Many current fashion trends are predicted to fade away as we approach 2024. One of the most disliked trends is barrel jeans, often criticized for being unflattering.
Another controversial trend is the expensive “vegan leather,” often made from pleather and marketed as a sustainable alternative. However, the quality and durability often don’t match the high price tag. Many argue that true vintage leather goods offer better long-term value and sustainability.
Brushed-up eyebrows, often seen on social media, are another trend facing criticism. Some find this style distracting and unnatural.
Fake freckles and super long acrylic nails are also on the list of trends expected to decline in popularity. The impracticality of long nails and the artificial look of drawn-on freckles are common complaints.
Certain sock trends, such as long white socks with shorts or tucking sweatpants into socks, are deemed outdated and unstylish. The “broccoli cut” hairstyle, a combination of a perm and a bowl cut, is also widely disliked.
Excessively thick false eyelashes, colorful pimple stickers, and the mullet-mustache combo are also expected to see a decline in 2024. Over-the-top eyelashes are seen as unnatural, while pimple stickers are considered to draw more attention to blemishes.
Chunky sneakers reminiscent of older styles are also falling out of favor. Many question the practicality and aesthetics of these bulky shoes. Similarly, hooded sweatshirts with minimal torso coverage are considered confusing and impractical.
Tiny sunglasses, while fashionable, are criticized for their lack of adequate UV protection. The trend of young children using anti-aging serums and makeup is also drawing concern.
“Micro shorts,” often resembling underwear, are another trend predicted to disappear. Excessive Botox use in young people is also increasingly frowned upon. Bubble hems and cropped clothing, particularly sweaters and jackets, are also on the decline.
Ankle-length pants, cropped clothes for children, and Crocs are also facing a potential decline. The center-part hairstyle, popularized in recent years, is expected to give way to side parts.
The “roadman” style, characterized by tracksuits and cross-body bags, is becoming less popular. Small, simplistic tattoos, often compared to childhood doodles, are also losing their appeal.
Low-rise and mom jeans, along with pencil-thin eyebrows, are also expected to make their exit. Oversized clothing, especially blazers, is predicted to be replaced by more fitted silhouettes. Baggy pants from the late 90s and early 2000s are also facing a resurgence in criticism.
Unbuttoned pants exposing underwear, overdrawn lips, ill-fitting suits, and a lack of color in clothing are additional trends anticipated to fade. The dominance of microtrends and a perceived lack of personal style are also subjects of discussion as fashion evolves.
