7 Fashion Items That Should’ve Never Existed

Do you ever look at a fashion piece and just wonder why in the world it exists? Because we do, a lot.

1. Name Necklaces

I know I shouldn’t go around bashing the one neck accessory every Lebanese girl owns (well, almost). But, like, why in the universe do you need to have a gold plated version of your name hanging off your neck? Are you trying to summon childhood memories through a refined form of kindergarten name tag? Or is it a creative attempt to spare people the awkwardness of forgetting your name in the course of random weather-talk episodes? My baffled soul is in need of some serious explanation.

2. Bedazzled Denim

The only place where bling is allowed to exist as far as I’m concerned would be Drake’s discography. NOT THE BACK OF YOUR JEANS FOR FASHION’S SAKE.

3. THESE?????????

Just when I thought the Dior embroidered sneaker fad was over, one fashion blogger’s recent Instagram photo in which she pretends to be strolling down some street, flaunting her $1,100 shoe disaster, came in to wreck every last bit of hope in me. These aesthetically depressing sneakers caused major fashion controversy when they first came out in 2014. And should’ve probably remained just that: a sad 2014 memory for the fashion community, and the universe.

4. Glitter Uggs/Toms/Anything

Uggs may be warm and comfy and Toms slip-ons can add an effortless, cool vibe to just any outfit. Their respective glittered versions, however, are nothing more than a sophisticated attempt to complicate life. Just why??

5. Sweatpants with words written on the back

There is absolutely no need for added ‘look, I have a butt’ detail on the back of your sweatpants/leggings, especially when such fitness garments draw enough attention to that particular area already. It’s just plain awkward, unnecessarily extravagant and totally unflattering. Kindly RIP for good.

6. Ugg-Crocks

Yes, these exist. No, I don’t need to explain any further.

7. Neon Lace

Why is neon lace allowed to exist again? But seriously, whoever came up with the groundbreaking idea of blending neon and lace needs to consult with their psychiatrist immediately. These tops are a sheer disgrace to the delicacy of lace. Also, I just wrote a sentence that rhymes. Does it get any cornier than that?
