45 Hilariously Ridiculous Outfits From Fashion Shows We Just Don’t Understand

Hilariously Ridiculous Fashion Show Outfits

We all have embarrassing moments; luckily, most of ours happened among close friends and family. Unlike these hilarious outfits at fashion shows, where everyone that matters and everyone else had a peek at them. Many practical dressers out there will find the following types of outfits are not for them. Take a look at this long list of fashion show outfits that should never have been seen in public.

Hide a Bad Hair Day

You don’t need to worry about a bad hair day anymore; simply wear this outfit and hide it from everyone. This multi-purpose outfit will help to keep your path clean by sweeping everything out of your way, saving you time.

Hide a Bad Hair Day

You’ll be able to hide from everyone all the time if you wear this outfit in public. You’ll definitely draw a lot of attention if you decide to go to the mall or your workplace in this.

Think Out of the Box

Keep your hands warm without the need for gloves on those cold winter days with this all-in-one outfit. You’ll just have to make sure there are as few obstacles as possible, because if you fall down with this outfit you may not get up.

Think Out of the Box

It looks like you can hide everything inside this garment, except for your legs and feet – they’ll still be cold. If you’ve always wanted an hourglass figure, this is your time – this dress will do it for you instantly.

All White and Weird

This weird and very uncomfortable-looking outfit is completely out of the box and out of fashion and comfort zone thinking. The more you look at it, the more you wonder what the designer of this garment was thinking, or who they expect to wear it.

All White and Weird

The dress will win a prize – the prize for the most ridiculous outfit in this fashion show. We’re aware that there will always be something like this in every fashion show that’ll make you laugh.

The Buddy Garment

With this outfit, you don’t need that imaginary friend because it’s already on your back, so you always have someone to talk to. That is if you’re one of those people who like to have an intelligent conversation with yourself if you can’t find anyone else to talk to.

The Buddy Garment

This outfit is perfect for someone who wants to get rid of those unwanted and annoying people who are always looking for your number. At least you won’t feel alone again whenever you wear this outfit!

Size You Up

No more lies from those who tell you they have a size 28 waist; they clearly don’t have one. This fashion designer didn’t make the deadline and sent an unfinished garment on the catwalk, or was this intentional?

Size You Up

Having a scarf that can dual as a measuring tool is great, but isn’t this taking it too far? At least this outfit will help you keep warm and allow you to have a tool close at hand when you need it.

Keep Your Distance

This outfit isn’t meant to be used by subway users or those using the bus to get to work. With this dress, you can be certain that everyone else will keep their distance so you can have your personal space.

Keep Your Distance

No matter where you go in this outfit, people will respect your space and stay out of your way. Maybe celebs will appreciate this garment, so they don’t need to worry about fans getting too close while they move around in public places.

Safety Hazard

The safety hazard is only for those who dare to come too close; they’ll soon find out what’s good for them. This is a great outfit to wear at places where people bump into you without giving any apology.

Safety Hazard

The purpose of this outfit is to teach people manners while you’re safely inside your body armor. Hopefully, that cage is made of soft materials, or it’ll be all fun and games until someone looses an eye.

See it All

This shirt looks like it came from a fairytale about a smart tailor who convinced the king there really is something there when there isn’t. If you’re not of royal blood, you won’t see it, so everyone pretends to see it when they don’t – even the model.

See it All

The model probably didn’t mind wearing the see-through shirt, but they really needed to take the dog out of his face. Or is that hair? It’s simply impossible not to feel a bit confused with this outfit.

Armor for Women

If you ever wondered what armor for women looked like in medieval times, this is your answer. To make it even scarier, the snake for a scarf will scare away any attackers – except maybe those who have a lance.

Armor for Women

While the dress is quite revealing down below, she’s properly covered up at the top. If this outfit isn’t armor, then it must be a way to make people think that what’s hidden must be larger than average.

Alice in Wonderland

This bow will make you look like a character from the children’s story, Alice in Wonderland, just a bit pinker. How do you get inside this dress? Is it like tying your shoes, or more like putting a bow in your hair?

Alice in Wonderland

It must take time to get dressed in this bow dress if you’re not used to tying your dress around you. Wearing this in public will be a great sign that you’re comfortable with what you wear.

