With every new year comes new trends. 2017 was quite a year with some pretty useless trends.
This week, I was stuck on what to write about. So my friend suggested writing about some of the dumbest trends of the past year.
Looking back at 2017, there were so many trends. With new trends being born daily, a handful is quite... how do I say this nicely... stupid.
There are those few trends that no one even knows why they're trends; they just are. Most of them are fashion-related, and some are just general trends that are dumb.
I didn't create this post to offend anyone. I asked a few friends what they thought were the dumbest trends of last year, and this is what I got. So, without further adieu, here are the top 10 dumbest trends of 2017!
1. Weird eyebrows
I'm sorry, why were weird, squiggly, feathered, and braided eyebrows ever a thing? I sometimes wonder how people come up with these dumb "trends".
2. Bottle flipping
Aren't there any other ways we can entertain ourselves?
3. Overly distressed jeans
I love distressed jeans just as much as the next girl, but some people overdo it. It gets to a point where enough is enough and you're showing so much leg that you might as well be wearing shorts.
4. Fidget spinners
They started off being made to help kids with ADHD, but soon everyone had a fidget spinner and the "trend" got annoying. I'm all for helping kids that need help with keeping still, but not everyone needs one everywhere.
5. Dabbing
This was always annoying, to be honest. If you consider this an actual dance move, what are you doing?
6. Overdrawn lips
I'm sorry, but not even Kylie herself looks good with overdrawn lips.
7. This haircut
Do I even need to say anything?
8. Pink pom poms on everything
But how do you wash this without ruining it, though?
9. Super plump lips
This was such a dangerous challenge and it didn't even wind up looking good. Thank God that trend is over.
10. Corset belts
First of all, why was this a trend? Secondly, OUCH...
Overall, 2017 had some pretty weird trends, but it also had some pretty good ones. This list just doesn't include the good ones.
Again, I'm not trying to offend anyone but I feel like a lot of people can agree with a lot of the things on this list.
Thank you 2017 for the weird trends, and welcome to 2018's even weirder trends!
