11 Fashion Trends That Aren’t Worth Your Money

These fashion trends aren’t so much trends as they are fads. These looks might get you a few likes on Instagram and be taking over headlines for a short amount of time, but after their appeal dwindles, you’ll be left with an outdated look that won’t last through multiple seasons. Then again, trends are cyclical, so maybe just put these looks on the back burner.

1. Anything by fast fashion brands

The queen of fads is fast fashion. People throw their money at low quality items from brands with an arsenal of IG marketing. It might be tempting to buy that cute Fashionova two-piece look for just $30, but the environmental consequences (along with the sketchy wages and sweatshop environments the clothes are produced in) make fast fashion a no-go for us.

2. Muppet fuzzy coats

Faux fur jackets will never be out of fashion, but those super colorful muppet jackets are looking a bit comical for the coming season. Instead, you can look back to vintage inspired sheepskin looks integrated with denim textures, or fur accents in collars versus all over shag.

3. 90s chokers

A lot of styles from the 1990s have been making a comeback. And while chokers had a cute return, it’s time that they go back into your jewelry box for now. Instead, try a classic thin chain or some chunky statement earrings with silver or gold detail.

4. Microbags

We’re not really sure why this trend started. It basically looks as though you’re carrying around a doll’s bag. They can’t fit tampons, meds, keys, makeup, or even a few tissues, so honestly what’s the point of this accessory? Just wear a chic belt and pair it with a bag that can actually hold things!
