What Not to Wear in 2018
We loved them, we went overboard. It's time to let them go, and wait for them to make a reappearance, someday.
Off Shoulder Necklines
It sure flatters your neck and shoulders, but it's time to unglue your arms from your sides. We went really hard on this one, so now it's time to give it a rest!

Corsets
#12.0Kim Kardashian did it a lot, which meant Instagram models and high-street stores followed suit. This was fun but it's time to let it go. The belt variety will be first to go, followed, slowly, by dresses with built-in ties, because that's still kind of a novelty in a romance-novel kind of way.
Romphims
#22.0Why was this even in?
Bucket Hats
#34.0The resurgence of Kangols and their ilk seem to be more of a flash in the pan that will live to flash another day. But not next year, probably.
Bum Bags
#44.5A true fad that's got maybe one more festival season left in it before it runs out of gas in the middle of the desert in approximately October 2018.
Choker
#55.0Chokers are so 2016! Taylor Swift get choker trending back in the days and everyone started wearing bits of ribbon and shoelaces around their necks. But not for much longer, as evidenced by the choker's crossover into memes featuring neck braces. It's time to put those chokers away.
Festival Fringe
#65.0Remember pre-Coachella 2017? Festival-goers will simply not let their fringy halter tops and fringier crotch-length miniskirts go, but what now? We'd like this one to go because it's just such a trope, but the people decide when it comes down to it.
Baby Backpack
#77.0The tiny backpack had the two main factors required to make a comeback: nostalgia and enough distance for young people to think, "Hey, I'm too young to have done that the first time around". And once again, according to the circle of life, the charm is starting to wear off.
Bomber Jacket
#88.0Again, nothing against them, objectively — they've just run their course for the time being.
Off Shoulder Necklines
#98.0It sure flatters your neck and shoulders, but it's time to unglue your arms from your sides. We went really hard on this one, so now it's time to give it a rest!
Bucket Bag
#109.5The drawstring genus of bucket bags: Put in shallow (versus deep) storage, to be brought out for gigs or travel. The more structured, top-handle genus: Good for a while yet, though you might want to explore other shapes, either perfectly round (that would be a circle) or much more angular.
