• We often try to look our best when we walk out the front door but it's hard to
keep up with every trend.
But what are some fashions that we all ended up hating?
And when did the designers go to far?
Here's fifteen fashion trends that offended the world.
15 – Low Slung Jeans • A lot of the time, fashion ends up just
doing the opposite of what was popular before.
While the late 90s saw a return of flared pants; tight at the thigh and loose at the
ankle, this decade has reversed that.
Popularised by Justin Bieber, among others, many people wore skinny jeans that are tight
on the calf but with a low, baggy crotch.
It looks a bit like you've shit yourself in leggings.
14 – Lip implants • Around 1900, surgeons were already trying
to give lips a boost by injecting them with paraffin but it never really worked; probably
a good thing as a hot meal could set your face on fire.
In the 60s it was silicone and now the most popular is bovine collagen, meaning it comes
from cows, or transferring fat from somewhere else in your body.
In the US alone, there are almost 30,000 lip surgeries per year.
• However, if it's slightly over done, then you end up with bloated fish lips, or
the trout pout as it's sometimes known.
13 – Mullet • The mullet is often referred to as "business
at the front, party at the back" but it has to be one of the most universally disliked
haircuts that has ever existed.
And the name has an interesting history.
Mullet-Headed has been an insult for a couple of hundred years, even referenced by Mark
Twain.
The haircut was actually named by legendary hip-hop group The Beastie Boys, on a track
called "Mullet Head."
Ad-Rock describes it clearly saying "Cut the sides, don't touch the back".
• Seriously, it's in the dictionary that The Beastie Boys created the term "mullet"
12 – Fur coats • In the old days, animal skins and furs
were one of the only things you could wear to stay warm in winter.
However, now that we can make textiles from coconut husks and, this is totally true, fermented
wine, we clearly have the technology to make amazing fabric, without all the animal murdering.
• Many countries in Europe now prevent farming animals specifically for fur and for certain
species, the fur is banned completely.
11 – Socks and sandals • If you are wearing a white sock, there
are two things you can't put on next.
One is a black shoe, you're not Michael Jackson.
The second is a sandal.
Socks and sandals is a look which says "I have given up on my appearance".
• Surprisingly, some studies have found trace fibres on roman sandals, which suggests
that the world's most famous sandal wearers may have begun this horrific combination.
10 – Louis Vuitton fakes • Louis Vuitton were one of the first companies
ever to use a branded material.
They started out making travel cases and used brown and beige stripes, and later their famous
monogram, to help customers identify their product.
• But, ironically, their brand is now the most faked in the world.
So those wallets and handbags have gone from being a symbol of exclusive wealth, to being
associated with celebrity and cheap holiday knock offs.
9 – Ramones t-shirts • The Ramones were a hugely influential
punk band, active from the mid-70s to the mid-90s.
And although they were quite a big band, this isn't why you see their t-shirts all over
the world.
• Recently, major fashion retailers like H&M have started selling massive quantities
of band t-shirts, like The Ramones and Nirvana, just for the design.
There are plenty of kids out there wearing one who have no idea who the band are.
As you can guess, true fans are pretty annoyed by this.
Hey ho. 8 – Orange tan
• In much of Europe and North America, tanning salons and fake tan creams are an enormous
business, as people try to cheat their way to that perfect summer glow.
• It used to be that tanning was a sign of poorer, outdoor workers but this changed
after the growth of air travel in the 1920s and 30s, and through icons like Coco Channel.
• Fake tans first appeared in the 1950s and are still a growing market, despite the
many orange disasters you see walking the streets and occasionally, you know, running
countries 7 – Cultural appropriation
• The great thing about fashion is that it can take inspiration from anywhere and
anything.
The not so great thing, is that it takes them and then hands them over to wealthy white
westerners.
• This year, Channel released a boomerang.
It cost $2000 despite the fact that it is basically a fake version of traditional Aboriginal
art and culture.
The Maasai tribe had a similar issue with Louis Vuitton in 2012, since they copied Maasai
styles but without offering any compensation.
6 – Jumpsuits for men • The 70s were a very strange time for men's
fashion, with trends like wearing a belt over a knitted sweater or having a collar so high,
it looks like your being protected from vampires.
But worst of all has to be the male all-in-one jumpsuit.
• Unless you're flying a plane or doing maintenance, please have the top and bottom
of your clothes separated, guys.
5 – Nazi Zara • Zara create new designs in a fraction
the time of most other brands.
This means new clothes are hitting the stores all the time, which is part of the reason
for their success.
• But some items could have done with a bit more planning.
It was supposed to have a fun, wild-west feel, with a sheriff's badge.
• But a lot of people saw it and wondered why Zara were selling a Nazi concentration
camp outfit, complete with a Star of David.
Awkward.
4 – Adidas shackles • Another similarly insensitive step came
from Adidas.
A new line of basketball sneakers were due to be released until someone pointed out that
the fun, yellow, plastic shackles that came attached to them might not go down to well
with their black audience, you know, because slavery was a thing.
3 – Flash thong • Nude beaches exist so people who want
to be naked at the beach can run wild and free, there's nothing wrong with that.
• But this nightmare piece of swimwear, very sexily named the "alter lateral flash
thong" is so much worse than someone being naked.
Even Paris Hilton was offended by the sight, tweeting a picture with the hashtag #isthisajoke?
2 – Coloured afros • Fashion magazines and catwalks are never
as representative as they should be, with the majority of the models being very thin
and very white.
• But when Vogue had a white, blonde model called Gigi Hadid on their cover in 2015,
they put her in an afro in every shot, and the question is: why?
1 – Giant Fur Keychains • There's nothing wrong with accessorising
your bag, and there's nothing wrong with keychains.
But not when the keychain is BIGGER THAN THE BAG.
• At that point you're likely going to forget which one contains all your things
and which is a useless whenever you reach down.
