There are a few things, but a lot of trends depend on the person wearing the item; some people should jsut not wear stuff no matter how fashionable it is, example is skinny jeans on a fat person.
For general trends I would liek to see go away:
- The eight year old girl as a 21 year old woman and looking for a guy look.
- skinny jeans on a guy, the whole accessorized, hipster, or what ever look that some guys have.
- The whole ghetto hip-hop look, mainly the sagging pants and wearing three or four shirts at the same time in roder to make them selves look like they have more muscle.
- Layering tops or what ever it is women do, when they will wear three different shirts at the same time.
- It is possible to sew pants the right length, no need to wear them too long where they drag on the ground.
- Hats being worn sideways, I think that got old quick, and refer back to accessorized guys.
- Men t-shirts on women, looks ridiculous.
One thing I do not understand is the criticism towards guys wearing shorts and sandals.
For those of you who included capris on your list, I am curious why you dislike them. As a woman with the misfortune to have ugly varicose veins, especially behind my knees, capris are a staple in hot weather. No way would I (or SHOULD I) go out in public in shorts. Long pants are hot in 95 degree weather! But capris, or ankle pants, especially with cute shoes or sandals, and I feel like I'm stylin'!!!!

I think that bled over from another thread we had on older women dressing in ways that make them look even older. Too many middle-aged or mature women rely on capri pants as a wardrobe staple. If they are tall or thin, capris look cute. But if they're like 5'4" and chubby, capris just make them look more stocky, stubby, and "boxy." Especially when they do the capris-with-sneakers thing. If someone "mature" wears capris with shoes and socks, they just look frumpy and old. With heels or ballet flats, they can look stylish, but that also have to be the right length. Too many older women wear capris that are too long, so they just look like floods.
Plus, they aren't just wearing them as a substitute for shorts in summer, which I would understand, but all year round. Then some like to loudly complain that the capris keep them cooler when they have hot flashes. Sorry, but I'm one of those people who are always hot, but it's never my ankles or calves that are hot! There's no way (except mentally) that capris are going to ease someone's hot flash, which is mostly in the upper body.
Anyway that was the back-story on the negative comments about capris. A very nice fashion statement when done right, but one that is done badly way too often.
Pea coats. They have been in style way to long.
Bubble Coats.
Army gear. It should only be worn by those in the Army.
Pick up trucks.
sleeveless shirts.
Pea coats have been sold by Brooks Brothers for both men and women as a conservative fashion staple for over 60 years.
Pea coats are not trendy but were simply picked up on by the lower classes for a short time.
To say that Pea coats are a trend is like saying button down oxfords and Bass Weejun penny loafers are a trend where they are actually icons of the well heeled community.

I think the real problem is, most capris are cut horribly. I saw a woman with super baggy capris the other day, it is very hard to make that look cute. And then there are the horrible ones that are baggy in the thigh and taper at the calves. Or the ones that are tight on the thigh and boot cut at the bottom.
You need to work with your leg and ankle shape carefully. I can't do capris without looking silly, but I can do cigarette pants cut above just above the ankle or bermuda shorts. So I skip those wide legged in between fits, they don't flatter my leg at all (I've got long legs, thick thighs, muscular calves and skinny ankles.)
And then to top it off, most people (who don't look great in the capris) pick the absolutely wrong shoes. Ankle socks + tennis shoes make capris look frumpy on anyone. Just about everyone can do ballet flats or driving shoes with capris...
