Looking back on everything, fashion It’s clear that 2024 was dominated by a mix of fun and divisive moments in fashion. From pop stars ushering in a new era with designer stagewear to all the “core” and “aesthetics” that have taken over street style, some styles show potential to become long-term staples. However, the same cannot be said about some of these trends.
Fashion may be very subjective, but some of the trends of 2024 are unanimously shunned and will be the first to be discarded in 2025. Certain runway-inspired styles may shine during high-fashion moments, but they often fall short in everyday situations.
Here are some trends from the past few years that will never come back.
bermuda shorts
Some people adore the nostalgic ’90s vibe these shorts exude, but they’re just one of those things that only works for supermodels and IT girls. These shorts can accentuate your thighs if not styled carefully, which many people find unattractive. They are also a good example of how not all trends have to be cyclical.
platform sandals
Another 2000s hit that made a comeback this year, platform sandals were once overshadowed by single-sole styles. As ballet flats and Mary Janes became more popular, platform sandals became downright ugly when compared to today’s other trending shoes.
Higher-grade activewear
The obsession with athleisure may be understandable, but as soon as athleisure takes a bold step to take fashion to the next level come summer 2024, the line between a sporty wardrobe and a smart-casual wardrobe will be sharpened. became vague. In theory, the idea of blending comfort and style may seem appealing, but when you look at yoga pants or tights paired with cute flats or heels, you end up with a disjointed look that doesn’t go well with many people. Just generate it.
see-through skirt
This year, sheer clothing became even more risqué, and transparent skirts led the way. While these items may make a bold and striking fashion statement, they are completely impractical and require quite a bit of effort to style.
barrel leg jeans
Even people who hate skinny jeans will agree that they would rather wear them than barrel leg denim. Reminiscent of Victorian cycling bloomers and pirate pantaloons, this voluminous silhouette adds an unusual curve to the mid-leg. They have a costume-like feel and are completely at odds with the oversized trend sweeping the streets.
