Fashionistas Share The Clothing Trends They Can't Stand

I recently learned that skinny jeans are no longer cool.

I know what you're thinking, when where they EVER?

Well, that's just your opinion, man.

But get this, Generation Z is back to wearing those baggy mom jeans.

I'm sorry... I'm not about that life. Now I'll have to hoard skinny jeans before they disappear from the market entirely.


Now some people wouldn't be caught dead wearing them—opinions are strong and firmly held.

We heard more after Redditor EliBee288 asked the online community:

"What is a recent fashion trend that you can't stand?"

"Nothing but pure waste..."

"Fast fashion as a whole. Nothing but pure waste of resources."

TheNimbrod

Influencers are now advertising fast fashion—shirts that go for $10 a pop and will be trashed after one or two uses.

"Those microscopic luxury bags..."

"Those microscopic luxury bags that can't even fit a phone in them."

chocolair

It's wild!

And they cost $500!!

"Cropped tops..."

"Cropped tops that look like normal length tops in store. Why is it so difficult to find shirts that go past the bellybutton?"

ComplicatedlySimply

Fashion trends go away and then circle back—maybe this can't go on much longer!

"I don't know if this trend..."

"I don't know if this trend is unique to Texas, but cowboy/ranch-hand wannabes is pretty prevalent, and strangely it's usually well off people masquerading them. It's like trying to take pride in hard work you've never done."

Hydra680

Oh dear.

I've heard them referred to as "concrete cowboys."

Quite the trend.

"The TikTok boy..."

"The Tik Tok boy wet mop haircut. And honestly I don’t hate the haircut itself that much, but literally EVERYONE I’ve met with it is an a**hole."

BigMeatyMan

You mean the old skater boy haircut that I used to think was sexy?

Oh dear.

That was years back.

"My mom has to have..."

"My mom has to have the Michael Kors MK logo on almost everything she wears. Eyeglasses, shirt, jacket, pants, boots, purse, phone case (all for the same outfit). She's a walking billboard for MK. Sorry mom, love you but nobody is impressed."

CPOx

Yeahhhh... none of that looks good.

Sorry about your mom.

Ouch.

"I don't know..."

"I don't know if it's gotten beyond NZ, but here a lot of young guys are wearing matching shorts and shirts with fruit prints on them, I see it all the time, it's so bizzare. Pineapple has been especially popular this season."

waikatom8

Fruit patterned clothing is not for me.

"Cut outs..."

"Cut outs in every dress and crops everywhere! Like just let me buy something that covers up all my pudgy belly."

LazerTRex

Why must this be this way?!

"Dried out..."

"Dried out, untrimmed, long beards."

ChickfromtheSticks

Ah yes, the beard pubes... those are definitely a thing.

"It looks ridiculous..."

"Overlining your Cupid's bow. It looks ridiculous, like two blobs of bubble gum stacked on each other."

SquilliamFancySon85

Have these people ever looked at themselves in the mirror?

Just curious!

Yeah... not going to wear any of these.

You know... to avoid judgment.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Gavin Newsom Admits He Has No Idea What A 'Zaddy' Is After Becoming Internet Meme

In the wake of the election, Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has risen to a new level of fame after he was tapped as the "future of the Democratic Party" in the wake of Kamala Harris's loss.

That of course meant it was only a matter of time before all the internet's young people turned him into a meme. And THAT of course meant it was also only a matter of time before he became an object of people's thirst.

We're human, and we all make mistakes. Most of the time, we can apologize, strive to do better, and move on.

But sometimes we make mistakes that leave a much deeper mark, and they can ruin a person's reputation, their future, or even bring down an entire successful business.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
