10. Super-pointy shoes
Why did this even become a trend? They make you look like an elf.
OhioFashionista: We agree! While stilettos are a different story there are some that take the cake such as point-toes crinkly ballet slippers (see image below).
9. Bringing back shoulder pads
A "worst fashion trend" from one of the worst decades in fashion has no business trying to resurrect itself.
OhioFashionista.com: Cindy Crawford that did it best in shoulder pads back in the 80s which is exactly where it should have stayed a nice distant memory.
8. Vera Bradley
The worst thing about this head-to-toe preppy outfitter is that people always wear/carry six of her clashing, paisley-covered things at once.
OhioFashionista.com: This is the least problematic for me as I rarely see this in the city, but out in the country there are stores with large departments dedicated to the quilted handbag mafia.
7. Crocs
Crocs should only be worn while performing one task: working in a hospital while wearing scrubs.
OhioFashionista.com: We couldn't agree more, but we also don't mind when we see them in the vet office as they are considered to be comfy but not quite trendy. However if you MUST wear Crocs the Mary-Jane style is the preferred look.
6. Velour tracksuits
Head-to-toe velour makes even the classiest woman look trashy. Especially if "Juicy" is sparkling across the seat.
OhioFashionista.com: Warm to exercise in, in the winter but otherwise something cheap to pick up for housework clothes.
5. Coordinating clothes with your dog
A dog might be man's best friend, but it's not a person. Don't dress it in a Christian Audigier shirt.
OhioFashionista.com: It's cute on the dog, dress them in matching outfits.
4. Uggs
Uggs should only be worn while performing one of three tasks: walking the dog, shoveling snow or herding sheep in Australia.
OhioFashionista.com: UGH. There is a time and place and columbusalive.com has them listed appropriately above.
3. Blinged-out or bedazzled clothing
Especially menswear. And especially in combination with skulls, crosses and/or angel wings. Ed Hardy, we're talking about you.
OhioFashionista.com: Never would have thought I would see guys wearing bedazzled clothing, but there is definitely a market for Ed Hardy clothing. Which I must say as a female I love the vibrant designs on Ed Hardy apparel!
2. Sagging jeans
Hate to sound like an old person, but how do you walk with your crotch at your knees? Pull up your pants, kid!
OhioFashionista.com: It's amazing that even wearing a belt pants sag! I tend to think it not only creates horrible walking habits (waddle) but posture would be affected.
1. Walking advertisements on shirts and purse
Sure, you want people to know you're wearing/carrying a status symbol. But that emblazoned store name or patterned logo just makes it hideous
OhioFashionista.com: We all love our labels, maybe I should submit a letter to designers for a royalty fee? Just to be funny embed a pedometer on the purse and invoice a per mile cost. But out of all seriousness it almost seems to not be away around it many times but as a consumer there is surely also other alternatives.

wow .. very nice blog
I was greatly assisted on his information
Thank you very much
One other fashion trend forgotten...multiple tattoos. Tattoos are only for people who are the following: 1) Asian gangsters, 2) sailors, 3) Pacific tribal leaders...not for anyone else.
If they're done with taste (like a meaningful design/story/reason) then they're cool. Especially if time and thought were put into it. For example, I'm black (not too dark) and I have a tattoo of the jewish arm band they were forced to wear during the war/Holocaust. I chose that because I'm against the atrocities of humanity and it's my way of putting it back in mankind's face to never forget...I want to get my inmate number (not in jail anymore) on my forearm as well as a brand (as slaves were branded) and my mom's face (RIP) on my other arm. I only have 1 so far for almost 9 years.
