Fashion Trends That Should Be Left In 2020
2020. Where do we start with you, 2020? Should we start with the biggest civil rights movement since THE civil rights movement? No, that’s too, as some highly intelligent, civilized, and totally, not at all, can’t possibly be racist folks would put it, “divisive“. Shall we begin with the most intense, high-stakes presidential election since.....well, ever? No. Also too “divisive”. Should we talk about the highly deadly, and badly handled, pandemic that has killed more Americans than combat has U.S soldiers in WWII? Total vibe killer. In all seriousness, 2020 has a truly awful year for an really inordinate amount of people. Nearly all lines of work and forms of culture have taken massive hits as a result of COVID-19, the music, medical, and film industries chief among them. Another field that has suffered a severe loss in capital is fashion. The fashion industry has lost hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue, and countless iconic retailers have been forced to file for bankruptcy and close stores across the world. Also suffering, apparently, is the quality and taste of the trends shoved down our throats. While I wouldn’t call last year a crapshoot in terms of nice trends, I have also seen some of the most perplexing and strangest trends I’ve ever seen in my brief, 20 year existence. The perplexing, strange, and just plain unattractive fashion is what I’m here to talk about, because if we can’t agree that an literal white supremacist shouldn’t ever be allowed a term in the highest office in the world, if we can’t agree that men shouldn’t be pinned to the pavement and smothered to death because of counterfeit $20 bills or dare I say it, because of race/skin color, if we can’t even agree that wearing masks to combat an airborne virus is smart, we can at least laugh at the stupidest, most mind-boggling fashion choices that was born out of this year and agree that NOBODY should ever waste their money on them. Right? Right?

That Was So Yesterday
High Fashion Everyone knows that now in days most trends either start from music artists, celebrities, or influencers. They hold the holy grail for what should, shouldn't, and could be. All it takes is one post with a catchy caption, one verse with a great line, or one outing featuring a hot outfit that catches the eyes of paparazzi to be seen in magazines everywhere; From there the world starts to mirror what now has been deemed as fashionable/trendy.

Bike Short Must Be Banned!
Let’s be clear and direct for cause and effect; because a Kardashian stepped out sporting a shorty fashion doesn’t mean you need to grab the passion. Bike shorts worn for a specific purpose, I get, but to wear them with heels provokes no appeal but instead a disgust I can’t conceal.

Clearly Cool. Top Story - January 2021.
Fashion trends come and go with time but they always seem to come back around again in some shape or form. May it be gogo boots from the 60's or 90's denim. Looking at what's all the rage I feel it's safe to say we're on a 90's-rewind. That wouldn't be so bad if we were digging through our parent's closets and reliving the past but it really isn't so. Faux vintage is what's in and with that comes a price not attached to the top. Looking at other aspects of our "trend landscape" concerns seem to arise. So instead of discussing how dreadful cheetah print is or flared denim, I want to bring your attention to fashion fails we face as a society and what we can do to change them.

Tiger Print and Tie-Dye, My Oh My!
2020 in itself was tantalizing and traumatizing for every single person I know. Nobody came out of 2020 unscathed or unchanged in some way or another. I've decided to leave any *bad energy* behind me and am only looking forward to brighter and bigger things. Ridding myself of 2020 includes purging my closet of items that suddenly leave a bad taste in my mouth since quaratine life began.

The Common Trend-e-nominator
There was a time when wearing masks was fashionable (and don't get me wrong - it still is). In particular, this was (and still is) a thing in modern East Asian culture, specifically amongst the Japanese. Having read a few articles, i discovered that Japanese people wore these masks due to allergies and to prevent spreading their germs to other people - very considerate!

Fashion Trends
Why is this cool? Is it even cool at all? Who made it cool? When will it end? These are my questions. Of all fashion trends and statements of individuality to express through jewelry and other accessories one thing I consider a pet peeve of mine is a sagging pant. Although it is best to admit that I am guilty of not wearing a belt a few times when wearing a pair of my old boyfriend’s jeans, I unfortunately must say it was not as comfortable walking around in the store when shopping having them on. I was constantly concerned with the impression they gave off when crossing paths with elders or having to hold them up whenever I put groceries in the car.

The Return of the Smize
We often hear a smile is the prettiest thing you can wear. That advice is now irrelevant when half your face is covered. In 2020, masks became a fashion statement and a political one. Once thought of as part of a surgeon's uniform, now the most noticeable style accessory to show off your personality or activism.

Let Us Lay Tie-Dye To Rest. Second Place in So 2020 Challenge.
Reminiscent of summer camps and sleepovers, (or for those more experienced in life and lettuce, the ultimate summer sleepover of ‘69,) tie-dye has worked its way from the kid’s craft aisle at Walmart, to beaching with Beyonce, all the way up to headlining Christian Dior’s Spring 2020 collection “Quarantine Fashion.” This, of course, being foolishly caused by the cabin fever plaguing every citizen this past year.

Face Fashion...yeah that's a thing
What can I say, the year had its fair share of ups and downs, and with the growing concerns of the pandemic, the public was left alone with online shopping and time to spend their savings. 2020 introduces us to the things that regrettably became “trendy”, one thing that stood out the most it stepped into my life and took control.

One Shade of Wrong
It turns out that our phone screens were not the only ones glowing in 2020. A new trend emerged last year, challenging the integrity of fashion designers: the highlighter trend. Along with the arrival of more daylight in Spring time, came fashionistas who decided to take their revenge on the dark, lonely and attenion-less year they had experienced thus far. This revenge came in the shape of head to toe neon clothing. From neon shoes, coats, jumpsuits and dresses to handbags, nails and even hair extensions. Inspired by the chemincal eliment, glow sticks and car-park marshalls; these trend setters were beginning to look on the bright side of life and expressed it in their clothing.
