Fashion Overload: 7 Trends We’re Ready To Retire

Posted by , on May 30, 2012 at 9:45 am

Been there, done that. Pleated skirts are definitely played out.

 

While neon accents are still tolerable, full neon looks have become a little too hard on the eye.

 

We've totally been brainwashed into our obsession with all things tribal. Though turquoise jewelry and Indian-inspired bracelets are timeless, tribal patterns for clothing are so yesterday.

 

Color blocking has gotten too easy. Don't be a cop-out! Throw pattern into an outfit to avoid boredom.

 
Floral pieces definitely excite spring looks. However, the clashing and juxtaposing patterns seen on many fashion bloggers today gives us a headache. 
Multi-finger rings sparked a huge interest among jewelry fanatics but they now seem to have lost their luster. Instead choose bright, cocktail rings to accent an outfit.  
Jazz shoe inspired lace ups have had their moment in the limelight. Flatter your masculine side and wear wing tips or brogues instead. 

Look, we’re all victim to the latest trends (even if they’re a stretch for our personal style). Rewind to last February when spring fashion hit the racks, we were at first completely stoked to see similar looks to what we salivated over during fashion week. But then alas, we started becoming way too used to seeing the same look over and over again (what’s the problem with thinking outside of the box once in a while?)

I confess, even I’m totally guilty. The pink floral jeans I claimed a necessity in March aren’t even an option to wear in this 80+ degree temperatures. My red velvet lace up jazz shoes have been relocated to my storage unit and not just because they left horrific blisters on my ankles. I’ve found to avoid such catastrophes I’ve started to incorporate some of the season’s fads in a more demure way that is totally simpler — and way more economical.

With the dreadful task of closet cleaning upon us, we have compiled a thorough list of trends we simple cannot stand to see any longer. Click through our list in the gallery above of looks we’ll be happy to retire.

    Re image #5:  Jackson Pollock called, he wants his paint splatters back. 

  3. lol this is why people have an issue with Tribal Prints being a trend in the first place. At some point it would be labeled played out. I remember when they first started using prints from actual cultures, and then there was a semi backlash to those who felt like cultural prints shouldn’t be a trend. 

    Personally i think if you still rock any of this it’s your business, and forget the rules, if you look good in it, and you still love it, rock it. But most of these “trends” are yearly things that come and go every few years. Florals are always gonna happen in the summer, cocktail rings where just on the list of being played out lol it all recycles it’s self ya know.
