I can vividly remember my favorite sixth grade outfit–a brown v-neck, my camo mini skirt over brown leggings, and my sand UGGs (which I still have, btw). Although sixth grade me may have rocked this outfit, I’m glad that camo mini skirt doesn’t fit me anymore! And I’m also glad that we left these 5 things in middle school.
1. Skirts over leggings
I’m not sure what made us think this was a good idea (or was that just me?), but I’m thankful that maxi skirts have overtaken mini skirts with leggings.
2. Tank tops over othershirts
I rocked this trend as did most other girls from 4th-7th grade. Spaghetti straps were against the dress code though, of course.
3. Graphic t-shirts
You know the drill–that huge wall at Delia’s that we used to rummage through for the perfect tee. Although “I love nerds” may have been cute back then, we’re thankful this is no more.
4. Gaucho Pants
Worn with your favorite tie-up sweater (see below), gaucho pants were cute and comfortable. Despite their practicality, it’s a blessing yoga pants have stepped in.
5. Tie-up cargdigans
I’m not sure what the draw with these was, but thankfully modern cardigans tend to look more like sweaters and less like bras with long sleeves.
Although we may have worked these items in middle school, we can all be glad to see them go. But I did keep my gaucho pants…you know, just in case they come back!
