2013 is now the past, and there’s couple things that should be there as well. WVU Hercampus writer Georgia Jablon breaks down what trends should never see the light of 2014.
1. Sock Buns
Pulling all of your hair out of your face is completely fine at many times, but to do it by putting a sock in your hair… that’s where we draw the line. Not to mention the donut on top of your head that in most cases looks more like Saturn’s ring.
2. Candy Crush
We all tried it, we had fun for a couple months, but it is time to say goodbye. Between the loud noises, waiting for new lives, and endless Facebook notifications why has it even made it this far?
3. Selfies
We get it; you’re lying in bed watching Netflix all day. We don’t need to see a selfie of it. Or when you’re on the way to class. Or a picture of your “baby blues.” Wait, you got a new beanie? Wait, we still don’t care about your selfie.
4. Bubble Necklaces
Who ever started this trend should be left in 2013, too. The chains of “bubbles” around your neck look more like a constellation and scream, “I have absolutely no fashion sense.”
5. Galaxy Leggings
Your legs are not out of this world, so stop trying to make it look like they are. Regular colored leggings never hurt anyone.
6. Over Dyed Ombrè
Every girl is supposed to white lie when their friend gets a horrible dye-job, but when it looks like they dipped the bottom half of their hair in a bucket of bleach, that’s where the line is drawn. Subtle ombre is adorable, get it done right.
7.“I can’t even”
You cant even what…? You can’t breathe? Can’t live? Here’s to hoping this saying “can’t even” make it in 2013.
8.Chevron
Lets face it; no one looks good in chevron. Whether it’s a shirt, leggings, or a bag, chevron has a way of looking cheap at all times while managing to not flatter any part of the body. Get rid of it.
9.Uggs
Uggs should have been left in 2010, but they’re still everywhere. Wearing them around your apartment or dorm is fine, but when you’re throwing on your boots with the fur and going to Lux… no. Stop.
10. Flipagram
If you ever want a migraine, just watch one or two of these. Not to mention the horrible choice of music that usually comes along with them. Needless to say, it’s almost guaranteed that no one ever will care about your most “liked” pictures from 2013.
11. #futurehousewife
Just because you can boil water and toss some pasta in it does not make you “wifey material.” It makes you a human being with no cooking skills, whatsoever. Save yourself the embarrassment.
12.Timber
Its going down, I’m yelling shut up. Please. Now. The only thing worse than Pitbull is adding Kesha into the equation.
13.Twerking
Oh you won the twerking contest at Bent? That’ll look good on your resume. Put your feet back on the ground and walk away.
