When we look back at pictures from earlier decades, we get a chuckle out of the outdated fashion trends. But before too long, the joke’s going to be on us. Like it or not, stuff that’s popular now is going to seem completely ridiculous to future generations.
With each new decade comes new bad fashion. Let’s take a look back at the worst trends of the last 10 years.
Top 5 Worst Trends of the 2000s
5. Wearing Pajamas in Public: Think back to elementary school when you had a week full of wacky days when you could put your clothes on backwards, wear crazy hats, and of course, wear your pajamas to school. Unfortunately, in recent years, Pajama Day has lost its impact considering it’s not so wacky to wear pajamas out in public anymore. I hope future generations will realize that it is and restore the sanctity of Pajama Day.
4. Guys in Girls’ Pants: It used to be that girls would wear their boyfriends’ letterman jacket, but apparently these days guys are wearing their girlfriends’ jeans. For the future virility of these men, I hope this trend is one soon forgotten.
3. UGG boots with Booty Shorts: This walking contradiction is sure to muster wise cracks from just about any generation. Quite frankly, if it’s warm enough to be wearing little shorts, then it is most definitely too warm to be wearing boots with fur. Unless you want to relate with how Sasquatch feels on a hot summer day from the calves down, then there really is no use for this combination.
2. Leggings as Pants: History teachers always stress the importance of learning about history because it is destined to repeat itself. Well, I guess that goes for fashion too seeing as how we felt the need to bring leggings back from the 80s. So much for learning from mistakes. At least back then they wore them with skirts or under leotards to do aerobics. FYI 21st Century: Leggings are tights. NOT pants.
1. Crocs: If there’s one thing that makes me embarrassed to be a part of this generation, it’s the monstrosity that is Crocs. The biggest defense for Crocs is that “they are comfortable.” I’m pretty sure that wrapping your feet in cotton balls and bubble wrap would be comfortable, too. I wonder why we don’t see more people doing that … oh wait, because it would look absolutely ridiculous. Besides, they are made of plastic. Since when has wearing anything made of plastic ever been comfortable?
Bonus Bad Fashion Trend
Popped Collars
Nothing says “Hey I’m a douche bag” like a popped collar.
There is nothing more idiotic than a popped collar…no I take that back. The only thing more idiotic than a popped collar is wearing multiple polo shirts at once and have more than one popped collar. Luckily, this trend seems to be dying out.
dude yes, those were some bad trends of the decade no doubt. i will never understand the leggins as pants thing.. ever. the only way you can get away with that i think is if you are in like yoga or something, or like working out. otherwise, not cute. especially if you have way too much junk in the trunk and everyone can see it.
I think the first guy is wearing my pants. I own the exact same pair and couldnt seem to find them last week. Plus I am constantly having the leggings are not pants arguement. I have no desire to see peoples front and back junk on display.
