Trends I'm Tired of Seeing
Snap Backs
'
Death to the easily influenced, lack of innovation, saturated, repetitive, clone thrown trends. Lately it seems like everybody's "style", if you would even call it that, is a general consciences of sameness. Human nature has always caused us to be influenced by media and music figures but now it's gotten out of control. Every time a new artist or socialite emerges people can't wait to become more of someone else and less of themselves. Social Media sites like Facebook and twitter contribute in large part with users constantly tweeting what they think is acceptable and popular in culture, allowing those who wouldn't normally be exposed or worried about trends to hop on the bandwagon. The most unfortunate part is some of the most timeless brands have become visible and the knockoffs and excess to own this high-end merchandise is making companies who have thrived for years through having timeless appeal seem so basic.One thing I find interesting is that males are at the forefront of immolating stars. I've compiled a list of Trends that are starting to make my eyes bleed from over exposure or the fact that people actually think they can pull these off. Here is a list of 6 trends I'm tired of seeing.
Snap Backs
A few years ago you could only find a handful of people displaying this retro entity most likely as a thrift store find, which is a gold mind for those truly into fashion, but since the growth in popularity of rappers like Big Sean who is hardly ever seen without a snap back on, the masses have been snatching up these hats like it's the last thing they'll ever wear. Yikes, Lets hope not.
Rihanna Red
'First she had everyone getting asymmetrical bobs which was a common style. But when Rihanna dyed her hair red it took about six months for the trend to grow on me. I'm not sure why every other female out their thinks this is a good look for them, yet everyday I see a new photo of a peer who dyed their hair "Rihanna Red" the color is too BRIGHT for those living a normal everyday life. So unless you're about to become an entertainer I'm sure your future employers will see this as ghetto not edgy.
Camouflage Cargo Shorts
Camouflage has always been integrated into fashion it's a type of print within itself really. But how many times or people am I going to see with Camouflage cargo shorts? The most annoying part about this trend is the specificity of it. It's like if red and white striped linen shorts were to become popular, the same color, article of clothing, and style. I've seen more camouflage this summer than when I use to live on a military base. Please let this trend die because not only is everybody wearing it but it just ends up looking like this is the only pair of shorts in your closet.
Ray bans
Ray Bans have been popular since the 1950's with everyone from Jackie'O to Micheal Jackson wearing the shades. But after artist like Drake and Jay-Z started making the Wayfarer design their staple those who never took an interest in the brand are rocking them as a complement to their snap backs smh
Bleach Blonde
This trend really shows that twitter isn't the only place people are followers. Although I only have guys pictured females are apart of this color craze as well, in fact Amber Rose has girls cutting all their hair off AND dying it. I didn't she was someone to be imitating. These hairstyle trends are the worst because once they are over you'll either be forced into damaged ends or be rocking an outdated color.
Christian Loubountin Shoes
This is by far the most annoying trend of them all. The people who don't know the Artistically motivated designer whose shoes have been worn internationally for the past twenty years have now resulted to calling Christian Louboutin shoes "Red Bottoms" adding insult to injury annoying Facebook adds with imitations of the shoe are adding to it's depreciation. Louboutins shoes run for between $650-$3000 and sometimes higher so if you're walking around in the ones you paid $150 for they are probably fake. Leave the styles you know you can't afford to the stars, and if you can afford them but are taking a break due to the trend. Giuseppe heels are always a lovely alternative.
