7 Spring Trends That Men Hate but You Should Rock Anyway ...

Cassandra

As a style maven, I couldn't have been more surprised when I recently overheard a few guys discussing fashion trends that they saw as total deal breakers. Needless to say, my interest was piqued. As an experiment, I asked seven guys about the "biggest style mistakes" they think women make. More than anything, this list will prove why you shouldn't care what other people think and just wear whatever you want!

Sometimes, Crop Tops Look Really Uncomfortable

clothing,footwear,fashion,leg,photo shoot, Even though crop tops are all of the rage, they're apparently not a hit with everyone. Jeremy, 24, stressed that "I don't really get what's the purpose behind those cut off shirts. They just look uncomfortable to me."

I couldn't disagree more with this statement. As much as I hate to admit it, I sometimes spend hours trying to find the perfect outfit, regardless of where I'm going. That's what makes the crop top look so perfect. It's ridiculously simple to style and gives off a chic (not to mention sexy) vibe. I guess this is one deal breaker I'll definitely be sleeping on.

Apparently, Leggings Are Only for the Gym

clothing,footwear,outerwear,tights,fashion, Here's where things get a little interesting. When I asked Kyle, 30, what trend he wasn't a fan of, he immediately answered "Leggings! Or yoga pants. Just no. If you're not going to the gym, don't wear them."

I don't care what anyone says. If I find a pair of leggings or yoga pants that I feel comfortable both working out in and relaxing in my house, I'm wearing them. End of story! I'll never understand why leggings have gotten such a bad rep.

3

Wedge Sneakers Are NOT Very Functional

color,clothing,footwear,fashion,spring, When it comes to edgy wedge sneakers, James, 21, is not a fan. "They seem really counterproductive. Why would you want a heel in your sneakers? Plus, they look like they hurt."

I'm definitely giving this one some major side eye. Don't let their looks fool you. Wedge sneakers are super comfortable and functional. I can't be the only one who thinks wedges are hot!

Say Goodbye to Dark, Smokey Eyeliner

cap,clothing,black,knit cap,hat, Sean, 18, says thats he can do without eyeliner. "Sometimes, it looks mysterious. But more often than not, It's too much. I like the au naturale look."

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with this one! Smokey eye will always be en vogue. The crazy thing is that women who don't wear makeup get just as much flak for it as women who do.

Ladies, Those Sexy Shades You Love so Much Are a No Go

hair,clothing,beauty,hairstyle,eyewear, I find it really interesting that a few of the guys I questioned stood by this one. Jared, 19, said "Why are you hiding your face? I want to see you, not guess what you're feeling."

Hold it right there, mister. Not only are sunglasses a unisex style trend, they also serve their purpose. My case in point? If I'm not into strangers on the street who stare at my face, these babies are going on!

High Waisted Shorts Belong in the 80s

clothing,footwear,fashion,outerwear,spring, Some guys just don't understand the power of a good pair of shorts. Adam, 22, stresses that even though he thinks high waisted shorts are totally sexy, they don't really "look all that comfortable, to be honest."

Finally, there's one thing that we can agree on. High waisted shorts ARE sexy. They're also ridiculously flattering for all body types. If you find the right pair, it'll take your style level from beginner to expert.

Most of the Men Think Floppy Hats Are the Worst

I respectfully disagree. This response definitely surprised me. What could be so bad about a hat that is both stylish and functional? I don't know about you but that sounds like a good thing to me!

At the end of the day, you're basically damned if you do, and damned if you don't. The point of my experiment was to show that when it comes to fashion, you have two options. You can either listen to other people's opinions and let them dictate your life OR you can throw all of that out of the window and just do you girl! Did any of your favorite trends make the cut?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I hate all of these trends. Legging are tights and should only be used for the gym or under a piece of clothing. No one wants to see your Knickers, ladies. High waisted shorts make you look like an adolescent. Wedged sneakers are disgusting and trampy. Crops tops, yeah sure, if your into fitness. Floppy hats are terrible.

i hate those hates too

You asked a FEW guys about their opinions and their PERSONAL opinions upset you? I have never met a guy who said ew to yoga pants. And most guys here were saying they looked uncomfortable not that women should never wear the article of clothing. This are just the opinions of a small amount of men. This does sound kind of mega feminist. I could go on and on about what I don't like guys wearing too, everyone has an opinion. Wear what you want

WTF?! sunglasses really? Lmfao sunglasses exist to protect your eyes from damage from the sun,but god forbid looking protecting our eyes to look appealing to the opposite gender..fs

Butt hurt lmao

Sunglasses exist to protect our eyes from the sun,plus their a chic accessory,who cares what Jared has to say lol

High waisted will always be Mom jeans. No thanks.

How about doing what we ladies hate about men's dressing ? I don't like to see young men strutting about with skintight pants that reveal their crotch bulges,huge aviator sunglasses pink socks and hoodies that conceal their faces etc. ! So what ? We are all individuals so let's just be ourselves and let anyone avert their eyes if they don't like someone else's choice of clothes.

@Tiffany Me too!I love yoga pants

Sunglasses? Really? Does this guy not understand that they are meant to protect the eyes from sun damage? I can understand not wearing them indoors or when it is dark or cloudy, but come on...as far as leggings I am guilty of that, however I make sure they are opaque or I'm wearing a shirt long enough to cover my bottom. And I own one crop top but I have been busting my butt to get in shape so I want to show off a little. I have learned to dress for me and if it attracts guys, so be it. I more care whether it suits the weather, the occasion, and my age and body type, than suiting the personal opinion of others.
