Tiger Print and Tie-Dye, My Oh My!
2020 in itself was tantalizing and traumatizing for every single person I know. Nobody came out of 2020 unscathed or unchanged in some way or another. I've decided to leave any *bad energy* behind me and am only looking forward to brighter and bigger things. Ridding myself of 2020 includes purging my closet of items that suddenly leave a bad taste in my mouth since quaratine life began.

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.

Holy 'Degrassi', This Fashion Trend Went There
If you were a 90’s kid, you may remember a fashion trend known as the “whale tail”. It debuted in Jean Paul Gaultier’s 1997 fashion show and is basically when someone wears a thong so it is visible on their back.

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.

Legging Bonfire
Can we puh-lease make a huge pile of Spanx and Lululemon? I realize this sentiment might culminate with my name on some kind of list as domestic terrorist, but hear me out.

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.

Fashion over
We often think that ‘fashion’ only suits the young people. As people get older they start to detach them from fashion, and style, and this makes them look older than their age. A long time ago, there were rules for women. Women had to follow a special trend to prove others that they are getting older now. They couldn't style up to look a little younger.
