13 Worst Fashion and Beauty Trends Of 2014

2014 is coming to a close, and what better way to end it than by looking back at the looks that we most regret and vowing to end them in 2015?

Fedoras

Some men and women can wear a fedora, but if 2014 has told us anything, it’s that people do not like people who wear fedoras. Avoid the ridicule and put these hats away.

Big Bows

Ok, yeah, it’s cute in theory, but in reality, wearing a big hair bow just comes off as juvenile most of the time. It’s time to grow up.

Orange Skin

This horrible trend has sadly been rampant for years now, but we’re praying it will finally see its end in 2015. Please, skip your spray tans, or at least set the sprayer to low! We’re tired of seeing all these Oompa Loompas in Hollywood!

Semi Slicked Back Hair

This year, stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Portia de Rossi wore this daring look to the Oscars. While we love both of these women, this hairdo isn’t doing them any favors.

Black Lipstick

These goth-y lips are a trend from the 90’s that has sadly seemed to find its way back into the limelight. Some women can rock dark lips with ease, but when they get to an extreme shade, it’s rare that they won’t overpower the look.

Extreme Ombre Hair

This style of two-toned hair is a great trend, but it’s still on this list because sometimes the color change is way too much. Black to blonde? Nope!  It also the most overdone hair fad for the past few years. We’re tired of it. Try something new with your locks!

Super Straightened Hair

Aside from taking hours to actually attain, this hairstyle doesn’t even really pay off that much. For most people, the natural waves, curls, and volume in your hair look so much better than this boring and limp hairdo.

Peplum

Peplum dresses can be cute in certain situations, but a lot of times they look like you’re sprouting wings from your waist. Let’s leave these dresses in 2014 and move on.

Word Jewelry

Chunky word jewelry keeps seeming to pop up all over. It can be a good statement piece on occasion, but it’s usually a better bet to let your outfit speak for itself without the big blaring text.

Harem Pants

Somehow, these pajama pants are became acceptable to wear in public. We can understand the comfort of these baggy pants, but it just looks like they’re bunching up. Sweatpants are even preferable.

Printed Leggings

Since print leggings will become your outfit’s focal point, there’s really no in-between with them — they can either make your look totally pop or, the other 95% of the time, make it super busy and messy. Try a print jacket or accessory instead of turning your whole pair of pants into the statement piece.

Flowy Pants

Printed, loose pants caught on with the whole Bohemian trend. But does anyone else think they look like pajama pants? And to make matters worse, theses big, billowy pants aren’t very flattering.

Designer Logo Puns

It was cute at first, but now the jokes are getting a little old. Celine Paris is the worst culprit. Really, is this necessary?

Maxi Mini Skirts

It’s a mini skirt with a sheer maxi skirt over it. I don’t know who thought this would be a cute idea, but it sure caught on fast. Why? I have no idea. It was just a very strange look, to say the least.

Holey jeans

Distressed jeans are an easy and fashionable way to add edge to your look. But jeans that have huge, skin-exposing, foot-long holes just look trashy. It literally looks like your pulled your jeans out of the trash.

Cut-Out Swimsuits

Yes, sometimes the cut-outs add the perfect amount of uniqueness and sex appeal. But, you’re already in a swim suit, how much extra sex appeal do you need? And can we just stop and think about the terrible tan lines you’re going to have?
