When I look back at photos of myself from middle school, I cringe for many reasons: my mouth full of metal, my awkwardness (which I'm still hoping to grow out of) and, of course, my questionable fashion choices. And while I can forgive myself for those looks because I was simply a child, there are plenty of adults today who continue to follow fashion trends that they’ll undoubtedly regret.
Reddit users have recently been calling out the fashion and beauty trends they can’t stand, so we’ve gathered some of their thoughts below. Taste is subjective, so you may feel that the hate on some of these fads is unwarranted, but we hope you enjoy channeling your inner Anna Wintour as you scroll through this list. Keep reading to find a conversation with Maria Juvakka, Founder and Chief Editor of Chic Pursuit, and be sure to upvote the trends you wish would die out too!

I don't understand beanies as a fashion thing. If it's cold, then f**k yeah, beanies. But the height of summer, with half the thing hanging off the back of your head? I don't get it.

Most trendy clothes don't look good unless you have an 'ideal' body type (crop tops, baggy dad jeans, etc).

Over lining lips, people can tell and they just look stupid and clownish

I've never liked the trend of men's suits being cut "skinny" where they look just a shade on the too-small side. Especially the pants. It reminds me of wearing my suit to church on Sunday when I was going through my teenage growth spurt. (My parents didn't want to waste money on a new suit until I'd finished growing. Can't blame them.)
I've always thought a leisure suit should look loose and "leisurely." I go for the more baggy look whether it's in style or not. (A formal suit, of course, should be tailored.)

Skintight body suits. I never saw anyone wear these until I moved to Florida, and people wear them all the time down here. Onesie bodysuits that look like singlets. They give instant camel toe and don't look good on anyone.

Crocs.
I dont care if theyre apparently comfy. Fashion-wise, a huge no.
Edit: wear whatever you want around home or whatever, its them being worn out and about, people matching their crocs to their outfits very intentionally, etc. that's questionable to me.

The fake freckles across the cheeks and bridge of the nose and the fake red nose. So stupid looking.

High waisted jeans. Makes me feel like I'm wearing a diaper and I can't find regular jeans in the mall anymore.
Even more infuriating are those bikini bottoms that go up over your hips and up your butt crack.

Low rise jeans. I’m all for people wearing what they want but if you’re midsize or above they’re very challenging and almost guaranteed to fall down/show buttcrack/give muffin top and affect the way your shirts fall. All for what, to look like you have a super long torso? No thanks.

Those weird half-cut tops. Excuse me Target, some of us are not teenagers. I'd like to cover my midriff.
