Fashion has always been very changeable: what was previously considered completely unacceptable, after a while, can easily conquer the world’s catwalks. However, there are things that it is better to refuse altogether, because they have neither practical meaning nor beauty.
So, let’s look at a selection of the most tasteless and ridiculous trends that some fashionistas still like – and therefore do not disappear completely.
10 “Jewelry” hairpins
Hair combs and swirling headbands from the 90s are making a triumphant return, but there are still some accessories that are not even worth mentioning.
Hairpins coated with “silver-gold”, artificial pearls, rhinestones greatly spoil even very beautiful and sophisticated hairstyles, making them tasteless and pretentious.
It is recommended to give preference to simpler buns, braids, tails, minimal styling and loose strands.
As accessories, it is better to use not “jewelry”, but geometric hairpins made in the form of stripes, triangles, circles. You can use regular rubber bands or invisible ones.
9. Synthetic lace
Lace is an element of clothing that has always been considered one of the most feminine. In recent years, lace materials have again become very popular, but mass-market products should be distinguished from high-quality models created by famous designers. Cheap synthetic dresses make the image not romantic, but vulgar.
If you cannot find ready-made clothes made of expensive lace for sale, you can buy the material you like on your own and sew the necessary item to order. However, today it is quite possible to find ready-made options: high-quality lace products are often offered by young designers.
8. Hidden platform sneakers
Such sneakers in Russia are called “arrowheads”, in other countries – “snickers”. Designed by Isabelle Marant. The aesthetics of such shoes have always been in question, and they are completely unsuitable for running or other training. The only plus of the arrowroots is the ability to add a few centimeters of height due to the hidden platform.
Instead of “snickers” it is recommended to choose bulky shoes with thick and rough soles. Such models look quite stylish and original, besides, they go well with a variety of things – from romantic outfits to denim.
7. acrylic sweater
It is very difficult to find an acrylic sweater in the mass market, but this does not negate its many shortcomings. Such things crunch unpleasantly, are highly electrified, and spools often appear on them.
Acrylic material protects very poorly in cold weather, so it’s better to completely abandon such sweaters: there is practically no use for them. It is recommended to give preference to cashmere products: they are warmer and more durable.
6. Summer boots
Summer boots with lace have long been a well-known anti-trend, but so far it has not been possible to completely eradicate it. Some, for some reason, still like these shoes, but this does not negate the fact that they do not fit at all with short skirts, flowy dresses, or shorts.
It is recommended to stop the choice not on summer boots, but on light lace slip-ons. They look much better and go with a variety of things: linen outfits, long skirts, denim and so on. Some prefer not to choose lace, but thin leather, which is also quite suitable for the summer season.
5. Jeggings
The mixture of leggings and jeans has gone out of fashion, so you can breathe a sigh of relief. However, some still stubbornly continue to wear such tasteless clothes. For everyday wear, it is too tight, for the gym – too catchy and frilly.
In addition, it is worth noting that jeggings are only for girls with a perfect figure and very beautiful legs, and these come across very rarely. For sports, it is better to choose elastic leggings, and for walking – jeans of a suitable cut.
4. Afghani
Afghanis have been around for quite some time and have a history full of ups and downs, but they regularly appear in the rankings of the most unfortunate women’s outfits.
Such clothes are especially annoying for the stronger sex, who usually want to see something more feminine on girls. It is difficult to deny that the Afghani greatly violate the proportions of the figure. At the same time, they are convenient for dancing or yoga.
Instead of an Afghani, you can wear culottes: they make the look stylish, but at the same time – a little casual. However, it should be borne in mind that such things are only for tall and long-legged girls. If the legs are short, culottes will make the figure even more disproportionate.
3. Back zip jeans
Previously, it seemed to many that jeans, the zipper of which is located at the back, are original and interesting. However, fashionistas nevertheless quickly realized that these clothes are too vulgar and defiant for everyday wear.
It is better to choose models with a standard zipper. In some cases, it is worth letting the classics rule the ball: for example, when the best options have already been invented, but there is no point in changing them.
2. Cycling shorts
Bicycle shorts, tight legs, made fashionable eccentric Kim Kardashian. Such clothes go well with a long jacket or trench coat.
Some celebrities wear cycling shorts this way, but it’s best to wear them with protective gear and a secure helmet. Instead of “bicycles”, you should pay attention to safari-style clothes or fashionable skirts and shorts.
1. Bolero
This is a short cardigan that is usually worn with bandage dresses. Boleros were popular in the early 00s and have remained somewhere in those days. Stylists believe that such clothes should only be worn with outfits in the style of the 20s.
For everyday wear, it is better to purchase short blazers. Instead of a bolero, you can purchase a shortened jacket that does not violate the proportions of the figure. Such things look good with dresses, skirts and high-waisted jeans.
