The 10 Fashion Trends That Need to Die in 2012

YSL once said that fashions fade, but style is eternal. He really hit the nail on the head with that one. Just because a print, cut, or pattern is trendy does not, I repeat does not, make it stylish. Or for that matter flattering.

Below are 10 trends we’ve seen this year that need to go back to whatever closet they came from.

    As ugly as Crocs are, I'm ok with those still being made- after all, they're made in America and keeping people in work.

    HOWEVER….there's no excuse for sheer pants/leggings to be worn. Ever. The street isn't a nude beach, we'd prefer not to see your undergarments (or lack of them). Leggings are cute as can be…but only if your bits are covered.

    Laughed out loud to every single one of these. Except…. Crocs are cute on little kids. I will make an exception for little kids.

    I agree with everything…. except the Uggs lol I know they're clunky and unshapely but there's no better feeling then breaking in a new pair!

    yes yes leggings/tights are NOT pants. so annoying. uggs are ugly and i hate when i see someone wearing a really cute outfit but ruining it with uggs..

    Definitely get rid of the crocs, and the creeps. I remember my chunky 90's sneakers and thinking they were so cool…
    And I've never liked the bubble skirt trend. I think it's for younger girls and isn't flattering.

    100% agree on crop tops. Who can pull those off?

    Uggs are the bane of my existence! But come on, those of us who work out can indeed rock a crop top. I also throw them on for dance practice. You're all jealous! :)

    i agree with everything EXCEPT crop tops and Uggs. Uggs are soo comfortable and warm especially if you have to withstand freezing winters like me. And who said crop tops don't look good on a nicely shaped female. I work hard to keep my body in shape and I deserve to show it off while I'm still young.

    that's what i said, if you have the body to wear a crop top why not wear them

    I'm keeping my crop tops and my leggings! Mind you I never wear them together.

    uggs are comfortable and warm. if i'm having a casual day, i wear them. and no i don't think they're cool. there are plenty of people who can pull off a crop top. as long as you've got a nice toned stomach, long live the crop top. and i love leggings with oversized shirts and will never give that up. but i agree completely with everything else. bubble skirts… ew.

    I don't agree with crop tops, my toned tummy is my best feature on my body so I like to show it off. Its the same as wearing shorts to show off your legs.

    Disagree with uggs. For people in frigid weather they keep you so warm. And those cute stylish boots cause my feet to freeze. I'd rather wear uggs and keep my feet toasty. Crop tops I always wear with a tank underneath. So i still think they are fine but without a tank they are only at best a cover up.

    Crop tops can work when paired with the right thing, people just don’t know how to put together outfits. Completely agree about uggs, there’s no excuse to wear those. There are plenty of cute AND comfortable shoes.

    I agree with that, fashion fade, but style is eternal, just look at Irina Shayk, that is style… http://bit.ly/vBojSZ

    I love bubble skirts, I think they're cute, but of course that's just my opinion :-) . Crop tops are okay also but best for people who are in shape which is why I don't wear them. Everything else I completely agree with.

    Keep this to yourself. They’re simply nothing but your opinions. YOU CAN’T SAY ‘MUST DIE’.

    - Crocs are comfortable, and are very popular where I live. Uggs can be pretty.

    -Crop tops can be pretty if you have shape, and if you don’t, you can wear a tight T-shirt under it that suits it!

    -Shoulder pads are very, very feminine!!

    - Whatever that picture is you have for number 2 ‘tights ass pants’…. as far as I remember, that look was never fashion.

    -Bubble skirts are cute.

    **These are simply my opinions, too. But I can’t say ‘OH THESE FASHIONS NEED TO DIE.’ , they’re fashion trends… how can they die?!

    i agree with everything except uggs, leggings and crop tops. But think it depends on the age … past a certain age i think uggs look tacky! nothin wrong with a crop top in the summer if ur young and skinny .. i loove them when its hot out
