15 Trends Worse Than Crocs

The 2016 fads are more than just questionable.

15 Trends Worse Than Crocs
Cosmetology Times

I have always been one to judge odd crazes. It's hard not to when they continue getting stranger and stranger. The number of trends that just don't make sense is at an all time high today. Regardless, questioning other people's poor decisions will never get old. I can only hope we will look back one day and laugh at these trends the way we laugh at Crocs now.

1. Five-finger shoes

The shoes that fit like a glove, but for your feet. They are meant to mimic the barefoot experience. Who even thought of these and how? I get it – if you are hiking. But what about the salesmen I have seen wearing these to work?

2. Hip Dresses

Dresses that frame your crotch. Sorry, there is no better way to word that. These dresses are meant to expose the upper thigh; a place that has been unexposed and should remain unexposed because of underwear.

3. Polish mountains

No part of the polish mountain craze makes sense to me. Evidently one or two coats of paint is no longer enough, so people have logically resorted to 100 coats instead. Why? I wish I had the answer to that question.

4. Septum nose piercings

The originator of a trend is never the problem, it's the people who envy the originator that are the problem. Bulls must be flattered.

5. Clip-in feather hair extensions

I don't even have anything to say about this one, except the only place feathers belong is on a bird.

6. Chokers

The last time I wore one of these was in second grade for picture day. I guess it doesn't matter how bad a trend was, it still gets a second chance.

7. Wearing cat tails or cat ears


PSA: Halloween is not year-round, you can leave your cat accessories at home.

8. Rainbow hair


Why? This takes "making a statement" to a whole new level.

9. Man buns


I can't decide what's worse, man buns or clip-on man buns. Groupon is even encouraging this epidemic by selling clip-on man buns at a discounted price. According to their ad, "This attachable – and, equally important, detachable – man bun lets you blend in with your surroundings, putting it on when you smell the fair-trade coffee or hear a banjo, and taking it off when someone utters the word bro."

10. Shot glass lip plumping

Somehow this has become a trend, believe it or not. Beauty websites are actually encouraging people to suck on shot glasses for a quick "luscious" lip plump by claiming it is better than topical treatments.

11. Contour / highlight

Makeup is a wonderful thing, but a line must be drawn somewhere (quite literally). Some are now contouring and highlighting their entire bodies, starting with their necks and ending with their thighs. Who has the time for this?

12. Facekini

Facekini is a mask designed to protect your skin from UV rays. Because I guess sunscreen is too discrete.

13. Eye tattoos or jewels


I can't think of a better place to implant jewels or get tattoos.

14. Platform sneakers

These are worse than the Shape-Up Sneaker trend from a few years ago. At least those were supposed to tone your legs.

15. PLACENTA FACIALS

I saved the "best" for last, of course. As we all know, placenta has a high nutritional value, but this just takes it too far. Recently, celebrities have started using placentas as an anti-aging facial. The common donors for the placenta are humans and sheep. I don't know if it gets worse than that.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
