red carpet–more class, less sass, people.

kitten heels? anybody?
January 6th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
while i agree with a lot of these i still love trapper hats and studs (but not if the studs are overdone)
and i agree with recklessentanglement, i hate kitten heels with a passion
January 6th, 2011 at 11:41 pm
Some of these are ridiculous. People with naturally full eyebrows shouldn’t hide it just because it was trendy for a while. Any of the items on the list would look bad if overdone, the key is to use studs, military embellishments, draping, etc sparingly. The only thing I wholeheartedly agree with are the denim diapers–Why The Face?!
January 7th, 2011 at 11:40 am
some of these I completely agree with:
*the hats with the animal faces/ears?
* The big frames? I wear my big Oliver People’s frames but their prescription.
If you don’t have need glasses to SEE, why do you need them> SHOW YOUR FACE!
* the studs are getting too much now… it’s not innovative anymore
*leggings with your but hanging out
* U G G S
*the floral skirt witht the plain tank tops…boring.

All these poor scene kids would wear those 3D glasses without the lenses in them, and it made me want to poke them in their not-lens-protected eyes. For someone who needs prescription glasses it feels like the tackiest display of trying to be trendy for 2010.
January 7th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
I think the trend of coloring your hair grey on purpose is ridiculous.
Other than that who cares what’s in? If you’re looking at other people to tell you what to wear, there’s something wrong with you.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:54 am
good by jeggings!!! and tanktop-skirt-dresses ugh so unoriginal and everyone was wearing them
January 13th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
I’m sick of oxford shoes! They’re now everywhere. Black lipstick. Crazy wedges. All these weird shirts with shapes on them that don’t mean anything, like t-shirts with triangles on it. NO ONE GETS IT! Fake prescription glasses. RIPPED/RUNS in tights. Crucifixes. Tribal patterns. FLORAL EVERYTHING!!! PLEASE DIE FLORALS!!!
January 17th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Orange tights!
