Style is subjective. However, some things could (and rightfully should) be considered universally awful in the world of style and fashion. Below are 7 fashion trends that are relentless and don't seem to die no matter how terrible and/or overhyped they are. Read ahead and prepare for some graphic images of some truly hideous fashion trends that live on in immortality even though they should've been dead long, long ago.
1. Patagonia Everywhere
Patagonia, in general, is fine, but who decided that this puffy mess was a good look? Also, why do I feel like I see at least 30 people wearing this exact same jacket on my way to class every day?
2. Birkenstocks
Don't even get me started with these generic Birkenstocks. I can't even begin to tell you how many good outfits I've seen ruined by these footwear monstrosities.
3. Lumberjack Fashion
@Guys, all this look does is make you look like a jerk. You look like a poser and we all know that you live in the city and have literally never chopped a single piece of wood in your entire life.
4. Pizza Merch
I get it, everyone is obsessed with pizza and everyone thinks it's ~casual and cool~ to wear merch with pictures of pizza printed all over it. But honestly, the second I see someone wearing pizza merch I immediately brace myself for getting ready to be annoyed and hear someone tell me the same unfunny joke that I've heard a million times before.
5. Ironic T-shirts
You're not funny or edgy. This just makes you look pretentious.
6. ~Street Style Blogger~ Looks (aka just a plain white t-shirt with mom jeans, boots, and oversized sunglasses)
If you wanna rock this look, that's cool. Do you! But just please don't act like you're destined to be on the cover of vogue with your run-of-the-mill style that has been seen on every blogging platform at least 70 million times.
7. Mandals (aka guys wearing sandals)
If it's warm in the summertime and your feet need some room to breathe, fine. Go ahead. But if you have the audacity to wear mandals in the middle of the winter (especially with a pair of jeans and the aforementioned Patagonia puffer jacket), then we need to talk. Please save yourself and others the pain of having to see your winter #manfeet.
*Disclaimer: at the end of the day, I'm a firm believer in everyone wearing whatever the heck they want! This is just my personal take on trends that I'm not personally fond of.*
