2017 Trends to Ditch Before 2018
All in all, 2017 has been a pretty fashionable year. That said, there are certainly those fashion trends that have left us scratching our heads. So, before the new year, we’re taking this opportunity to say: it’s ok! Let’s leave those confusing wardrobe choices in 2017 and start 2018 fresh and decidedly more chic than ever before. From over-priced, totally destroyed sneakers to pastel rainbow unicorn everything, here are eight fashion trends that we’re ditching before heading into 2018.
1/9High-Priced Distressed Sneakers
While respect will always be given to those sneaker-heads who spend more than most on a pair of epic high-fashion sneakers (guilty on more than one occasion…), it seems a little confusing to do so on a style that looks like it’s been eaten by wild animals—even if they do have a label you lust after.
Christian Vierig2/9Millennial Pink
Here and there, we’ll continue to mix in the occasional pale pink accessory, but we’re in desperate need of a break from the hue-of-the-moment, aptly dubbed “millennial pink.”
Christian Vierig3/9Fanny Packs
This retro accessory surely had its time to shine over the past year or so, but we’re ready to return them to their rightful place in the 1980s and grab more structured and elegant handbag shapes in slightly larger sizes.
Christian Vierig4/9Corsets
There’s a reason the 1920s brought with it a break from the stuffy waist-constricting trend. Let’s all remember that—whether you’re wearing a Victorian-inspired look or a casual T-shirt as a dress, the corset is just as uncomfortable as it ever was.
5/9See-Through Jeans
Whether it’s a totally sheer style or one that simply boasts clear knees, this mixed media denim style is one we can happily leave in 2017. After all, jeans are one of the most timeless pieces in your closet—why try to fix something that isn’t broken?
Christian Vierig6/9Mini Bags
If you can’t even fit your iPhone X in your handbag, it’s a pretty good sign that it’s too small. Trade out your micro-mini bags for ones that actually do the job.
Victor VIRGILE7/9Unicorn Everything
Now you don’t have to wear head-to-toe black (though we don’t deny the chicness of that particular choice), but let’s all declare 2018 as the year we ditch the pastel rainbows that are more reminiscent of My Little Pony than an actual real-life wardrobe.
Christian Vierig8/9Clear Boots
Boots that make it look like you’re not wearing anything at all are a totally unnecessary addition to your wardrobe. Not to mention that, especially in the summer, PVC shoes are pretty much the embodiment of a hot sauna for your feet.
