Top 5 Worst Fashion Trends Of 2009

5.  Harem Pants

One trend that shouldn’t be worn on men or women is harem pants. Call them what you want, they’re MC Hammer pants. A horrible fashion statement at the time and now just a sad look that even makes the stick proportions of a runway model seem a bit too curvy in all the wrong places.  There is only one thing to say about this trend, “Can’t touch this.”

4.  Skinny Jeans On Men

On a certain kind of woman skinny jean are one thing, on a man skinny jeans are something that should be avoided.  Unless you are Sid Vicious, and it’s the late 1970’s.  Above the Jonas brothers show us how this trend has been totally played out and gone in a totally terrifying direction.

3.  Shoulder Pads

A lot of trends from the 1980’s came back to us in 2009.  Some were good like color block dressing, belted waists, and tights.  Some were bad, like shoulder pads.  Now that 2009 is over it looks like the shoulder pad trend is over too and the only people left wearing shoulder pads again will be grandmas. (Note to grandmas everywhere: shoulder pads do not make you look thinner.)

2. Ed Hardy / Affliction T-Shirts

Every time someone mentions Ed Hardy or Affliction, an image of Jon Gosselin enters my mind … or of some over-tanned douchebag in the club getting drunk off Smirnoff Ice and Bacardi Breezers.  Please everyone, stop wearing all of this stuff now.  It is not cool, or trendy, or hip, or anything that you think it is.  It is one word: douchey.

1.  No Pants


We have Lady GaGa to blame for this.  She was seen so many times so many different ways without so many pairs of pants.  This started a chain reaction of no pants wearing among the masses.  Women began wearing leggings as pants (leggings are not pants).  Women began wearing tights as pants (tights are not pants).  I can only hope that with the end of 2009 our long national nightmare of not wearing pants is coming to a close.

    Lady Gaga was also the catalyst for the return of shoulder pads. I would have to agree with you as far as these items not being okay for the masses, but Lady Gaga is the exception. Love the Gaga!

    Adam,

    I agree, Lady Gaga can do whatever she wants, including wearing a frock made of “Kermit The Frogs.” I just wanted to remind the rest of the population to put their pants back on.