Don’t Hop Away

Are those pants or springs fitted on the legs of this model? Hopefully, it’s not made from some type of metal. It takes a lot of courage to walk on the runway dressed in this outfit. This man must be a very brave model indeed.

Don’t Hop Away

This outfit also reminds us of a musical instrument. Is it an accordion? It must be meant to be worn by a musician going to the fair or Mardi Gras. The job of a model can sometimes be very difficult.

Combat Training

This must be some futuristic combat gear and part of training where you need to carry a fellow soldier from the battlefield. If that’s the case, the garment looks cool, but it should be worn without a person on your back because that looks really uncomfortable!

Combat Training

Not every model, or any person for that matter, will be able to wear this outfit without the proper training. The expression on the model’s face looks like they’re struggling to walk, or they’re feeling a bit embarrassed. Which one is it?

You Can’t See Me

It looks like the designer decided it’s time to make something John Cena can wear in public. That way he doesn’t need to remind us all the time that we can’t see him, even though we think we can.

You Can’t See Me

Is this design available in camouflage colors? It’s quite a fancy way to hide in plain sight and be protected from pollution. This fashion design isn’t meant for those who live in warmer places unless you can figure out how to breathe in it.

Superhero

We still don’t know what to call him yet, but anyone can be this new superhero, even if you don’t have the muscles. This outfit looks a bit heavy for those who don’t live at the gym, but it’s perfect for those who want to look the part.

Superhero

This outfit’s purpose is unclear, other than looking like a cheap superhero knock-off. At least the model is playing along with that no-nonsense expression on his face. His facial expression perfectly matches the garment.

Fairy From Another Time

This must be what the tooth fairy looked like before modern times – maybe in Neanderthal times. Even though the clothes look a bit out of place, that dental thing in the mouth makes them look a bit macho.

Fairy From Another Time

Hopefully, the model was compensated properly for being called in by the dentist to fill in for someone else. The local anesthesia didn’t wear off yet, so he needs to be careful not to drool. This type of outfit is why many people don’t want to become models.

Hogwarts Fashion Show

Be careful not to make your imagination come to life for real in this fashion show straight out of Harry Potter. The black garment is wizard-like fashion and the pink dragon makes us feel like this is a Hogwarts fashion moment.

Hogwarts Fashion Show

If this is in a fashion show in normal life, then something went wrong, and the worlds crossed over somehow. The cute dragon that’s part of the ensemble looks so peaceful and will probably make people want to have one for themselves.

Takeaways This Way

Does this newly designed outfit mean that there’s a new chicken takeaway on its way? This will mean even more competition for KFC and the Colonel. Will this outfit be the fate of people working at fast-food restaurants?

Takeaways This Way

At least the outfit looks a bit more real than your average chicken costume, so it might get your attention. The model doesn’t look very impressed with the outfit. We wonder if her lunch was chicken.

The Box Is Lighter

Wearing a barrel isn’t funny anymore and, truthfully, a box is much lighter. This designer must have been tired of women saying “I don’t have anything to wear.” This box dress is intended to give them some idea of what to do in that instance.

The Box Is Lighter

Are you feeling square? No problem, we’ll design a dress that will fit your mood. Now we also know there’s a dress for every mood, no matter what you feel – just use your imagination.

Be Versatile

Have you been feeling lately that you’re not versatile enough and you need some variety in your outfit? Wear beard-like jewelry to complete your ensemble! That’s the message you get from this design made by a very imaginative fashion designer.

Be Versatile

The fact that the outfit and the jewelry are made from very expensive diamonds will stop you in your tracks. This design isn’t meant for normal people out there who are working hard to make a living.

Fruit or Salad?

Is it an avocado, a pineapple, or a mixture of both? Well, it’s difficult to imagine an avocado with all those spikes. This outfit has one thing in common with both fruits – it’ll make you hungry.

Fruit or Salad?

Where does the inspiration come from for some of these fashion designers? Are they deliberately trying to make their designs look this confusing? If that’s the case, this designer was successful in their goal to make us wonder.

Your Order?

It’s time to deliver your favorite takeaway! Was this fashion designer hungry while working on a new design? This proves that you are what you eat. If you’re craving a Big Mac, it’ll certainly show in your work.

