2015 is coming to a close, and what could be a better way to end it than to look back at the fashion trends that we most regret? We’re not being negative here, just making a promise to end them in 2016! Take a look at these 11 worst fashion trends of 2015 that need to find a place in the graveyard right now.
Wearing one earring
Blame this one on the top designers who chose to style their models with one big earring on, leaving the other lobe free. We are sorry, but you should ape this trend only if you want to look lost and distracting. People will remind you that you have misplaced one earring or will want to know if you forgot to wear the other earring while hurrying up to leave the house. To avoid this embarrassing situation say no to this… errmm… not-so-flattering style pronto!
Rainbow hair
To let the world know that you are from a different planet or you belong to the peacock family, this hair trend will help you. People are going gaga over this hair colour trend and dying their hair in pale purple, electric blue, seafoam green and baby pink. We really don’t know what to call it… Peacock hair or Galaxy hair? But we do know one thing that these hair colours fade very fast and damage the hair, literally. Frankly, these cartoony shades have run their course and now it’s time for them to FADE.
Kitten heels
Having a kitten as a pet is definitely a great thought but having kitten HEELS in your wardrobe… NO. Yes, kitten heels are comfortable to wear but unflattering too. Wedges can be a great option when it comes to adding height while remaining comfortable. But kitten heels? Nahhh!
Excessively distressed jeans
The easiest and most fashionable way to look chic and edgy is to pull on a pair of distressed jeans. But jeans that have huge, skin-exposing and foot-long holes looks like you pulled them out of the trash and they need to be laid to rest, like now!
Short shorts
Shorts look sexy when styled properly and are also super comfy for those beach holidays or extra sunny days. But, (we are sorry) very short shorts look cheap and horrible. The question is, when the hemline of your shorts is higher than your underwear then what’s the need of wearing them?
Flash tattoos
One day, Kylie Jenner posted her picture on Instagram with a hair tattoo and now it’s a trend… really? If you are a warrior or a princess then it’s a different story but have you actually seen this trend surface in real life or outside of social media? Definitely not! Put on a bracelet or go in for some cool hair accessories, if you want a flash of something shiny on your arm or hair. But Flash Tattoos, we’d say a BIG NO to that!
Stiletto nails
This trend started by RiRi (our lovely Rihanna) had a MAJOR moment in 2014 and was also seen (sometimes) in 2015. Two years has been a long enough time for these claw-like manis. Now, it’s time to file your nails into a shape that mimics that of your cuticles for a more natural look. In 2016, go for classic short square or round shaped nails because, after all, less will finally be more.
Fake contact lenses
When you already have beautiful eyes, there’s no need to get all freaky with contacts. Why would somebody want to look like an alien? Embrace your natural beauty and accept what God has gifted you with. Don’t fake it, girl.
Dyed armpit hair
Why would somebody want to see your armpit hair? Eeewwww…… this is sounding gross. In our opinion, dyed armpit hair looks as terrible as it sounds. Miley Cyrus was paid to get her pit hair coloured in hot pink and come on she is “Miley Cyrus”. Do we need to say more? This is absolutely the most unrealistic trend and it is really hard to see this trend survive, not for a single f***ing day.
3D nail art
It’s no longer about building 3-D designs on your nails. 2016 is going to be all about shorter nail lengths and negative space manicures. Your natural nails should show through the design. Ditch those nail art kits and tools because it’s all about nude and grey nails which look simple as well as classy.
Ombre hair
Bye, ombré. Having hair that goes from black to bleach blonde is not a look that can be found naturally and makes a person look like they have not seen their stylist for two years. It’s balayage year, the hair colour technique which involves painting on highlights for a more natural, sun-kissed finish that grows out beautifully.
