11 trends 20-Something Girls Will Still Rock Despite A Guy's Opinion

Look, folks. It's 2018. I've been listening to people tell me what articles of clothing girls should and should not wear for at least three years, and it's exhausting! Newsflash, folks: girls don't care what people trends guys hate.

1. Red lipstick.

The number of guys I've heard complain about red lipstick being unattractive and messy is absurd. You don't have to worry about it! My red lips will be going nowhere near you.

2. Coffin nails.

I'm gonna be real with you: a majority of the time, my rebuttal to "I don't like this trend!" can be boiled down to "I'm not getting anywhere near you with my coffin nails/red lips/etc., so your opinion doesn't matter."

3. High-waisted jeans/shorts.

Guys aren't the only ones guilty of bashing this trend; I've been told by even my own mother (et tu, Brute?) that my high-waisted skinny jeans make my but look long and flat.

4. Chacos.

I've heard every argument for and against Chacos, and all that matters to me is the fact that they're comfortable.

5. Baggy shirts and Nike shorts.

This is another issue of comfort over fashion, really.

6. Dark eye makeup.

Just because some of y'all don't have the precision and control to master smokey eyes doesn't mean that the rest of us can't rock them.

7. Oversized sunglasses.

Can... Can girls not block out the sun, too? Are sunglasses now exclusive to guys?

8. Sneakers.

Some of my research has shown that guys... don't like when girls wear sneakers. I honestly don't even have anything snarky to say to that.

9. High heels.

Seriously, can girls win at all?

10. Birkenstocks.

Come on - let us have our hippie sandals. Please.

11. Clothes in general, I guess.

I think I figured it out! Guys are genuinely concerned for our comfort, and they just want us to wear footie pajamas all the time. That's it, obviously. Ditch uncomfortable jeans and shoes for cozy PJ's. It's what the men really want.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
