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.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
