I am no fashion or lifestyle expert, but there are some trends that I simply cannot wrap my head around. Whether its horribly lip-synced videos or the use of plastic bags as purses, here are a few trends that truly stood out in 2018.
Biker Shorts

Biker shorts are literally just spandex sports shorts that are classified as fashion because of Kim Kardashian West. I get that they're comfortable but since when do we label sportswear fashion?
Transparent Handbags

The see-through handbag made its appearance mid-2018. The transparency of this handbag makes it easy for everyone to spot the contents of your entire bag, including your wallet, change, and pepper spray.
TikTok Videos
Youtube
Just when we thought the lip-syncing to songs on video trend was dead, it made a comeback via TikTok, an app on the iPhone that records 15 to 60-second videos featuring people lip-syncing or dancing to songs, also known as miming.
Transparent Boots

The counterpart to the transparent handbags, see-through boots were also a "thing" in 2018. These shoes make leg hair and sweat very visible, so naturally, Kim Kardashian endorsed the product.
Halo Eyebrows
Youtube
Funky eyebrows have been a reoccurring theme over the past few years. Last year, we saw beauty gurus draw their eyebrows in a swirly motion to the middle of their forehead- it's a casual look.
Denim Knee-High Boots

These boots take denim to a whole new level. I can actually see how some people might want to indulge in this trend, but there's no doubt that it's still a pretty odd look.
I'm sure this list of questionable trends could go on, but these were most "striking" of the bunch.
