The following is a list of 7 fashion trends that I have yet to understand. By no means am I a fashion expert, so if you love one of these styles, I hope you proudly rock it. I am just showcasing some trends that have ultimately made me ask, "But, why?"
1. "Popcorn" Shirts
I just have one question... Why?
Don't get me wrong, I totally bought a shirt like this for my Build-A-Bear but the fact that grown women wore this is beyond me. The material, the look, the concept... This is surely a fashion trend that I am glad has gone extinct.
2. Platform Sneakers
What is happening here?
Maybe I am skeptical because I know for a fact I would break my ankle, but why would you choose this out of all the sneakers available? Also, what kind of pants do you wear with these? I am left with so many questions. I still see these platform style sneakers today, but I just cannot get myself on board.
3. Poof
Yes, I have to call out the poof.
I am guilty of rocking this look my freshman year of high school. The poof was very popular, but come on people, why did we tease our bangs so high? The signature look of cheerleaders and teenage girls everywhere has fortunately taken a back seat, but I wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see it pop up for years to come.
4. Fake Tan
AHHHHHHH!
Okay, this is extreme, but this man is not the first to get a bad fake tan. This just proves that sometimes in our search for beauty we lose our way. Fake tan is a great way to quickly get that bronze glow for an event, but I would rather be as white as snow than be mistaken for Willy Wonka's side kick.
5. Botox
OMG, OMG, OMG..
Is anyone else scared? I understand wanting to look young and refreshed for as long as possible, but more times than not Botox botches faces even in the slightest. Theres just so much stiffness to the look and the youthfulness that was trying to be captured just isn't there. Please, Cameron Diaz, slow down.
6. Pierced Nails
You have got to be kidding me.
Now, the photograph is of Kim Kardashian's recent manicure, but these are a real thing people! How do you type on your phone or the computer? How do you shampoo your hair in the shower? Dare I say it... How do you wipe? I am not sure why this is becoming popular but I don't get the hype.
7. SUPER Ripped Jeans
Jeans?...Shorts?...
I will be honest with you, I am a fan of ripped jeans. There I said it. But why on Earth would you want your entire thigh and knee exposed? Aren't these essentially just shorts and denim leg warmers? I was hesitant to put this one, just because they are very "in" right now, but regardless they have found a spot on my list.
