Even though fashion trends become popular, everyone should pay attention to what trend that we’ll regret later on. Croc shoes are the best example of regrettable trends. The footwear became pretty popular when they first came out because they’re primarily made for the comfort, not the look. I thought Crocs were the worst shoes to ever be made until I found Nike’s Jordan Heels.

Jordan Heels are exactly what it’s called, tie-up Jordan basketball shoes with a two-inch heel, with different styles, colors, text and textures available. Luckily, Jordan heels aren’t sold anywhere in town.

The only way to buy Jordan heels is online and the cheapest pair costs about $70. I’m not sure why anyone would pay that much for a pair of shoes that fail miserably at being fashionable and that will be known as a fashion mistake in time. Jordan heels are said to be really comfortable, but who cares if they’re comfortable if they don’t look good, heels are suppose to be sexy and they are not sexy.

I don’t know much about sports, but common sense tells me that no one should ever attempt to play basketball in them even though they’re “basketball” shoes. Not even the most fashionably crazy celebrity, Lady Gaga, would be caught dead in those shoes, though she does have a way of starting bad trends.

Lady Gaga wore many animal hats, from lobsters to a goat head made out of synthetic hair. I like her ballsy, outlandish fashion, but it’s always a hit or miss and the animal hats are definitely a miss.

I see quite a few people with animal hats on campus. I blame Gaga for starting the silly trend going around, but I also blame the on-campus clothing and accessory vendors for encouraging the wild trend.

Though the hats aren’t like Gaga’s glam-sparkle lobster, they’re more like a stuffed toy owl with its head cut off and worn as a hat.

Though the trend is already here, animal hats were featured in New York’s fashion week for ready-to-wear Fall 2011 collections. Since animal hats have been featured in fashion week, the trend will probably become even more popular.

Animal hats are a fairly new bad trend but there are still old trends that have been around for a while. Probably the worst and oldest bad trends are terrible patterns that are mixed and matched together.

Walking around campus and town I occasionally see eye-piercing outfits of too many patterns or the same pattern for tops and bottoms.

Stripes and plaid are usually the ones to be used too many times in one outfit, please don’t do this, it’s appalling fashion that will be regretted.Without a doubt basketball shoes with heels, wild animal hats and too many patterns will be some of the trends that we will look back on in 10 years, cringe, and say, “What were we thinking?”
