There are so many trends now and most of them are so bad and are doing absolutely nothing for you accept making you look bad. This article will not only be about which trends to stay away from but why you should stay away from them in the first place. However, before I get into which trends you need to stay away from let me first explain something about the current trends and trends in general. Trends do not account for fit, body type, personal taste, current economic status, color analysis and professionalism. So many people are wearing the trends now only because it is a general reflection of who they are. Which is lazy and now I know I'll offend some people with this but it's the truth. The current trend is to look sloppy and lazy and since there is no effort in that look people have fallen for this trend. Just look around you or take a hard look in the mirror. You've accepted this trend because you are lazy and have subconsciously given up on life and so has the world of fashion. The world of fashion has given into the lazy and sloppy population.
While not all current trends are bad, however, most of them are, trends simply don't work. As I stated in my previous article, they confuse people and people become overwhelmed. Not only that, but trends are also for people that have no personal style and will move on to the next current thing regardless of if it looks good or not. That is why having a personal style is so important because you stay true to yourself regardless of what is popular. For more details check out my previous article below.
Now for the unpleasant but needed segment of this article, which trends to stay far away from and don't even bother giving them a second thought.
The Rolled Out of Bed Look
Now the rolled out of bed look could be anything and that is point it is just literally anything. From giant t-shirts, to oversized sweats and shorts, dirty sneakers, undone hair, and the look of filth and I can keep going but you get the picture. This look needs to stop it should have never taken off the way it has but it did and if this describes you then just stop. Your appearance is a general reflection of who you are and if your appearance is off putting chances are many people will think your attitude is off putting and will steer clear from you before getting to know you. Although from personal experience the off-putting appearance and the off-putting attitude go hand in hand. That is why the age old saying stands true always, "You look better, you feel better". I believe it was Audrey Hepburn that once said, "Happiest girls are the prettiest girls" and she was right.
Big Dirty Sneakers with Every Outfit
I can't believe this style came back but here we are. Leave those sneakers for working out or back in the 90's and pick up some professional shoes and better-looking sneakers. Let me dissect this look by stating sneakers are not professional and do not belong in a work environment unless it's necessary. However, if you're not doing labor work and you're working in a professional environment then know that sneakers are not professional by any means and this kind of thinking has really led to people having no respect for their work environment. What has happened to women that we can't even bother to wear flats? It's bad enough that many women don't know how-to walk-in heels but flats too. Have we become so lazy that we can't even bother to wear flats? Come on women we can do better than this a lot better. When you're not working out or enjoying an outdoor adventure then put some flats on and occasionally, heels. Check out my previous article on shoes for the non-shoe lover. This article will give pointers on which heels to own even if you don't love heels but recognize that they are needed. The link is below.
There are also better sneakers to pick from that are clean and don't look outdated. Most of the sneakers that trendy look outdated and should never come back.
Messy Hair
Once again, I can't believe I have to include this but here we go, DO YOUR HAIR! How and why are people leaving their homes without doing their hair? There are so many videos out there and I know people watch them they have millions of views and people can't put their phones down anymore so might as well use it for some good and learn how to do a simple hairstyle. It's not that hard this laziness has gone too far. One of the simplest ways to look more expensive on any budget is to have your hair done. It doesn't really matter if it took you five minutes or twenty your hair can make or break your entire look. I see women going to work and it looks like a brush hasn't gone through her hair in ages and that's sad. I've seen women going to nice restaurants and not even do their hair. People don't have a problem spending so much money on food, but they can't spend some money on products to help them do their hair. It's ridiculous that people can no longer be bothered to put an effort into their appearance but will spend so much money on the latest technology and becoming zombies in the process.
Baggy Pants/ Shapeless Pants
It shouldn't matter what the trends are if it doesn't fit and do something for your body then don't spend your money on it. These pants that have become so trending and are a disaster. They do not account for body shapes. There are pants out there that suit certain body types and there are pants for every body type, but these pants aren't it. It doesn't matter if you're skinny, fat, in between, or fit the baggy pants or the mom pants don't do anything for any body shape and makes your behind look 10 miles long. One of the reasons that trends don't work is because they do not account for body types and that is very important. Why would you want a closet full of clothes in which you don't do anything for your body, you don't look, and you don't feel good? It doesn't make sense.
Workout Clothes Just to Go Out in But You're Not Working Out
Over the years this look has become more and more common but recently it has become even more common in the workplace. That is extremely unprofessional and it is not a good representation of the environment you're working in. Leave the workout clothes for when you're working out or doing an adventurous activity but don't wear it because it's "comfortable". Can you honestly say you feel good in the clothes you're wearing because "they're comfortable" or because it's giving you a chance to hide the areas of your body you don't like and therefore giving you a reason to give up? You only have one life and one body you need to take care of it. I'm not writing this to be mean I know it sounds mean, but we've been cuddled for too long now everything sounds even people trying to help you sound mean. The truth can hurt but it can also help you.
God has given you another day of life glorify him by getting up, do your hair, and get dressed. Put on your best for him and you don't have to be vain, drain your bank accounts, and spend hours getting ready. All you need is thirty minutes a day to do your hair, minimal make up look, and get dressed.
