Fashion is fickle. Today it is high tempo and high energy. Tomorrow it is outdated and irrelevant. It is just like a person with multiple personalities, who can be predictable and unpredictable to certain degrees.
Now take a look at your wardrobe. You may need this exercise. If you have any of the following you may want to do away with them for the time being because they have been tagged as the worst fashion trends of all time by experts:
1. Cheezy slogan shirts
Whether or not you’re with stupid, the only thing your T-shirt should tell people is that you’ve got the building blocks of a good wardrobe down to a fine art. Though T.shirts with political messages or bold streetwear branding have been trending recently, they shouldn’t open the door for older styles with or without matured messages.
2. Uggs for men
You need to drop the uggs. Don’t get us wrong, in recent years the Californian brand has produced some rather stylish hiking boots and even a sneaker or two. But these were an in and out abomination.
3. Sagging jeans
Regardless of how much you can squat, no one wants to see your underwear bursting out of your denim. Supposedly inspired by the ban on belts in the US prison system, sagging jeans were adopted as an anti-authoritarian statement by LA gangs and hip-hop stars during the 1990s. It is distasteful allowing your jeans to drop below your buttocks. Jeans should sit on your hips to let the legs hang properly.
4. Drop-crotch trousers
The instant illusion of wearing a big, sagging adult-sized nappy on your lower half will ensure you’re never invited to another social gathering ever again. The comfort you gain from these wardrobe “horrors” is nothing that you can’t get from a pair of relaxed-leg trousers.
5. Oversized belt buckle
Much like a tank-sized SUV or an extensive air rifle collection, the idea behind a brash and brassy oversized belt buckle is to let everyone know you’re packing. But in reality, it does exactly the opposite – not only exposing your deepest insecurities but also your awful sense of style.
6. Square-toed shoes
Despite how ‘smart-casual’ you think they might look, or how comfortable they might be, you need to do away with square-toed shoes. Scrap them, and stick to time-honoured footwear styles like classic round-toed Oxfords and Derbies. Your feet will thank you, and so will we.
