The Weirdest Trends Of 2018

In This Article:

I am no fashion or lifestyle expert, but there are some trends that I simply cannot wrap my head around. Whether its horribly lip-synced videos or the use of plastic bags as purses, here are a few trends that truly stood out in 2018.


Biker Shorts

Youtube

Biker shorts are literally just spandex sports shorts that are classified as fashion because of Kim Kardashian West. I get that they're comfortable but since when do we label sportswear fashion?

Transparent Handbags

Youtube

The see-through handbag made its appearance mid-2018. The transparency of this handbag makes it easy for everyone to spot the contents of your entire bag, including your wallet, change, and pepper spray.

TikTok Videos

Youtube

Just when we thought the lip-syncing to songs on video trend was dead, it made a comeback via TikTok, an app on the iPhone that records 15 to 60-second videos featuring people lip-syncing or dancing to songs, also known as miming.

Transparent Boots

Youtube

The counterpart to the transparent handbags, see-through boots were also a "thing" in 2018. These shoes make leg hair and sweat very visible, so naturally, Kim Kardashian endorsed the product.

Halo Eyebrows

Youtube

Funky eyebrows have been a reoccurring theme over the past few years. Last year, we saw beauty gurus draw their eyebrows in a swirly motion to the middle of their forehead- it's a casual look.

Denim Knee-High Boots

Youtube

These boots take denim to a whole new level. I can actually see how some people might want to indulge in this trend, but there's no doubt that it's still a pretty odd look.

I'm sure this list of questionable trends could go on, but these were most "striking" of the bunch.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