Your Order?

At least those signing up to work for this fast food company will now have a new fashion outfit to wear. It looks like this outfit might be the latest dress code required if you want to work for a food chain.

What Season Is it For?

This is a very confusing outfit, is it meant for summer or winter? With tight-fitting shorts, your legs may get cold in the winter. Is this just another way to hide a bad makeup day? Really, you don’t need any makeup at all with this outfit.

What Season Is it For?

It could be that this outfit is a summer garment that’s supposed to get only the legs tanned. It looks like this outfit costs so much that you won’t have enough money left to afford a large container of sunscreen.

There’s Space for More

This huge coat is too much for just one person to wear, judging by the expression on the model’s face. If this is meant for larger people, why don’t they get a model that fits in the outfit?

There’s Space for More

The fashion designer must have a good heart and love to share, so why not design a coat where more than one person can fit in? You wanna go halfsies? Don’t worry, there’s space for you to get in here!

Hang the Christmas Decorations

This is taking it one step further with the Christmas tree look. The outfit’s brown and green colors accurately represent nature and the fir coverings make it look authentic.

Hang the Christmas Decorations

While they were at it, why didn’t they add a bird’s nest to the ensemble, say for a hat or something? This tree, sorry – outfit – will make you feel homesick if you grew up with this type of Christmas decor in your home.

Take Out the Trash

You were only told to take out the trash; you didn’t need to wear it to make a point! The show wasn’t over, and they ran out of outfits, so this designer decided it was time to get a lot more creative…

Take Out the Trash

From our point of view, that’s what this looks like. At least they separated the dark colors from the lighter ones. On the way to the catwalk, someone just added the hat as an afterthought, thinking it would complete the ensemble.

I Can Bounce

Many modern companies think letting their employees sit on a bouncing ball is a great way to add some fun. This designer thought, why not wear it to save time, and you can come to work already wearing the bouncing ball?

I Can Bounce

This will increase productivity while it keeps your employees healthy so they don’t sit all day. They should’ve invited some of the company owners from Silicon Valley to the fashion show. This model doesn’t look too happy about the outfit, though. Hopefully, she doesn’t need to wear it for too long.

Pancake or Cupcake?

This newly designed outfit tells you it’s party time! It looks like something a clown might wear… This model certainly would have preferred to hide behind a clown face while wearing this ridiculous outfit out in public.

Pancake or Cupcake?

How will anyone wearing this outfit be able to use their hands and arms while they’re hidden under that many layers? The strong shoes were the only practical thing about this outfit, as you’ll need them to carry all that weight.

Wait, What?

You don’t create something everybody will talk about and then expect them not to take any photos of it. What else did they expect in a modern age with millions of cell phones connected to social media? This will be shared.

Wait, What?

The outfit speaks for itself, and the model needs to be seen. That’s why she’s on the runway, after all. The dress is pretty much what fashion fans will talk about after the show – that’s why the designer put it out there, isn’t it?

Comic-Con

Is this an outfit used on the set of Dr. Who, Star Trek, or some other sci-fi show that made this look popular? Maybe the designer was watching the latest episode of their favorite show and got inspired.

Comic-Con

At least they’re consistent in the overall color scheme, as the hair and the outfit do match. There are a lot of applications for this type of outfit, and most of them are at comic book conventions.

I’m Watching You

Don’t think that because of the bag over his head, he can’t see you. The slits may look small, but he can pretty much see everything. Are the designers trying to pull wool – or a bag – over our eyes with this puzzling outfit?

I’m Watching You

The rest of the garment looks great, like something we’d wear every day, but the bag is out of place. At least you’ll save the environment by bringing your own shopping bag to the grocery store.

Work Safe

With an outfit like this one, you’ll never be without gloves to keep your hands protected while you’re working. Do you want to do the dishes? Sure! Use these gloves to protect your hands from those strong detergents.

Work Safe

The white hands around the neck will provide you with an occasional hug to keep your spirits up. This outfit says something about the designer; maybe they needed a hug – or a hand – to help them design another fashion garment.

Two Heads Are Better

The primary face doesn’t look too happy; is it because of her outfit? Maybe the other head reminded her that she needed to pay the bills. So, wear the outfit and stop sulking; it doesn’t look half as bad as you think!

