Worst Spring Fashion Trends
There are some distressing looking fashion trends coming our way for Spring. Many of them are bad ideas simply because they are not that functional. Many trends that are coming up are also downright ugly as well.
For instance you might remember that shiny taupe pantyhose from about twenty years ago. It’s back. The problem? This type of pantyhose makes your legs look like fat gleaming sausages. Anything with that much gleam makes your legs look huge (unless you are an anorexic model.) The trend towards flesh colored shades is back. The deep purple and red shades that were around for a while are staying away from the runways but you do see an occasional shiny gold or silver pair. The other thing that was wrong with this is that the tights were very hot because they were so thickly woven.
One weird trend that is dominating this winter is the padded skirt. This looks like you are wearing a sleeping bag. What’s next? A skirt made out of pillows?
There is another trend to pad up the knees and elbow pads of clothing. It makes it look like sportswear. Donna Karan is an example of a designer who is doing this in the Spring.
It is also fashionable to wear off the shoulder blouses and dresses that have tons of ruffles. The blouses are particularly hideous. They look like half of a bridesmaid outfit. The ones that have the ruffle around the neck make you look like a bit of a circus clown.
Yet another strange trend that is coming back is acid washed denim. This is a throwback to the past that is extremely popular with the younger set. It makes your jeans look like they have the measles. Yet another problem is that these jeans are a lot weaker fiber wise than other jeans and wear out easier.
Remember those flat Chinese slippers that Diane Keaton used to wear in those old movies. They are back and although they seem to be comfortable they are actually quite hard on your feet because they have no arches or structure. They are a real throwback to the early days of Madonna’s career when you would see her slipping around on the dance floor in them.
Speaking of orthopedic shoes some models that are on the runways are really quite ugly. They almost look like that old Roots Earth show with the heel that was lower than the front of the foot.
