Fashion Faux-Pas

Written by Alyssa

I personally think that fashion trends, much like other things, come in 3 stages: the good, the bad, and the ugly. The ugliest being these awful shoes that are so dreadful I cannot even discuss them, but I will now share with you the ugliest fashion trends that, in my opinion, should have been kicked to the curb a long time ago. Here we go…

Gladiator Sandals

Gladiator Sandals

These hideous sandals were around during the times of the ancient Greeks, and they should have stayed there. I don’t care how thin you are, these sandals will ultimately give you “cankles”. I hope to god that they do not reappear this spring/summer. Not a fan.

High-Waisted Jeans

High-Waisted Jeans

These pants are awful in so many ways. First of all, it will give the appearance of having a rather tall rear end, and will make any person seem 10 pounds heavier even though they are considered to be “figure flattering”. If Mischa can’t pull it off, I definitely cannot.

Harem Pants

Harem Pants

Again, another pair of pants that shouldn’t be worn on anyone who…well, no one should be wearing them. They remind me of M.C. Hammer and Aladdin.

Maxi Dresses

Now, this is one style that I tend to like on other people, but absolutely LOATHE on myself. Since I am under 5’5″, this style dress tends to look like I am wearing a potato sack. To those who can wear this and pull it off, more power to you.

Boyfriend Jeans

Boyfriend Jeans

These jeans are meant for exactly who they say: your boyfriend. Though a few cute ideas have been thought of as how to femme up this emerging trend, I just don’t think it is for me.