Two Heads Are Better

The garment looks like it’s made for this model, so the designer wasn’t far off the mark. It’s still pretty weird to walk down the catwalk with an extra head. After all, there’s not much to figure out that you need two brains – it’s just a walk.

Walking Curtain

This outfit looks like something we’d hang in front of the window in a toddler’s room. The model had to reach deep to get in touch with his inner child in order to be comfortable wearing this design.

Walking Curtain

Maybe the designer was inspired by the birthday cake at their child’s latest party and wanted to make something that reminded them of the many candles at the top. Make a wish!

Mood Swings

This design must be an impression of the different moods the designer was in when they created the outfit. At the top, you’ll see the model is trying to hide their identity behind the hoodie and huge glasses.

Mood Swings

On the other hand, the dress shouts for attention with its shiny material and very visible design. It’s a bit confusing, though. Do you want to hide from those around you or stand out and be seen by everyone?

A Covert Design

While the wearer of this outfit can’t be recognized, the purpose of this dress is also difficult to identify. This makes the outfit a great mystery. Was that what the designer had in mind? To not be understood or identified?

A Covert Design

With the main face hidden and so many creepy faces looking at us, it’s difficult to pick what to look at. Do you speak to any of those many faces, or the faceless person wearing them? It’s a warm outfit, nonetheless.

A Living Drone

At some point in the modern day and age, it’s expected that someone will design an outfit that looks like new tech. If you like flying, but an airplane is too big, a drone will have to do the trick.

A Living Drone

The hat that’s part of this outfit makes it look like the wearer is about to take off for flight. What’s with the compact discs on the dress? Did the designer love science projects and CDs in particular?

Someone Is Watching

If you get on the subway with an outfit like this, suspicious people will quickly ask what you’re looking at. With the many eyes coming with this ensemble, people will feel very uncomfortable with you keeping an eye on them.

Someone Is Watching

The design looks like something we’d wear in cold weather, without the eyes, of course. Also, the hooks are too much. What you want is something to keep your hands warm, but not make you look clingy, so this is an unfashionable choice.

Up the Sleeve

You can hide a lot in those sleeves, but if you’re a magician, it’ll be a bit too obvious that you’re up to something. The huge drum sleeves take something away from this outfit; what can it be? Oh, wait, it’s comfort!

Up the Sleeve

How can anyone feel comfortable wearing an outfit that looks like this? At least these barrel-like sleeves are in a nice color that fits in with the rest of the outfit. But still, the look would be better without them.

Ribbons Everywhere

Do those ribbons and streamers have a purpose, or do they mean something to the designer or the model wearing them? This design may look at home in a circus or on the catwalk of a fashion show, but not anywhere else.

Ribbons Everywhere

This is perfect if you’re an adult and want to feel in touch with your inner child to feel young again. Just be careful not to go anywhere in that dress where those streamers can get caught in a door or something.

For the Well-Endowed

Fashion designers are very considerate when it comes to the larger people out there and what they wear. Look at this outfit, for instance, if you’re a well-endowed woman, this outfit will make things a bit easier for you.

For the Well-Endowed

They should just consider hiring models that fit properly into these outfits. And what’s with the large weights at the ankles? Is the designer trying to tell us something? Are they being held captive somewhere?

Cotton Candy Outfit

This may not be that candy house of the witch from the tale of Hansel and Gretel, but the dress is close enough in appearance. We all know that too much sugar isn’t good for you, so obviously a whole house of sugar is bad.

Cotton Candy Outfit

Subtlety is key, but there was no subtlety with this cotton candy dress provided by this fashion designer. Don’t they know that models need to stay slim? At least the dress looks yummy and ready to be eaten if the model is getting hungry.

Be Prepared

Get dressed for the occasion and be practical with your outfit if you want to go out fishing on the lake. Take an extra fishing net with you just in case. In fact, while you’re at it, save some space and wear the fishing net on your head!

Be Prepared

The rest of this outfit will keep you warm and cozy so you can enjoy the great outdoors. Take the sunglasses with you on your trip to help you cope with the harsh sunlight. Hopefully, the outfit won’t be too itchy.

