Fashion Don'ts: Five Over-Extended Trends That Need To End Now

There are some fashion trends that catch on like wildfire. The popularity of an item gets duplicated all the way to the nearest beauty supply store and literally everybody and their momma is wearing the latest. That’s one bonafide way to know to let it go. Either comfort or level of cuteness we feel we impart when we wear a particular trend blinds us from letting it take its natural course—and die out. A good factor about trends? There are 15 ushered in every few months—move on. Style is about making the latest trend work best for your age, body type, and wearing the added novelty at the right time and place. This is where the real issue comes in: the trend becomes a staple, not secondary—huge faux pas!

Here are my five over-used trends that I wish somebody would take to a bonfire—like now:

Basketball Wives earrings: While I know the basketball wives weren’t the first ladies to rock gammoth-sized earrings, the reality stars somehow made it a must-have item for everyone with lobes. Honestly, I think some are fierce, but every outfit or a grocery run should not include the outrageous baubles.

Belts: I know belts aren’t going anywhere, but at least update the belt. Belts are a fast way to make an outfit look dated if it’s not chic. And if you are using a belt for cinching your waist only—don’t. A belt only brings more attention to an out-of-whack midsection.

Pajamas: This is a style I loathe and I am all for each being their own, but just don’t wear pajamas or pajama-inspired clothing. No one ever does it dressy, always sloppy and inappropriate—always!

Tights As Pants: Not to be confused with skinny pants, tights shouldn’t replace pants. I know there are some pretty cool tights out now, but make sure your rump is covered. Tights should be accompanied with a skirt, a long shirt, a dress…something else besides your bare bottom.

Sheer clothing: I just don’t understand sheer clothing without proper undergarment. Besides bad taste, no one wants to see your goods. Sheer clothing can be sexy, but real sexiness is keeping the imagination elevated—layer up!

I’m no prude, but some of these trends must die and sometimes friends won’t tell their friends when it’s time to let it go or when a look is too risqué or just in bad taste. Rocking trends is all about making the fad work for you.

What did I leave off the list?

A stylists knows that accessories is what pulls a look together. This post is off the mark. Sorry.

There's a time & place for the earrings (such as the club, party, event, performances, shoots, etc; NOT THE OFFiCE !!)... I disagree with the belt comment. The right sized belt placed at the smallest part of the torso on a not-so-slim tummy actually does give the illusion of a smaller frame.... Nothing wrong with tights as long as you UNDERWEAR/BEHiND isn't showing. Layer them or use spanx so as to avoid revealing your bum or drawers to the world... Sheer clothing worn properly for the right occasion ON THE RiGHT FRAME is ok, too.

I love the BBW earrings still, I guess since they come in varieties. If not them, then what? lol.

Also, as long as these celebs keep rockin them, they aint going NE where. :)

I do agree with these girls need to cover the ass up.....you will still look thick either way!

These heeless wedges haven't been out too long and are already in overkill. Summer hasn't even started yet and they are bout on the verge to be retired.

I love big earrings so that can stay but everything else can go!!!

I am so glad you said this.  Although I love the BBW earrings people have definitely wore them out.  And for the tights as pants...people really need to sit down somewhere and cover the backside please..LOL.  You made some awesome points.  I always love to read your blogs:)

I am SOOOOOOOOO glad someone finally put it out there! Yes the BBW earrings need to be put to rest (that's why I no longer make them even if upon request) I was never a fan of sheer and as far as tights ummmm yes cover that behind because although some women dont need to wear it AT ALL they are confident in their look to think they can so the least they could do is cover up the backside. It's time for some new styles. REALLY

For me, it would be all the girls with half of their head shaved.  It was cute for a little while but it's really getting played out.  The sheer clothing thing is being a little overdone also.

LOL  I agree.  SMH.  I can remember when I used to see girls walking in the street with the pj's on.  All I would think was......what makes that cute???  All the rave over the BBW earrings was overrated and the sheer clothing simply leaves nothing for the imagination to the opposite sex and screams self-disrespect.  I'd have to say the same about the leggings that are now worn like pant.  That's JMO.
