Trends you just won't do/haven't done
Permalink Closed

So recently, what are some trends that you just didn't do?  Mine are the following:


 


-Bubble skirts


-Ankle boots


-Ugg boots


-Long bermuda shorts


-Gauchos


-Schrugs


I think I may need to branch out though...this is a long list!

they look great on other people, but bubble skirts, leggings, and scrunchy skinny jeans don't feel right on me.

travelgirl, you've pretty much covered me too!

i'll add though:

- blousy (or "volume" as Lucky calls it) on top

- leggings

- over, over, oversized bags. The ones I see on some of the celebs are ridiculous IMO.

Plus, I am awaiting the death (or at least diminishment) of the superfull / circle skirts. They are *too* full for me in most cases, and too low on the leg. I love a classic A-line but have barely been able to find any in the last couple of years!

Ah, there are so many trends I don't do, I usually limit my trends to cheap accessories.


Currently, I'm not a big fan of the long sweaters and leggings.  I think the look is cute on a lot of people, but it is too much of a 7th grade in 1986 flashback for me.  I'm with travelgirl on gauchos and bermudas (well, shorts of any type really).  I'm not a fan at all.

I have passed on -



  • Skinny jeans (straight up and tucked into boots)

  • Leggings (aww heeeeeelllll no!)

  • Gauchos

  • Mini dresses

  • Trapeze dresses

All of those things just look terrible on me!

Leggings ( I wont go there)

Super skinny jeans

Trapeze dresses ( I look pregnant!)

Uggs ( I may live in Ca , and it may be cool to wear them here if your nichole richie but I personally am not embracing that look)

Short shorts (like the johnson ones that were so popular this year )

I think that about sums it up!

I agree with everyone here 100%... no skinny jeans!  no leggings!  And also no tights.... I hate wearing panty hose, and I don't have time to hand-wash stuff.  And no "blousy" tops... I just feel sloppy in them.


I haven't bought a single on-trend thing in months, because I just don't like most of what I see.

I don't do a lot of trendy stuff. I basically stay away from anything that *everyone* else is wearing, you know? The only thing I can think of that I plan on embracing this year is jeans tucked into boots. I try to keep my style as classic as possible, mostly so I can pull out a much-loved piece next year and be able to keep wearing it without looking like I'm trapped in a previous time! I also don't like trendy things because I don't want to seem like my personality is easily swayed with the times. I know I'm probably thinking too deeply about this, but still.

Everything on your list is pretty much on mine.

Oh, and I never wear shorts. I can only think of three pairs of shorts I've owned in my life. I don't know what it is. I don't dislike my legs or anything, but for some reason I'm really uncomfortable in shorts.

Bubble skirts have been a no no for me even though I love them on other girls.

I have one full skirt and I love it, even though I know it's not the most flattering style for me. But I do love opaque tights! And I really like ankle boots, so I think I might get a pair at some point. Although I would only wear them with pants, so you couldn't tell I'm wearing ones, anyway.


Any other trends mentioned above - no way!

Everything mentioned in this thread is on my no-no list, except for tights, skinny jeans (tucked into boots), and full skirts.  When I do trendy, I prefer to do it with my shoes.

ditto to all of this. And I love full skirts, but my legs end up looking like two little sticks hanging out on the bottom.

So far I've been able to resist: leggings, uggs, gauchos, vera bradley, and crocs.

I'm totally an offender when it comes to leggings and long sweaters and bermuda shorts and skinny jeans, but even I have to draw the line somewhere! Here's where my line gets drawn:

-Short shorts

-Super crazy oversized bags and sunglasses

-Logo-mania

-Uggs

-Enormous platforms

-Scrunched up skinny jeans

Leggings, and tunic-cut sweater dresses (separate and together). Leggings I am just sick to death of seeing on everyone and I think they are almost never flattering. Sweater dresses I don't really mind, it's just that to me the look is SO specific, SO fall 2006, that I could never adapt it in my own way--I feel like it always just looks like a shopbop "fall look book" photo.


A lot of the other recent trends, though, I've been experimenting with, like the blousy/slouchy looks and the bubble skirts and the skinny jeans. I didn't like all those looks when they first came out, but I came around in a big way.

I like the skinny jean/trouser look, but the ones I like are so expensive that I can't really justify them!  So, I've opted out of this one.


I'm not too into leggings - but I really like tights. 


For some reason, I'm unable to walk in wedge heels without looking like a weeble - so I can't really do any wedge trends :).


I like fall though - because cashmere never goes out of style and I am a devoted collector.


Generally, I just tend to buy what I like - regardless of trends.  I am totally loving blousy tops - as long as I wear a belt or sash!

skinny jeans - I like the jeans tucked in boots look, but I think I'm too short to pull it off


leggings - I've seen people my age (28) pull it off, but I think they'd make me look like I was trying to look young. 


gigantic eat-my-face sunglasses


crocs! I see them *everywhere*!
