The Common Trend-e-nominator
There was a time when wearing masks was fashionable (and don't get me wrong - it still is). In particular, this was (and still is) a thing in modern East Asian culture, specifically amongst the Japanese. Having read a few articles, i discovered that Japanese people wore these masks due to allergies and to prevent spreading their germs to other people - very considerate!

Fashion Trends
Why is this cool? Is it even cool at all? Who made it cool? When will it end? These are my questions. Of all fashion trends and statements of individuality to express through jewelry and other accessories one thing I consider a pet peeve of mine is a sagging pant. Although it is best to admit that I am guilty of not wearing a belt a few times when wearing a pair of my old boyfriend’s jeans, I unfortunately must say it was not as comfortable walking around in the store when shopping having them on. I was constantly concerned with the impression they gave off when crossing paths with elders or having to hold them up whenever I put groceries in the car.

The Return of the Smize
We often hear a smile is the prettiest thing you can wear. That advice is now irrelevant when half your face is covered. In 2020, masks became a fashion statement and a political one. Once thought of as part of a surgeon's uniform, now the most noticeable style accessory to show off your personality or activism.

Let Us Lay Tie-Dye To Rest. Second Place in So 2020 Challenge.
Reminiscent of summer camps and sleepovers, (or for those more experienced in life and lettuce, the ultimate summer sleepover of ‘69,) tie-dye has worked its way from the kid’s craft aisle at Walmart, to beaching with Beyonce, all the way up to headlining Christian Dior’s Spring 2020 collection “Quarantine Fashion.” This, of course, being foolishly caused by the cabin fever plaguing every citizen this past year.

Face Fashion...yeah that's a thing
What can I say, the year had its fair share of ups and downs, and with the growing concerns of the pandemic, the public was left alone with online shopping and time to spend their savings. 2020 introduces us to the things that regrettably became “trendy”, one thing that stood out the most it stepped into my life and took control.

One Shade of Wrong
It turns out that our phone screens were not the only ones glowing in 2020. A new trend emerged last year, challenging the integrity of fashion designers: the highlighter trend. Along with the arrival of more daylight in Spring time, came fashionistas who decided to take their revenge on the dark, lonely and attenion-less year they had experienced thus far. This revenge came in the shape of head to toe neon clothing. From neon shoes, coats, jumpsuits and dresses to handbags, nails and even hair extensions. Inspired by the chemincal eliment, glow sticks and car-park marshalls; these trend setters were beginning to look on the bright side of life and expressed it in their clothing.

New Year New Fashion
Well, we are one month down into 2021 basically, and change is happening all around us. That being in spirit, presidency, careers, and so much more. We even have a new norm when it comes to our everyday appearance, that being masks. It has become fashionable for many that finally excepted the masks, but that’s not what I am here to talk about. If we are going to be getting into fashion that should let go of, I personally would love to see tight close disappear, for both men and women. That means regular fit for men and loose-fitting clothes for women. I mean if you are ask me, it is easy to catch attention and turn heads wearing little to nothing or with tight clothes with every dent and crease visible. But what I want to know is, can you catch my attention without clothes that you have to jump into or inhale and hold until you can squeeze in them? I get it, it is sexy to show off your body, especially if you spend hours a day working on it but imagine the surprise on the faces of the lucky person that gets to see it come time as oppose to the unwanted faces you also attract walking down the city streets.

Tiny Purse Tyranny
I feel like this trend that I absolutely despise has been overshadowed by 2020's baffling low-rise pants, exposed thongs, and of course, the incorrect mask (it goes over the nose). This trend that I am about to mention has been hiding. I'll see it every now and then, but never quite in its full force. But, it does have the potential for a comeback, so I'm hoping to squash that possibility right now.

Bye Bye Bermudas
It's the Wild Thornberry vibes for me... You know what I mean? How Eliza rocked the cargo bermudas with the tucked in tank? Cute for a safari or beach, not for boardrooms even if they are virtual. It's also the way they sit ever so slightly 6 inches above the knee, giving us that subtle knee action we've just always wanted. *eye roll* The length alone is uneasy to look at. They just look long, though they’re shorts. I get they're meant to be longer shorts, but honestly, they feel closer to being shorter capris and for some reason, that's just unsettling to me. They also say to me, “I’m trying to be formal, but I want to be casual and I’m trying to be cool but need to be warm too.” They’re confused, I’m confused, and I don’t like it.

The Eyes have it
Fashion Trend... if there is ever a phrase that is the polar opposite of me, it would be 'Fashion Trend'. Sweat pants, stained T shirts, jeans, yoga pants with cowboy or rubber boots, zero makeup..that's the face I present to the world when not at work. Fashion implies style, popularity, and glamour.. things I with which I have nothing in common. Some fashion trends such as 80s big hair with the accompanying gallons of lacquer required to keep it in place have mercifully gone away. Other trends, such as wasp waisted corset wearing, we look back on with shock and a sense of distaste. A so called fashion trend that no one saw coming in 2020 was.... masks. Fashion trend? or necessity? Why not both, some would say.

Joe Exotic Chic
2020 certainly held an emergence of a million things that I’m certain that most of us would rather just forget. However, since the alteration of society’s new norms took over, I’d like to bring up one of those such occurrences for me.
