Current Fashion Trends That Need to Die Already
When it comes to fashion, nothing is a sure thing. Fashion trends come and go, but some fashion trends stay a little longer than needed.
1. The sneaker wedge: This trend started in 2012 and unfortunately still is around to this day. Almost every high street brand spawned their own knockoff version of this shoe. Although this shoe was extremely popular when it first came out, it’s time to let this trend fizzle out.
2. Dad sneakers: Yes, they’re comfy and make you feel like you’re walking on air. These sneakers don’t complete any outfit unless intended for running. They’re called dad sneakers for a reason, they’re not meant to be worn on with your best outfit. Keep them for your morning runs and that’s all.
3. Super distressed jeans: This is ripped jeans to the next level. The occasional ripped jeans are fine, but overly ripped distressed jeans are just too much, why not just wear shorts?
4. Puff sleeves or power shoulders: This 80’s fashion trend should be left in the 80’s. It doesn’t work for any situation or outfit. It recently tried to make a comeback, but we should keep the puffy shoulders where they belonged forty years ago, in the 80’s.
5. Mullet skirts: party in the front, business in the back is what the mullet is known for and unfortunately this skirt has the same motto. This skirt doesn’t work for parties or business and it has outstayed its welcome.
6. Fast food fashion: We love burgers and fries, but Moschino took it to another level. McDonald’s based dresses or shirts is a trend that needs to die.
7. Leggings as pants: If you’re going for a run or going to the gym, you get a pass, but anyone else needs to stop. Athletic leggings are thick enough to be worn as pants, but dress leggings are almost completely see through and not meant to be worn as pants. Unless you’re going to wear those leggings with a skirt, throw them out.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
