Here’s a look back at the worst fashion trends of 2014 – let’s hope these don’t come round again!

Bucket Hats

Bucket Hats This was undeniably one of the worst fashion trends of 2014, and, well, ever. Not only do they look very strange, regardless of color or pattern or style, but they don’t suit anyone. Not even the amazingly beautiful can pull off a bucket hat without it looking a little weird. Bucket hats definitely shouldn’t have come back into fashion – this shouldn’t be allowed to happen again!

Crop Tops

Crop Tops We’re blaming celebs for this one. Sure, if you’re working out all the time and you’ve got a washboard stomach to die for, you probably want to show it off. Some crop tops can look nice, if worn well. You don’t just need a great body, though, you need a great outfit. And when shops start selling crop hoodies, it’s gone too far. That’s not to mention all of the really unflattering styles… give them a miss.

Cut out Shoulders

Cut out Shoulders This is a baffling trend, really. Typically, you’ll only opt to wear sleeves if it’s pretty chilly out, and you need the coverage. So why would you choose sleeves with a huge hole at the shoulders?! Not only that, but most tops with a cut out shoulder look more like the seams have split than you’re making a fashion statement. I’m not even sure that it’s possible to get this look right.

Timberlands

Timberlands Timberlands seemed to be everywhere this year, in a true '90s revival. Even Beyonce was snapped rocking a pair! That doesn’t mean you should be, though. That iconic tan shoe might be able to protect your toes from falling building debris, but it’s a bit too construction site for everyday life, and they do tend to make your feet look big. Give the builders back their shoes and let's rock kitten heels, Converse and boots instead.

5

Fluff

Fluff Fluffy things are everywhere this year. I’m not against fluff, by the way. I have some beautiful knee-high boots which are lined with fluff, and oh-so-comfortable to slip on. Fluff lined sandals are a step too far, though – and don’t get me started on t-shirts complete with fur. Not only does it give you a really strange figure, but it looks like you’re mid transformation into a werewolf. Or a bunny rabbit.

Fringing

Fringing Unless you’re furiously dancing to Cotton Eye Joe, you’re fringing should probably be subtle and understated. It looks great along hemlines or sleeves, or even decorating bags and accessories, but it shouldn’t cover every visible inch of your clothing. Aggressive fringing makes it look like you got lost in a charity shop for old-time rodeos. Less is more.

7

Pleather

Pleather Alright, so this will be the most controversial of the worst fashion trends of 2014. We know that pleather leggings can look hot. If you’ve got the right figure, it’s an unbeatable outfit, and it’s warm, too. Get it slightly wrong, though, and it’s a recipe for disaster. They can also be really uncomfortable, and having seen a friends pleather explode at the seams, unpredictable. Save yourself some dignity and opt for something more flattering, unless you’re Kate Moss.

Every year has its moments, but the worst fashion trends of 2014 are something else. We probably should have learnt the first time! Did you spot any horrid trends during 2014? Have you bought something that makes you recoil in horror when you remember it? Let me know what your worst fashion trends are!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Def the worst post ever posted on here. Bucket hats look good on a variety of people, along with timbs, crop tops, fringes , etc. And they're all still in style. I'm sorry but maybe these trends just didn't suit the author's body because I'm still rocking every single one of these trends.

Who are you and why does your opinion carry any weight? Different things work on different people, and while you are entitled to your opinions, I personally don't think you should be a fashion dictator, because you really don't know what your talking about.

This is all fashion that is young, up to date, and was very in/still is. Some people just don't get it haha

Aw I love crop tops. Don't care I'll still wear them 2015

this article is one big pot of party poop

Fluff and Fringing is the only worst trend in some cases but other than that, these are the items you'd see in my closet. Worst post ever!

Disagreed, these fashion trends aren't for everybody but they aren't fails either

This is by far the worst fashion post I have seen. Especially because of the fact that the author was really bitchy and judgmental about each of the trends mentioned.

fluff is a bad trend but crop tops & timberland? If you like a trend you wouldn't consider it as the worst trend.

I agree with fluff and bucket hats but the rest are amazing trends :/