Hiding in a Bubble

What do you do if you don’t have a lot of confidence in your work? Well, you hide it inside a bubble. But not a bubble you can clearly see through, or all your failures will be revealed for everyone to see.

Hiding in a Bubble

Is the bubble the dress, or does the model at least have something on beneath all the rubber and plastic? The part we can see looks like a cool outfit from a fantasy game, but that’s only the bottom part.

A Portable Bed

If you’re constantly tired of all the walking on the catwalk, this can be quite a handy outfit. Is this outfit available in different colors, or must you wear this in the very visible red? What if you don’t want to be seen taking a nap?

A Portable Bed

The ensemble doesn’t seem to fit too tight, so it won’t be uncomfortable to wear while napping. You can even hide a comfy pillow inside the outfit for that added comfort while catching up on your sleep.

Take it With You

If you love swimming or living in a place where the heat is just too much, stay cool with this outfit. The model already doesn’t have too much on, and then there’s the plastic pool coming with her to complete the ensemble.

Take it With You

Talk about being prepared for anything! This outfit puts that concept to the test and ensures you’re ready to go! Your dreams of having a pool ready when you need one will come true with this outfit.

Please Leave These 30+ Trends in Last Year

Sunscreen Contouring

Learning makeup is now easier than ever. After all, you only have to do a quick internet search of the look you want and thousands of tutorials will answer.

Sunscreen Contouring

One solution that doesn’t require makeup is sunscreen contouring. This beauty tip entails using different strength sunscreen on your face to get a contoured tan. The video that spawned attention to the brief trend was criticized for not encouraging full protection out in the summer sun.

Don’t File Your Teeth

We’ve all looked in the mirror from time to time and looked at their teeth. You might even wish that they were different in some way.

Don’t File Your Teeth

There are certain ways that you really shouldn’t go about changing them. Most of the time, it’s best to leave those decisions to a dentist who knows what they’re doing. The answer isn’t to file your teeth down with a nail file. That didn’t stop some people from trying, though.

Just a Little Honey

At first, the thought of trying a bite of frozen honey isn’t so bad. Drinking a water bottle full of the substance sounds less appealing.

Just a Little Honey

Yet, it wasn’t the flavor of this ill-fated snack that made this frozen honey trend so bad. Those that drank a lot of honey noticed something upsetting. It didn’t take long for the syrupy sweet snack to leave them with upset stomachs and sprints to the bathroom.

Not a Great Challenge

There are some challenges that start trending that really make you wonder what happened. For instance, why would someone pee their pants for fun? The challenge kicked off when some peed their pants on a live stream.

Not a Great Challenge

It wasn’t long before others started to copy the action until the hashtag “#peeyourpantschallenge” garnered almost four million views on the platform before, thankfully, falling back out of trend. We can’t say that we’ll miss it.

Full Facial Waxes

Plenty of people choose to wax their hair off. For one, it can really save time if your preferred alternative is regular shaving. Still, full facial waxes were a reliable source if you wanted to see something shocking.

Full Facial Waxes

The only problem was that, once again, this was a trend that was more risk than it was worth. It seems almost unnecessary to say that covering your face with hot wax could have disastrous results.

Taking From TV

Throughout the year, trends cropped up that many remembered from the ’90s and early 2000s. Some of these were more well-received than others.

Taking From TV

In this revival of trends, though, people were less impressed to see outfits resembling the ones you might see in movies like Twilight and other popular media of the 2000s. The complaints against it weren’t necessarily that it was bad — just that it wasn’t a very exciting trend to follow for long.

Patchwork Denim

Another aspect of the trends of the ’90s and early 2000s we saw last year was even more denim. In some aspects, this was great and led to some stunning looks.

Patchwork Denim

On the other hand, some weren’t as excited to see trends like patchwork denim come back into style. While they can serve as a great statement piece for some, others think the end results look messy — or that it’s just one trend from the past they don’t miss.

Micro Bags

Adding a micro bag to an outfit can be a fun addition. We even saw celebrities like Lizzo jump on the trend with ridiculously small bags as an accessory.

Micro Bags

As fun as they were, there were complaints against the fact that they did sacrifice almost all the utility of a purse. All in all, it’s a fairly useless addition to an outfit, practically speaking, and wouldn’t really help if you were already in an outfit that lacked pockets.

