What trends would you like to see die a death in 2018?

For me:

Frills on tops
Big, stupid sleeves

'Dipped hem' tops. I think that's what they're called? Where the back of the top is longer than the front. I don't think they look good on anyone, but especially if you have a curvy bum. I look and feel like I'm wearing a nappy!

Big rectangular brown eyebrows.

Ankle-swinger trousers with non-visible/non-existent socks. In the depths of winter..... WTAF??!

Jaxtellerswife · 14/01/2018 20:33

Harem trousers

doodlejump1980 · 14/01/2018 20:34

Not smiling in photos.

Weird pleated skirts that some instagrammers wear. If it wasn't for the billion accessories and the sweatshirt with something pithy written on it, those skirts could have been nicked from my Auntie Sandra.

See also brogues.

Renfrewshire · 14/01/2018 20:35

Cold shoulder tops and dresses.
Agree those big sleeve things.

Basically hope 2018 sees a return to normal sleeves! No excess material and no cut-outs anywhere.

CountFosco · 14/01/2018 20:37

Cold shoulder tops. Don't mind some frills and think wide legged crops can look fabulous (but I've not tried them myself yet) but I never think cold shoulder tops look anything othe than daft even on the young thin, and gorgeous.

CountFosco · 14/01/2018 20:38

And brogues are fucking awesome.

woodhill · 14/01/2018 20:38

Polyester and acrylic

Boxy shapes and high necks

MrsMarigold · 14/01/2018 20:38

Cold shoulder frilly tops and dresses, fierce eyebrows and contouring.

peachypetite · 14/01/2018 20:39

Cold shoulder tops! Awful!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/01/2018 20:40

Cold shoulder tops.
Silly sleeves.
Jumpers that barely reach one's belly button.
Bloggers who have their mouths wide open in every pic - WHY?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/01/2018 20:41

And yes to polyester. I will allow it to exist in skirts, but in tops and dresses it needs to go in Style 101 immediately.

Annabelle4 · 14/01/2018 20:41

Cold shoulder
Embroidery

hugoagogo · 14/01/2018 20:42

Skinny jeans
Beards
The rest can be easily avoided ime.

fruityb · 14/01/2018 20:43

Hair tossing!

Dark eye make up and mismatched foundation. Highlighter that makes you look like you’ve been dipped in gold paint.

Tongue between teeth when smiling - what is that even about!

Mirror selfies where you can see the phone and they’re looking at the phone!

MikeUniformMike · 14/01/2018 20:45

Cold-shoulders and Bardo tops
tops with pleats at the neckline
cropped trousers
Statement sleeves
Frills

Butterfly1975 · 14/01/2018 20:45

Skinny jeans
Massive eyebrows
Cold shoulders
Pointless slogans on tops
Shoes/boots with unnecessary bits cut out of them

..oh and yy to polyester and acrylic!

ButteredScone · 14/01/2018 20:46

Ruffles

Delatron · 14/01/2018 20:46

Crop tops. It's probably my fault for still shopping in Top Shop. You think you've found a nice top then you examine it and it's half a top.

gingerclementine · 14/01/2018 20:46

Huge black eyebrows that look like they were drawn on with a Sharpie. I saw a woman the other day, no make up on, just these bizarre black stripes on her forehead, against her very pale English winter skin. Really not a good look.

MikeUniformMike · 14/01/2018 20:47

Slightly open mouths in photos. Eeurgh!

Cold shoulder tops.
Skinny jeans - bring back flares and bootcut.
OTT make-up and hair.
Feel bad for saying this but - breton tops. Bored.
