18 Trends We're Totally Over—Are Any Hiding in Your Closet?

by Kat Collings

While a percent of trends that go out of style are eventually rewarded with a comeback, others (we hope) go far, far away—and stay there. While it can be stressful to keep up with at times, the clear upside of this purging of sorts is that it makes room for new pieces to steal the spotlight, assuming you’ve rid your wardrobe of the old ones. So, in case it’s been a while since you did a closet-cleanse, today we’re rounding up the 18 fashion items we’re so over, along with what you should be wearing instead. From wedge boots to shredded tops, your wardrobe will be a better place without these.

Scroll through to see the 18 trends we’re totally over—and shop our picks of what to replace them with!
