I’ve been thinking a lot lately about all the times I jumped on a style trend,convinced it was *the one*,only to look back a few months later and cringe. Remember when everyone was rocking those oversized, brightly colored sunglasses that looked like they belonged on a cartoon character? Yeah, I had a pair. And the less said about my brief foray into aggressively ripped jeans, the better.The biggest lesson I’ve learned from these fashion faux pas is the importance of understanding my own body type and personal style versus blindly following trends. Something that looks amazing on a celebrity or influencer doesn’t automatically translate to looking amazing on me. Now, I try to focus on classic silhouettes and fabrics that flatter my figure, and incorporate trends more subtly – maybe a trendy color in a classic cut, rather than a fully trend-driven outfit.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? What’s the most regrettable trend you ever embraced, and what did you learn from it? It’s amazing how cringey past selves can be, but hopefully, we’re evolving!
