Past-Their-Prime Style ‘Trends’ We’re Breaking Up With

Let’s face it: style is a constantly evolving love story, and sometimes, it’s time to break up with trends that have overstayed their welcome. From shoes to makeup, we’re ready to say goodbye to the looks that once ruled our wardrobes. Ready for a style refresh? Here are the past-their-prime trends we’re leaving behind and what to embrace instead.

Chunky Sneakers → Low-Rise Sneakers
For the past few years, the chunkier your tennis shoe, the better. But no longer, as current trends have pivoted to a sleek low-rise sneaker. Even high tops like Converse have been put on the back burner, but as they’re a classic, maybe just keep them in the back of the closet until their moment comes back around again.

Oversized Blazer  → Tailored Blazer
Now don’t entirely turn your back on the oversized blazer, but maybe reach for something more tailored or cropped this season. Now’s the time to rock the tweed blazer a la Carrie Bradshaw.

Puffy Headbands → Bandanas
Leave these looks for your makeup routine, as the sun has set on the puffy headband princess look. Bandanas are back as a chic headgear accessory, or if you’re brave, rock a bold-brimmed hat.

Long cardigans → Cardigans Tops
It’s curtains for the duster-style sweater. Instead, style-mavens have turned to wearing cardigan-style sweaters as tops, but the fit is key. The basis of this trend shift seems to be away from drapey, open sweaters, to buttoned, more put-together ensembles.

Natural makeup  → Bold Beauty
After a few years of the no-makeup makeup look reigning supreme, we are entering an era of glam. That means it’s time to integrate eye shadows and bold lip colors back into our routines. Like the sweater trend, the rise of more visible makeup stems from an appreciation for more time spent on putting together a look.
