Disclaimer: Let me start by saying that I don't mean in any way, to offend anyone with this list. As a matter of fact, I do own every single thing on this list and these are just mandatory suggestions... haha, of things that *in my opinion* should not exist in 2020 and beyond.
1) Cold Shoulder Tops: I'm not exactly mad at this one and I think I still have a couple in my closet. I'm still gonna wear them but I just think they're on the way out. If you love them, who the hell cares? You do you, sis! It's just not what it used to be in the past and it has become so basic and sorta boring. If you're someone who likes to be on the cutting edge of fashion, you might want to retire these. They were definitely a statement in 2016 but this is 2020, I think we should all move on.
2) Fur Coats: This probably was the reigning thing back in the day. It was trending and everyone wanted to have their own share of the cake. However, I think we're all moving in a direction from fur and becoming more conscious of our actions. Because if you think about it, you’re literally wearing a carcass. I have a fur coat but I no longer wear it, it kinda grosses me out and I think they’re a lot of people these days who are becoming more aware. Although certain weather conditions might tempt you to wear those, it's still not worth it. When I went to New York, I saw literally everyone covered in fur from head to toe but now as a generation, we’re beginning to wake up and see the need to let go of things like that. Gucci actually made a statement last year that they were going to stop producing with fur… Thank God!
3) Boyfriend Jeans: We’ve seen a huge evolution of denim. Boyfriend jeans were introduced many years ago and they have traveled from season to season but I think they're done. We’ve had such an evolution that people are now wearing weird, ugly, high-waisted, long bum jeans which are now extremely over the top. The latest version of the boyfriend jean trend first arrived over six years ago, a baggy alternative to the universal skinny jeans. Some people believe that it implied that women should only wear baggy clothes after they have secured boyfriends.
4) Round Toe Ankle Boots: I still have my own round toe ankle boots, I love them and they’re staying with me because I think this particular trend will eventually resurrect. But, for now, it has to die... period*. There are so many different types of ankle boots, some of which are still in style. So my brothers and sisters, please let's pause on these.
5) Overly Tight Puffers: There’s a lot of subtle masculinity in women’s clothing, especially in street style. And sadly, not everyone rocks street style, it’s as simple as that. This style is seriously outdated and I'm pretty sure manufacturers even know that because the puffer jackets are now made really oversized, and this is better in my opinion. Tight and super-tailored clothing is just not the vibe anymore. This includes tops, jean jackets, and the likes. I think we can all agree that baggy clothing is the new swag... (Stuff We All Get)
6) Jeggings: Who invented jeggings? Like seriously, who? I need to have a serious chat with the person. If you’re over the age of eight years old, I’m sorry, you should not be seen wearing jeggings. Leggings with denim print on them, really? Pants made to look like denim jeans but they are not actually denim and they don’t even look like jeans?... Smh is all I can say. If you’re wearing jeggings in 2020, I’m indeed sorry for you... like really sorry.
7) Excessive Highlighting/Contouring: This is a makeup trend, but I just had to include it on this list. I know we all see those youtube tutorial videos on contouring, but believe me, less is more. Repeat after me and say it louder for the people in the back, “less is more”. Imagine going out in the night and seeing someone with an insane streak of highlight. You don’t want to blind people with your highlighter, it hurts. It honestly hurts people’s eyes.
8) Wedge Boots: This particular trend has actually had its own fair share of existence and I just think its high time we let it go. Some of them are actually vintage and very eye-catching but others are not just what they used to be before. Imagine wearing this with jeggings... lmao. The problem with this is that only very few outfits can really make a statement with wedge boots so it's better to just avoid this as much as possible.
9) Furry Mule: If you ask me, this was never a thing. It was never fashionable. When I see someone in a furry mule, I think they’re transitioning into a wolf, to be honest. Which is fine, if that’s what you’re aiming for. But in terms of fashion, it’s a no for me. It’s literally a mule, with fur sticking out of it. Let me tell you what happened, Gucci made several of these and sent them to 100,000 influencers on Instagram and told them to take pictures of them in it... blah blah blah, and that's what tricked you into thinking they’re cool. And the fact that they were Gucci... Duh. Gucci could literally pluck feathers, put their trademark logo on it and sell it for thousands of dollars. And, my brothers and sisters, that was how the trend started.
10) Conductor/Paperboy/ Engineer Hats: Whatever you call these, I am not even sad about this one because I hate them. I’ve never been a huge hat fan because I don’t think they fit me. I definitely feel like these are on their way out and there’s nothing more to say about this one. For a fact, the last time I saw one of these before now was in like 2009 or so but recently I've started seeing people wear them. If you have any of these... just let it go.
Alrighty, guys! You made it to the end. I really hope you understand that nothing about this list is personal and you didn't take it too seriously. You really don't have to be offended... please don't :) I said it before and I will say it again, If you love these trends, wear them. You shouldn't really care, it's just fashion.