Dangerous Gender Reveal Parties

Stepping away from fashion, this is a trend that’s been building for a while now. The concept is simple — parents trying bigger and bigger stunts for their baby’s gender reveal.

Dangerous Gender Reveal Parties

What started as all fun and games has gotten out of hand quickly. After one gender reveal led to a devastating wildfire in 2020, people started to call for an end to the excessive trend that had become more dangerous over time.

Jeans Above the Ankle

With so many denim styles popular lately, it’s no surprise that we have a few different popular styles of jeans to choose from. What’s a denim collection without a good pair of jeans?

Jeans Above the Ankle

Honestly, the style itself looked good! Still, a few people had complaints about the style simply because they missed their ankle coverage. We’re guessing this is one trend that won’t disappear overnight but that’s why it’s good to have plenty of options for jeans styles available.

Mixed Emotions on Mullets

The interesting thing about seeing old trends come back around is figuring out which ones still remain as controversial as when they fell out of style.

Mixed Emotions on Mullets

One haircut that rose from the grave recently is the mullet. This is another option that many people love and have even pulled off but there are definitely some dissenters against the trend’s return as well. As for the mullet, we’ll have to see if it sticks around or falls to the wayside.

No Licking!

There are some trends that are bad enough to leave people rolling their eyes. Then, there are some trends that get banned shortly after they’ve started. That’s what happened on TikTok with the term “devious lick” and some of its equivalents.

No Licking!

The trend featured students stealing or vandalizing items they found at school. The problem led to formal charges, as well as the ban, but at least it also brought about wholesome “angelic yields” as a counter-trend — where TikTokers return goods stolen from their school bathrooms.

The Milk Crate Challenge

It seems pretty frequent that the internet manages to make something fun out of nearly nothing. Still, sometimes the results can get a little risky. The milk crate challenge was simple enough.

The Milk Crate Challenge

The challenge had TikTok users trying to scale structures made out of stacks of plastic milk crates. Unsurprisingly, the catch was that they weren’t particularly sturdy, making failing the challenge pretty painful. It wasn’t long before people were begging for the trend to fall out before more people tried the dangerous stunt.

A Take on Side Hustles

Over the last few years, it’s been easier than ever to make a profit off of your hobbies. If you’re really good at something, someone might have even suggested it already.

A Take on Side Hustles

When it came to trends not to take into the new year, some people think the concept of turning everything into a side hustle isn’t the answer. They complained that some hobbies should be just that. That is, the complaints are mainly aimed at the obligation of a side hustle, not the bare notion of it.

Cowboy Boots

This is another controversial choice that has worked its way into fashion trends lately. After all, there have been some mixed emotions on the return of cowboy boots.

Cowboy Boots

However, it isn’t an all-around bad trend. Still, some people think that if nothing else, they’re going to be selective about what they pair cowboy boots with. We suppose that they are a particular aesthetic that might not work with every outfit out there.

Take as Intended

There are some items that should never be involved in an internet challenge. Yet, as the internet has proven… again and again, that doesn’t always mean no one will try it.

Take as Intended

Still, we have to wonder if there’s any end to bad ideas like the Benadryl Challenge. This challenge involved taking more Benadryl than advised. Needless to say, it was a dangerous proposition and even the FDA sent out a warning about this trend.

Low-Rise Jeans

As we’ve said, it’s a good thing that there are a few different types of jeans in style. After all, not everyone wants the same look.

Low-Rise Jeans

Still, there are plenty of people who are ready to trade in their low-rise jeans for a pair with a higher waist. It’s a trend that pops up every now and again, and for some people, it really works. For others, the high-waisted trend is more their preference.

Worst Way to Eat Cereal

Enjoying a bowl of cereal in the morning can be a great way to start the day. That is, unless you’re eating cereal as this challenge calls for.

Worst Way to Eat Cereal

The trend that we’re happy to leave behind had users eating cereal using another person’s mouth as a bowl. Aside from inducing some gags in the users who saw the trend, it also seems like a bit of a choking hazard. From now on, let’s stick to the dishware.

