10 fashion trends that are so last season, and should stay there for ever

Out of style, out of mind

1 Overalls 

Originally worn by railroaders and miners, they became a high-fashion staple in the regrettable ’80s. They’re unflattering even on a perfect mannequin. It is difficult to find the right onesie for any body type. And they’re a nightmare when one has to pee. It’s just a lot of work. Even Rihanna stopped wearing them once she had her baby.

2 See-through Plastic Heels

So porno. So tacky. Another failure from the 2010s. Rihanna has worn ones by the Off-White x Jimmy Choo collab. The Kardashian-Jenner clan loves this style. It just makes feet sweaty and triggers blisters. Closed-or-open-toed, the lack of breathability is reason enough to avoid them.

3 Faux-leather Pants

Skinny pants are a disaster. Faux leather makes it worse. They don’t stay up. They are not stretchy or durable. Kate Moss wore them in the ’90s. Jennifer Lopez and Dua Lipa followed in the 2010s. No one knows how they got them off.

4 Crop Tops
