Hey Pandas, What Are The Worst Fashion Trends Ever Created?

80s big hair and skinny jeans on any oversized man.

Unpopular opinion here: Ballet Flats. The kind that offer zero arch support and have no protection for any part of your foot. I’m honestly more comfortable in a 5” platform than these toe pinching, useless, slippery, ugly excuses for shoes. For someone with tailors Bunyan’s and high arches they’re a one way ticket to plantar fasciitis and puncture wounds.

Men’s brightly colored, wide-lapeled, double-vented, full-on polyester leisure suit with rayon shirt to match and white slip-on shoes.

Yoga pants. Please stop!

Low-rise jeans. I reminisce on the haute pair of designer jeans I rocked in college (specifically 2003) with a six-inch rise, zipper barely longer than the pull tab, and personal grooming required before a night out and . . . well, I begin sounding like a journalism student asking open-ended questions: why did fashion embrace that trend‽ how did I manage to stand for the entire night at the club because sitting wasn't an option‽ and what was I thinking‽

Pants with fake/ inadequate pockets.
My husband and I have the same model phone. His fits in his pockets, mine doesn't. Any time I go to the bathroom, if I don't remove my phone from my pocket first, it ends up on the floor. I broke two screens that way.

Also, pre-distressed jeans. They wear out faster from disintegrating in the wash, and they cost more anyway.

Low waisted pants
Cropped tops
Most of 90's fashion tbh

Guys wearing jeans pulled ridiculously low. I'm not seeing it as often as I did, so that's a good thing.

bodycons, suits worn with t-shirts instead of shirts, baby clothes with sexual or adult messages. Also this is is not really fashion, but a trend: the pressure on men and women to be the peak of physical perfection to be considered attractive.

Skirts over pants. This was a brief trend maybe 20-25 years ago. Not skirts with leggings; actual pants. It looked awkward and disappeared almost as quickly as it began

Cold shoulder blouses. Crop tops.

Just all of it. The fact it exists and the structure around it. The people getting together and saying "blue will be really in this year" or whatever and then every retailer buys nothing but blue and if you don't like that then tough cos that's all there is now. The while thing designed to keep maximum turnover instead of supplying you with clothes. And everything all out of step with the actual weather - shop in (Northern hemisphere) March and it's all summer dresses, by August it's winter boots. Even children's clothes, which is insane because children not only grow but routinely spill things and lose things. If it's winter I want the shops to contain hats and coats, not sundresses, and I want a choice of cuts and colour.

Stirrup pants, gauchos, and belly bags.

Skorts and jorts for me

Skinny jeans on literally ANYONE

parachute pants... gotta love those 80's

Feckin crop tops!

Fake drawn-on eyebrows. The gascination with dark penciled on eyebrows wil always baffle me. Why in the world would you want to look like an angry crossover between Groucho Marx and Mister Spock??

Also: 'Botox-faces' why would you want to lose the ability to have your own unique facial expressions, just so you can look like lots of others with the same unnatural face and balloon-lips?

Btw, no offence meant to anyone!

parachute pants.."cant touch this"

Earth shoes
