But another tiresome thing is our reversing of wardrobe trends and bringing them forward like they were good trends. Some of these trends were bad to begin with and just like time change, we really need to give them up.
Here is my list of the top 5 fashion trends that are unfortunately making another comeback.
5) Mismatched Earrings:

Maybe The Breakfast Club was too early for her to realize she grabbed the wrong pair? |
You don't look cool. You look like you're too blind to realize that you don't have the same earrings on. This trend popularized during the 80's is showing up at stores everywhere. I first saw it while looking for earrings in the Icing; and upon further investigation, saw that they had spread to designer lines for adult women as well.
4) Stirrup Pants:
Stirrups today are still ugly |
Stirrups in the 80's |
Because your leggings need feet. This unflattering style just makes you look like you're not old enough to dress without help. Stirrup pants are slightly understandable for a two year old but not for anyone over the age of five. So the reappearance of these hideous 80's throwbacks is truly mysterious.
3) Crop tops:
Good thing she has an innie |
Even the girl in the background was shocked Tyra wore a crop top in the 90s |
I grew up during the height of this trend during the 90's and I remember how horrible it was. Honestly, no one wants to know if you have an innie or an outie. The only people who really appreciated this trend were men and that was only until they stopped watching the television version of the trend and walked outside to see the average woman wearing it with her muffin top, now visible, rolling over the edges of her shorts.
Yes ,the style still looks indecent today |
No surprise that she became a home-wrecker on 90210 |
Just because you add let to the end doesn't mean it lets you wear a bra as a shirt. It looks just as inappropriate now as it did in the 90's. They should be worn underneath your shirt not as your shirt. I saw a mother and her about eight-year-old daughter wearing bralets the other day; and it was one of those moments where I really wondered what hope was left for humanity.
STOP! Hammer time |
Joy Bryant steps out in the harem atrocity |
Let's not inflict on future generations what we weren't smart enough to figure out the first time. Really, just let it go already. Even Rick Astley knows when to give up better.
What other styles do you think shouldn't be making a comeback?
