Over the last several decades, we've seen hundreds of different fashion trends come and go. Sometimes even multiple times because they were just that stylish.

Then there are the trends that need to never ever come back because they’re so horrible, and we can’t believe people rocked them to begin with. here I’m gonna name some of the recent decades worst clothing types due to my opinion.

Baggy jeans

This is a trend every parent and grandparent in the world scolded from the moment it started, but the young whippersnappers were too busy hiking up their pants to listen.

Doubled-up polo shirts.

I don’t know what was going through people’s minds at this tragic point in fashion, but it happened. All we can do now is repress the memory and try to move on with our lives.

The popped collar.

I for one am grateful this trend has passed. It was pretty embarrassing to catch your reflection in the mirror only to notice that half your collar had fallen down and you had no idea.

Bell bottoms

Although this is an older trend, some celebs have dabbled in bringing the style back, and we can only hope that this doesn't happen.

Celebrities have a great impact on people’s choices of clothing and style and as I can see some of the celebrities have just started wearing these Bell bottoms again which scares me of them being trend once more.

Flame bowling shirts

We all knew that one kid who wore this shirt every single day.

If this is still you, please do what this shirt has been begging for all these years and burn it.

Even looking at the photo of these shirts make me laugh these days but that completely resembles the shirt I bought for my brother year a go, thinking how cool it was! 😂

JNCO jeans

Just looking at these makes the baggy jeans trend seem at least tolerable.

On the bright side, there was plenty of pocket space for your giant iPhone that hadn't been invented yet.

Gaucho pants.

I have to admit that I was forced to wear these pants as a child and I’m honestly still not over it.

There are NO shoes that look okay with these. You can bet on that.

I’m just happy that all these styles have almost faded away and I hope that none of them ever come back our eye sight.

But I have to confess that they all were trends and considered to be cool and stylish at their times.😅
