【Melodrama Archives】

2018 was a year for bad takes,Melodrama Archives but also for pretty awful fashion trends.

The '90s revival has been fun, but let's leave the aughts in the aughts. This year saw a resurgence in horrors like low-rise jeans, boot cuts, and the most disastrous of all, Uggs. And in addition to reviving trends that we wish had stayed in the early 2000s, 2018 saw a slew of new terrible trends, too.

Here are seven fashion trends of 2018 that just shouldn't exist.

1. Boot cut jeans

Sorry, but what human being looks good in boot cut jeans? They're not as secure as skinny jeans and they aren't as saucy as flared jeans — boot cuts are just awkwardly large. Twitter users immediately trashed GQfor claiming it was "only a matter of time" before a comeback for the hideous pants.

2. Thigh high Uggs

Worn by pop culture icons like Rihanna and Dua Lipa, Uggs are making a comeback in the worst possible form: thigh highs. YouTuber Safiya Nygaard called wearing them "like wading through peanut butter." The monstrosity, a collaboration between Ugg and Y/Project, costs a casual $1,380.

3. Oddly tiny fanny packs

Oh, so we're back to those weird cellphone holsters that every dad seems to own. A cross between fanny packs and the pouch that held your father's flip phone in 2010, these absurdly tiny "belt bags" can hold little more than an iPhone. What's the point?

4. Sock sneakers

Cardi B may have immortalized the sock heel with "I like those Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks," but it's time for the sneaker version of the trend to die. At least you'll never have to scrounge around your dresser for mismatched socks again — these babies have them built in!

5. Tiny sunglasses

If you've ever wanted to look like a vengeful evil genius seeking reparations for a traumatic childhood, maybe the trend is for you. But Mindy Kaling tweeted what we were all thinking: "We will regret this tiny sunglasses look." The absurd tiny sunglasses need to fade into oblivion into 2019 — seriously, do they even protect your eyes?

6. Low-rise jeans

Unless you're pop sensation Britney Spears, it's physically impossible to comfortably exist while wearing low-rise jeans. You're either stuck with a horrific wedgie or flashing your buttcrack every time you sit down. Can we leave this trend buried in 2006, please?

7. Plastic boots

Top Shop infuriated the internet with its clear jeans last year, if the plastic horror show could even be considered "jeans." But the fashion industry has been churning out clear plastic apparel all through 2018, and created the most cursed accessory to fall upon this world: clear plastic boots. And as Voguepoints out, these heeled boots, although kind of cool, are awful for your feet. The more your sweat, the more these heat traps steam up.

Can we leave all of these awful trends in 2018?
