Trends come and trends go, but nowhere is that more apparent than in the world of fashion and beauty. It seems like only yesterday skinny jeans and smoky eye makeup were all the rage. But now it's considered a thing of the past and "Millennial cringe".
The British Vogue predicts that tank tops, the color red, and plaid will dominate the fashion trends of summer 2025. But will everyone be following these guidelines? Some sentiments online suggest that people are becoming disillusioned with increasingly short trend cycles.
That's why we decided to look into which trends and fads people online find the most annoying. We've gathered the most interesting takes from different Reddit threads and TikTok and present them to you here. Turns out, not everyone is eager to buy into what's popular at the moment.

Super long and overly decorated nails, obnoxious fake lashes/lash extensions, contouring, anything Gucci and Balenciaga (sp?) or just “high fashion”. I feel like the idea of trends is just used to make women feel bad about themselves and force consumerism even more because if you’re not buying all the latest and greatest & keeping up with the trends, you’re made to feel like a loser.

I can't believe young people are bringing back mullets. It's the worst haircut ever.

Cropped jumpers and t-shirts. All the shop seem to sell only cropped tops.

Great if you are a slim 20-year-old hanging out in cool places but I’m fat middle-aged and on the school run - I need a jumper or shirt that’s going to cover my stomach and bonus if it covers my a**e too!

Fast fashion. Congratulations on destroying the planet and exploiting workers.

I don't like how jeans have huge holes in them. They look ridiculous.

Plastic surgery or anything injected. I don't care how trendy a certain look is. In ten or twenty years, it will look crazy dated and tacky. But I would be stuck with it because unlike makeup or clothes I wouldn't be able to wipe it off or buy new.

I’ve learned to never say never. But I can also confidently say I will never purchase a labubu.

I am old so I am not really supposed to get it, but people wearing flip flops and socks and going about their day like they are normal shoes. Especially in the winter.

mr-dirtybassist:

Yeah. We use to laugh at people in socks and sandals...
Now it's trendy??

Shoes with no socks.

Mainly men of a certain type thinking that showing a bit of ankle in a sweaty shoe is…. fashion?

MmmThisISaTastyBurgr:

Shoes with no socks make me physically recoil. Sweaty, slimy feet and draughty ankles. Ewww

Laminated eyebrows. I’m not interested in looking like I’ve been permanently zapped by an electric shock.

When u pull out what appears to be a simple sweatshirt or sweatpants to find out it has something stupid like "good vibes only" or some s**t written on it.

TaiPer077:

Clothes that are cute until you look up close and the back says something stupid like “but first, coffee”

Pajamas in public. Especially those plaid pants. Lazy and ridiculous.

Clothes that are so tight you can barely move like a normal human.

Never a good look; screams desperation.

Instagram Face. Peoples faces are starting to homogenize because they’ve all had exactly the same procedures. I saw it described recently as ‘trying to look like a s**y baby’.

Wearing a bra as a top.

Still_Quail_5719:

I took my mom to the doctor last Friday in NYC and a girl in her early 20s came in wearing shorts and only a bra. I’m in my 30’s and was beside myself. Have some decency and put on a shirt!

Personally, I can’t be bothered with high heels, long fake nails, or flashy outfits that aren’t practical. Comfort always wins for me!
