Fashion is a beautiful thing and we all love to express ourselves with what we wear. But as time passes, so do fashion trends. Fleetingness is after all the prerequisite for a trend. Some just last a bit longer than others. And some, like jelly shoes, come back to haunt us.

4. Bandanas as tops
I’m guilty of this fashion fail you guys, it’s one of those “what was I thinking?” moments. As a scarf, yes, but not as a top. Use a crop top for that.
5. Sneaker wedges
Is it a sneaker, is it a wedge? Great for comfort and adding a bit of height, yet this sporty trend lasted only for a mere moment.