DIY Fangs

As Halloween rolled around this year, we had the chance to see a trend where people showed off their costumes for the holiday. Some even came in with handy tips!

DIY Fangs

This included ways to make sure that those vampire fangs you bought stayed on all night. Unfortunately, if you jumped on the trend around the time that some people made the ill-fated decision to use superglue or nail glue to keep the fangs in place, it makes for a dangerously lasting costume.

Playing Pranks

This is a trend that existed on YouTube a long time before the trend extended onto TikTok as well. Many are claiming that it’s a trend that we should leave behind this year.

Playing Pranks

The matter at hand is playing pranks on other people. Specifically, there’s an argument against playing mean pranks on loved ones and especially strangers. To many, it comes across simply as mean without much humor and they aren’t a fan of it moving into the new year.

Tiny Sunglasses

This is another trend that some people weren’t fans of due to their utility. In the new year, some people are really ready to leave behind their tiny sunglasses.

Tiny Sunglasses

The arguments against them are, for one, that they’re due to fall out of fashion. On the other hand, some just wonder why they’d opt for sunglasses with tiny lenses rather than the fuller protection of larger lenses that you aren’t as likely to just look overtop of.

Double Denim

At this point, it’s easy to see that not every denim trend that graced our social media feeds this year was well-received. Another trend that not everyone is interested in is the concept of double denim.

Double Denim

This usually consists of a pair of jeans and a denim top or jacket to finish it off. It’s been in style before but some people think it’ll fall off again this year. Still, it doesn’t quite seem like something everyone is willing to give up.

Sneaker Wedges

Sneaker wedges are another trend that has left many people wondering if every fashion trend that sacrifices utility is a good idea.

Sneaker Wedges

Sneaker wedges have the design of standard sneakers but with a wedge heel for some extra height. They work well if you like chunky sneakers that’ll give you a boost but it removes almost all of the hope of using those sneakers as athletic wear. Some just don’t think they look all that great either.

Biker Shorts

If nothing else, biker shorts are practical. They’re made as athletic wear and the lycra material makes that clear. They’ve become fairly popular.

Biker Shorts

Not everyone is as behind these lycra shorts as when the trend first cropped up, though. While there is still plenty of athletic wear that’s sure to stay in style as time goes on, it seems like the bike shorts are fated to take a break for a while.

Blackout Challenge

There are some things that are usually limited to concerning circumstances. Technically speaking, these circumstances had a lot of people concerned. The trend in question here is the blackout challenge, sometimes referred to as the fainting game.

Blackout Challenge

In it, users try to hold their breath or even shake their heads back and forth to the point of passing out. The dangerous experience is highly ill-advised and has even resulted in some fatal circumstances among young participants.

An Interesting Choice of Primer

There have been a lot of beauty hacks introduced via TikTok tutorials. Some were expected tricks while others left us scratching our heads wondering how this came to be.

An Interesting Choice of Primer

While some reported that the trend worked, we’re not so sure that Durex is usually who we turn to when we need a primer. It does have propylene glycol that makes for a smooth finish but we’re not so sure it’s worth the apparently sticky results.

Bucket Hats

One particularly unexpected trend from the 1990s that came back in 2020 was the use of bucket hats as an accessory. The retro look might not be here to say, however.

Bucket Hats

The casual look that these hats give off might not be among the more lasting trends as of late. While hats themselves are still great accessories for almost any outfit, fewer and fewer people are reaching for their bucket hats to finish off their looks.

The Return of Uggs

There are some trends that were controversial even during their original debut. It seems like they can stay controversial when they’re reintroduced.

The Return of Uggs

That about sums up the mixed feelings around the reintroduction of Uggs. However, many think that the best thing to do is to leave them in the past. They’ve been docked not only for the sake of being Uggs but not always providing the same protection as a winter shoe despite their appearances.

Straw Bags

This is an example of something that people are tired of both for their looks and functionality. Honestly, we can see where the controversy comes from with straw bags.

On the more shallow side, some people are ready to say goodbye to these wicker-like bags purely for their looks. Others complain that since straw isn’t quite as flexible as a purse made out of cloth, they aren’t quite as useful when it comes to serious storage either.

