It is well-known that fashion trends tend to repeat themselves, with some styles making a comeback over time. However, certain trends are more challenging to revive, such as long skirts after the popularity of mini skirts in the 1980s. Nowadays, designers occasionally reintroduce old concepts, and some of these revivals are truly astonishing.
Let’s explore the current trends that should definitely remain in the past.
1. Pointed Bra
This peculiar style of lingerie was created by the eccentric millionaire Howard Hughes, who had unconventional relationships with Hollywood stars. The bra cups were stitched in a way that made them appear sharp, giving the breasts a lifted and alluring look. It conveyed a sense of adventure and romantic escapades.
Of course, not all bras were so extreme, and round cups became fashionable later on. However, during the forties and fifties, women had limited options.
2. Mullet Hairstyle
The mullet haircut gained popularity in the 1980s and was sported by both women and men. At the time, it was considered quite normal, but nowadays, this style elicits disgust in most people.
The hairstyle gives the impression that the hairdresser went crazy and started experimenting with the person’s hair. Nevertheless, some celebrities still appreciate the combination of short hair in the front and long locks at the back.
3. Ultra-Thin Eyebrows
In the 1920s, ultra-thin eyebrows became a fashion trend. They were as thin as threads, often shaved off and redrawn. This had unfortunate consequences, as some people ended up with bald eyebrows that needed to be concealed or artificially enhanced.
When John Galliano was leading the creative department at Dior, he often incorporated this makeup style for models, resulting in an interesting but highly radical look. Some women naturally had thin eyebrows, while others resorted to various methods to achieve the desired thinness.
4. Tattooed Eyebrows
At times, women would appear with dark, heavily tattooed eyebrows, resembling cartoonish elderly ladies. Over time, the color would fade, but some women experienced severe irritation, leaving their skin red and inflamed. There were also cases of poorly executed and misshapen tattoos. In short, this procedure is far from ideal, and men are not particularly fond of this eyebrow style either.
5. Low-Rise Jeans
This trend involved wearing jeans with an extremely low waistline, often accompanied by visible G-strings. Despite some designers persistently attempting to revive it, many find it unnecessary. How can jeans with an excessively low waist replace those with a normal waistline? Exposing the lower back in such a manner is not particularly appealing. Additionally, leaving the waist and lower back exposed can lead to catching a cold in the kidney area. Furthermore, if older women wear this style, it tends to create an “extraordinary” appearance.
6. Fake Tan
Upon discovering artificial tanning methods, people enthusiastically embraced them. As a result, some individuals ended up looking more like overcooked chickens than elegantly sun-kissed. While a natural tan can be attractive, an excessively artificial tan often appears unappealing.
7. Unnaturally Thin Waist
Unfortunately, the obsession with having an excessively thin waist never seems to disappear. Some women even resort to rib removal surgeries in pursuit of a slimmer figure. Regrettably, this trend has influenced both women and men to undergo such extreme measures.
