As colliegettes in 2015, we can all agree that we used to wear and do some pretty questionable things. In fact, reminiscing through old photos might make you cringe. Here’s a walk through memory lane of some old trends that we hope never resurface:
1. Crimped hair
Because burning our hair to give it a zigzag pattern was so mermaid of us.
2. Sketchers
Why did they have to be so thick…?
3. Wearing belts around your waist
Because wearing a belt in the belt loops was for nerds.
4. Scrunched hair
Because making our hair crunchy and stringy gave us that attractive fresh-out-the-shower look. Typically paired with some side-swept straightened bangs.
5. Obsessing over someone’s Top Friends on Myspace
To make sure we didn’t get moved down at all, because that would be TRAGIC.
6. These purses
Enough said. I can’t.
7. Sticking out your tongue in every picture
Smiling was overrated. We were rebellious teens who loved to have fun.
8. Having zebra print everything
Zebra nails, zebra clothes, zebra shoes, zebra rugs…no matter what it was, if it was zebra you HAD to have it.
9. Crying at school dances/football games
It was tradition.
10. Pink braces
Because we were thirteen, flirty and thriving.
11. Gauchos
Casually wearing these babies to school was a thing for WAY too long.
12. Needing every shirt you wore to say Hollister or Aeropostale
Because you were a nerd if you shopped anywhere else.
13. AIM
You had to set aside two hours minimum each day to chat with anyone you didn’t see at school. I mean, they couldn’t forget how fun you were to talk to.
14. Having a huge side part
Basically, at one point in your life your hair was a giant comb over.
15. Stalking your crush
Because you hoped that he would see you laughing or doing a hair flip to notice how hot you really were.
Although certain trends tend to resurface after a while, we’re not so sure that any of the above will get any second chances (except for maybe the last one…).
