Bid Adieu to the Biggest Fashion Failures of the Year ...

Bid Adieu to the Biggest Fashion Failures of the Year ...
By Lyndsie • Jan 10, 2022 MD

Happens every year. Just like every other year before it, 2015 had a few questionable trends in fashion, beauty, hair, and makeup – trends that fashionistas, makeup gurus, and beauty aficionados don't want to see in 2016. I polled some friends, some readers, some random folks in my neighborhood who now think I'm weird, and these were the overwhelming responses. Do I agree? Well, you'll see – and I hope you'll tell me how you feel about them, too.

1. Man Buns

Man Buns A lot of these are in random order, but not this one. Nope. Everyone I talked to mentioned this. They were particularly vehement about their hatred. I get it. I get the hate. Definite fail.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

2. Drop-crotch Pants (still)

Drop-crotch Pants (still) Why are these still here? Why were they a thing in the first place?

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

3. Glitter in Your Hair

Glitter in Your Hair So, I get it, but I'm torn. Although greasy roots are the bane of my existence, glitter is an immortal abomination and I could never use it. However, I think this trend makes for gorgeous Instagram pictures.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

4. Glitter in Your Eyebrows

Glitter in Your Eyebrows Same – although it's tempting to try, just given my obsession with my eyebrows.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!

5. Glitter in Your Armpits

Glitter in Your Armpits Same. I don't blink an eye at pit hair on anyone, to be honest, and I don't know, glitter makes it look pretty magical.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

6. Glitter in Your Beard

Glitter in Your Beard I went from loathing beards to loving them overnight, it seems like, and the lumbersexual look with the undercut kind of does it for me. So, sorry, I don't know, I like the beard decorating trend. It's pretty.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

7. Fringe for Days

Fringe for Days I'm not a huge fan of fringe in the first place, so I can dig this complaint – that fringe is just going a little too far.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

8. Front Thongs (ouch)

Front Thongs (ouch) Or frongs. Seriously, ouch.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

9. Off-shoulder Straitjackets

Off-shoulder Straitjackets Off-the-shoulder tops are adorable. Not being able to move your arms is not adorable.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

10. Bubble Nails

Bubble Nails I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I know it must take time, patience, and skill to do these, but I just … every time I look at them, I always just see nail fungus

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

11. Also, Extreme 3D Nail Art

Also, Extreme 3D Nail Art See, though, I can get behind 3D nail art. Maybe just not quite so 3D. You don't want to walk around getting your nails snagged on crap all the time.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

12. Overlining Your Lips

Overlining Your Lips I don't know, I disagree with this one to a point. I don't like makeup shaming much, for one thing, but for another, overlining can and often does look really, really good. When it's overdone, though … yeah, I can see that.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

13. Eyebrow Shading

Eyebrow Shading I want everyone's opinion on this. Do you like it? Does anyone really do their eyebrows like this in real life? Because I've been knocking myself out trying to copy this look thinking that it's how Eyebrows Should Look, and I will be so happy if it's not true.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

14. Crazy Contouring

Crazy Contouring Again, I don't like makeup shaming. I think this comes more from people who don't do it, or don't know how to do it, or don't want to do it – which is fine also. But hell, if you like contouring – even clown contouring or strobing or whatever you crazy talented makeup artists are doing these days – go for it.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

15. Laces, Laces Everywhere

Laces, Laces Everywhere Yeeeah. I get it.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

16. Grey Hair

Grey Hair This makes me sad, actually. I confess I like the grey/silver/lavender trend enough that I've been considering it. Might as well embrace the damn grey.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

17. Mom Jeans

Mom Jeans I actually don't care if you wear mom jeans. I do find it funny, however, that when moms were wearing them, they were lame, then someone discovered they look good with crop tops or something, and suddenly they became a trend.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

18. Infinite Fur

Infinite Fur Or infinite faux fur, whatever. I still get it. Fur doesn't need to be in every place.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

19. Waist Training

This just looks like it would be so painful, especially over a long period of time.

So, what do you think? Were these fashion failures or were they wins?

    I thought I'd die laughing at the extreme nails! Most of this stuff is seriously grade school or junior high. Especially glitter!
