12 trends that need to die in 2015

By Danielle Pergament

We never thought we'd see the day when grilles seemed almost quaint in their ridiculousness. So thank you, 2014, for bringing us socks with sandals, lavender hair, and a hat that you could hide a small child in.

EXCESSIVELY DESTROYED JEANS
If you need to put self-tanner on your legs to wear your jeans, they are no longer jeans. They are jean skeletons—and they need to be laid to rest.

LEGGINGS AS PANTS

No one needs to see that much of any other person. Think of it this way: What's comfortable to you is uncomfortable to everyone else.

13 trends that need to die in 2015
We, too, loved them dearly, until we realized we are neither 1) warriors, nor 2) princesses.

PURPLE HAIR

First it was Nicole Richie. Then Kelly Osbourne went lilac, too. And then so did everyone else (looking at you guys, Demi Lovato, Anna Paquin, and Kesha). Let's leave the My Little Pony look in 2014, shall we?

OVERALLS

Let's leave the original adult onesie where it belongs: on the sweaty carpenter.

FLORAL CROWNS

Unless it's Midsummer Eve, you're in a Scandinavian nation, there's a Maypole within ten feet of you, and you're six years old. Then, by all means, feel free to dress like a wood nymph.

SHORT SHORT SHORTS
Honest question: When the hemline of your shorts is higher than your underwear, where can you sit and not worry of contracting a bad acronym?

JUICE CLEANSES

Dear Candy Corn and Cotton Candy,
You taste better and possibly have less sugar than any green juice we've ever tried. We're sorry we ever left you.


KITTEN HEELS

To be fair, they do achieve what no one thought possible: shoes that are uncomfortable and unflattering at the same time.

SEPTUM CHAINS OR SEPTUME PIERCINGS
Think of it this way: If it makes you want to shout, "Olé!" and flick your hand in the air, it's probably worth retiring. (The exception: taco trucks.)

SOCKS WITH SANDALS

Think it through: If we start taking fashion cues from hungover frat boys, we're probably headed toward a bleak future of white baseball hats, cargo shorts, and futons.

PHARRELL'S HAT

Somewhere in the world, a cartoon character is weeping and confused, and filling out a police report for a stolen ten-gallon hat.
