With everyone’s different styles, fashion is constantly evolving and changing, bringing about both good and bad trends. Most fashion crimes can be made up for, but some very unforgivable mistakes are wearing two different shades of a color or jean, excessive patterns, or wearing shoes that don’t compliment the shape of your foot.

It’s very awkward to see people wear a light blue jean jacket and dark blue jean pants (or vice versa), which is why I don’t understand why people make this mistake more than once. Trends become so desirable that people don’t realize the mistake they make when they are trying to become a part of that trend.

I realize that “shoe game” is very important, especially to boys. Shoes can be a statement piece of an outfit, but it has gotten out of control. It’s no longer about whether the shoe is appealing or not, it’s about the name on it and who can “cop” them first. In my classes, I’ve seen shoes that look like blocks. Like colorful, brand name boxes on feet. I don’t understand why people go out of their way to wait in a line for five hours and spend around $200 on shoes that don’t even compliment the shape of their foot. I’ve noticed that people think it’s okay to wear outfits that make no sense but if they have Jordan’s on their feet, they’re excused.

Certain trends from the last year and a half used to really irk me, but they’ve began to grow on me, like jail sandals and Jesus sandals (both referenced to as “jandals”) and floral print.

Almost every girl (and some boys) in the hallways has a pair of jandals. At first, I couldn’t’t comprehend why they were trendy and cute, but then I realized that it breaches the gap between lazy and cute. Most people don’t feel the need to dress for school but jandals add a touch of style to an otherwise effortless looking outfit. For these sandals, there are options. Some have color, bedazzles, or just the regular jandals like my dad wore in the early 2000s.

Floral print has been around forever, but I prefer its previous use as a statement fabric. There are floral shoes, pants, shirts, hats, scarves, skirts and more. It’s no longer an accent, which is upsetting, because it’s no longer a delicacy or statement piece, but I have begun to enjoy its prominence.

These are things that bother me as individual, but it shouldn’t’t make you feel bad about what you like, because when life has run its course, what you wore won’t matter in the future.