Upside Down Bikini Tops

Sometimes, a new trend doesn’t mean buying something new. It can just mean wearing something you already have in a new way. That’s what happened to bikini tops as people started flipping them around and wearing the tops upside down.

The trend is pretty popular, especially when the weather is warm for the revamped look. Still, there are some who find the trend didn’t quite offer the security they were hoping for.

Scarf Shirts

A scarf shirt is another example of something that doesn’t necessarily look bad. Yet, some are still sick of the trend.

Much like the concept of an upside-down bikini, some found that the look wasn’t worth how much trouble they had keeping the top in place throughout the day. All in all, the complaints mostly centered around looking for something with a great look that’ll stay in place as you go about your day.

Logos on Everything

This is another example of a trend that people have seen for a while. It’s no surprise we’re seeing it again given the ’90s revival in fashion. There are plenty of people who are sick of seeing huge logos on clothing and accessories.

While some are happy to represent the brand they love, others find the practice tacky and unnecessary, putting more focus on the company than the individuality of one’s fashion sense. Only time will tell which opinion on this trend prevails.

Throwing on Crocs

Crocs have been in and out of style over the years. However, that doesn’t mean that they haven’t been highly criticized since their release. So, it’s no surprise that as 2020 closes its doors, people are begging to leave crocs in the past.

Granted, they do have the benefit of being comfortable but when it comes to trends with skyrocketing popularity, they aren’t the most common choice. Those calling an end to this trend argue that comfort just isn’t worth it.

Just Take a Bite

From time to time, we’ve probably all wondered if there was a more efficient way to enjoy our favorite foods. Still, there are some measures that are just too far.

Just Take a Bite

In a cartoonish feat, users put a cob of corn on a drill to try and use the spinning motion to eat faster. In fact, the trend even got Jason Derulo on board who left the video with a chipped tooth and probably a couple of regrets.

Best Left to the Professionals

There are some trends that seem like great ideas but aren’t the best DIY option. Sometimes, it’s just better to get a professional involved.

Best Left to the Professionals

For instance, one Big Brother Australia star ended up with some less-than-exciting results when she tried out some DIY acupuncture she saw on TikTok. Tilly Whitfield shared their story and warned others against blindly trying out DIY beauty trends — especially ones that most people leave to the professionals.

Dry Scooping

It seems like fitness trends are a dime a dozen anymore. The bad news is that there have been some truly dangerous trends here as well. This included the dry scooping trend that had TikTok users eating a scoop of a pre-workout mix without mixing it with water.

Dry Scooping

The only problem is that pre-workout mixes are full of caffeine and it can turn out potentially dangerous, including one influencer who had a heart attack after trying the trend.

Not in the Outlet

It seems like basic knowledge that you shouldn’t put metal from anything other than a plug into an outlet. That didn’t stop people from trying to slide a penny behind a plugged-in charger.

The prank even sparked an advisory from the Massachusetts Fire Marshall. In an advisory, Marshall Peter J. Ostroskey warns that doing this trend can result in “sparks, electrical system damage, and in some cases, fire.” Seems like a good trend to leave behind and never bring back.

Inverted Filters

When TikTok introduced their inverted filter, plenty of people flocked to try it. Not everyone liked what they saw, though, prompting many to call for the filter to stay in the past.

Inverted Filters

Conceptually, the filter flips or inverts your features to show what you might look like to someone else. The only problem was it quickly highlighted the parts of people’s faces that weren’t symmetrical and the filter ended up giving many feelings of self-consciousness rather than having fun with a new filter.

Recording Strangers

It’s very common knowledge for almost everyone to have an online presence. Still, you should have the option to opt out of it if you want.

Recording Strangers

That’s why many people are saying that in the new year, maybe it’s time to finally give up recording strangers for online videos — especially without their permission or knowledge. While the reactions might entertain at times, many say it isn’t worth bothering others who may not want to be involved in the content.

Skullbreaker Challenge

We’re not quite sure what led to this trend cropping up on TikTok. The challenge includes three people and has the apt name “skullbreaker challenge.”

Skullbreaker Challenge

The challenge involves two people tripping the third person, causing them to fall and — in many cases — hit their head. This trend led to a myriad of warnings, legal action, and even fatalities. So, we think it’s safe to say that this trend should be left behind for good.
