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!

Long denim skirts. They’re so trendy right now and I’m not sure why. Not flattering at all.

Men’s dress slacks are too tight and they look like high waters. Looks like their pants are too small. Also I’m not going sockless in my $250 loafers. They’d be ruined by sweat in a few outings.

Acid washed mom jeans. I lived in those in the 80’s and 90’s, why on earth would anyone bring them back now? They look terrible on most people that wear them.

Kids wearing hoodies ALL THE TIME. I live in FL and was driving by the local high school the other day. It was 93 degrees and sunny outside. Nearly every kid was in dark jeans and a dark hoodie.
Edit: Yes, it gets cold in class. I’m taking long breaks or waking home in obnoxiously hot weather, or just wearing those clothes in the middle of summer.
