Trends are constantly changing, and being in college it's easy to feel a heavy responsibility to keep up. There are many things though that went out of style that really do need to make a comeback.
1. Colored Skinny Jeans
We probably all remember these from our junior high days. If you didn't own a pair of pink skinny jeans, you were probably out of the inner circle. It was fairly typical for groups of friends to be walking around looking like a crayon box.
2. Avril Lavigne
There was really nothing better to do in the angsty teenage years than to rock out to "Complicated" in your room for hours. Avril Lavigne was something everyone could bond over. I even remember my mom having that CD in her car. "S8ter Boi" was a great influence on teens who were already immensely confused about their love lives.
3. Diaries
No one has to actually call it a diary if they don't want to, but keeping a journal can be very therapeutic. Everyone had a diary when they were little to keep their most personal secrets in, but they can be used to just write down stuff about your day. Bonus: It will improve your writing skills.
4. Denim Skirts
I'm pretty sure there were like a million songs that bring up how sexy a girl looks in a denim skirt. I'm still very confused why short denim skirts ever went out of style, but I think now would be a great time to bring them back. Especially accompanied with some UGG boots!
5. Juicy Couture
I still have nightmares about all the Juicy track suits and perfume that flooded the halls in junior high. Juicy Couture was a staple for most girls, and if you didn't have it, you were pretty much out. What's more comfortable than a track suit though?
6. Blonde Tips on Men
There was a time, a long long long time ago, when tips on men were all the rage. In that time, the number of marriages in the United States didn't go down, so I think it's safe to say that blonde tips are the way to go.
7. Ed Hardy
If there is one thing I really loathe in life, it is Ed Hardy. If you were in Southern California about 5-7 years ago, you saw Ed Hardy everywhere. Now what is really so cool about weird animals and Ed Hardy's name? The world will probably never know, but I remember clinging to my Ed Hardy trucker hat, v-neck and flip flops.
8. Tall Tees
I will probably never get over that I talked to guys in junior high that wore tall tees on a daily basis. First of all, what the heck is a tall tee, and who gave it that name? A tall tee? That is one trend I will never understand, but if you really want to win a girl's heart on the first date, a tall tee is the way to go.
9. Toms
I know these are maybe still going out of style, but seriously, why? I own like five pairs of Toms shoes and I would love to use them sometime. Plus you are a real humanitarian if you wear Toms; I'm sure all the kids in Africa need shoes that have virtually no support.
10. Logo Tee Shirts
I work at Abercrombie, and we still sell various items that say Abercrombie or A&F on the front. You can pretty much go into any store and get something with their logo on it, but really, those used to be all the rage. I mean honestly, why wouldn't you want everyone to know where your clothes are from?
