11 trends 20-Something Girls Will Still Rock Despite A Guy's Opinion

Look, folks. It's 2018. I've been listening to people tell me what articles of clothing girls should and should not wear for at least three years, and it's exhausting! Newsflash, folks: girls don't care what people trends guys hate.

1. Red lipstick.

The number of guys I've heard complain about red lipstick being unattractive and messy is absurd. You don't have to worry about it! My red lips will be going nowhere near you.

2. Coffin nails.

I'm gonna be real with you: a majority of the time, my rebuttal to "I don't like this trend!" can be boiled down to "I'm not getting anywhere near you with my coffin nails/red lips/etc., so your opinion doesn't matter."

3. High-waisted jeans/shorts.

Guys aren't the only ones guilty of bashing this trend; I've been told by even my own mother (et tu, Brute?) that my high-waisted skinny jeans make my but look long and flat.

4. Chacos.

I've heard every argument for and against Chacos, and all that matters to me is the fact that they're comfortable.

5. Baggy shirts and Nike shorts.

This is another issue of comfort over fashion, really.

6. Dark eye makeup.

Just because some of y'all don't have the precision and control to master smokey eyes doesn't mean that the rest of us can't rock them.

7. Oversized sunglasses.

Can... Can girls not block out the sun, too? Are sunglasses now exclusive to guys?

8. Sneakers.

Some of my research has shown that guys... don't like when girls wear sneakers. I honestly don't even have anything snarky to say to that.

9. High heels.

Seriously, can girls win at all?

10. Birkenstocks.

Come on - let us have our hippie sandals. Please.

11. Clothes in general, I guess.

I think I figured it out! Guys are genuinely concerned for our comfort, and they just want us to wear footie pajamas all the time. That's it, obviously. Ditch uncomfortable jeans and shoes for cozy PJ's. It's what the men really want.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
