From Mohawks to Nicki Minaj, 4 Fashion Fads That Should Die in 2009

Let’s face it. Every year we’re forced to deal with a number of cringe-worthy fads/trends that always seem eager to make it into the next year, and 2009 was no different. Trends can be fun for a little while, but at the end of the day wearing a pair of baby blue skinny jeans or rocking a rainbow friendly weave will only get you noticed in a bad way. Check out RefinedHype.com’s picks for the fads we’re most eager to say “peace out” too.

Skinny Jeans

It never ceases to amaze me how many guys are rocking skinny jeans like it became cool last week. Men’s jeans seemed to go from incredibly saggy to unbearably tight overnight. It’s like you guys have a think against being comfortable. What gives?

Pink/Blue/Green/etc. Highlights

Apparently a lot of ladies did not get the “You Are NOT Nicki Minaj!” memo. It’s bad enough that we layer our hair with pounds of weave. Now we’re throwing in random pieces of pink and blue-colored weave?! No, no, no. Let’s at least try and keep it somewhat natural.

Low-Cut Mohawks

Ah, the signature hair-cut for wannabe hipsters across the country, the low-cut Mohawk (with the occasional random designs on the side). Nothing says “look at me, look at me” better than a random strip of hair on top of you head. Only thing is, when they do look at you they’ll be looking at a poser.

One Painted Nail

Before I even go in on this fad I must admit that I have personally given into this trend. At the time it seemed kinda cute to paint that one lone fingernail fluorescent pink while my other fingernails sported a black polish. Now, I realize it was for the most part kind of stupid. It doesn’t look cute, it just makes you look hella indecisive. Pick a color!
