The only constant about fashion is its evolution. The scene changes constantly. One day you're shopping for fishnets and skirts; the next day, that's out, and acid-washed jeans are in.
One curious fashionista asked the internet which fashion trends will date clothes in five years.
1. Triangle Heels

While triangle heels are having a big moment right now, many fashionistas feel that this trend is already on its way out the door. While the heels are fun and unique, they aren't a classic addition to a wardrobe.
2. Asymmetrical Zipper Jeans

Asymmetrical zipper jeans may be hot right now, but they definitely have a short expiration date. This style of jeans has a zipper closure that is placed off-center or at an angle, rather than in the traditional centered position. Despite their current popularity, many commenters are already bashing this trend, calling the jeans, "Hideous. Pointless. Tacky. Awful."
3. Trouser and Blazers

According to several users, Millenials' business casual party clothes are Gen Z's trousers and blazers. The top-voted comment thread spoke about Gen-Z's infatuation with wearing fanciful trousers to clubs and a nice blazer over any article of clothing.
A Gen-Z-identifying user wrote between 2017 and 2020, they wore the same outfit for a school project, concert attire, and club-designated outerwear.
4. Low-Rise Jeans

Ah, yes. The low-rise jeans are not to be confused with jeans people wear low; instead, denim is crafted not to pass the hips. Denim so low you need to be careful where and how you sit. For a reason unbeknownst to me, low-rise denim is making a comeback.
Someone wrote that low-rise denim is acceptable in two instances, for slim bodies and for those striving to grasp what went through people's heads in the early 2000s.
5. High-Waisted Jeans

On the other side of low-rise jeans, we have high-waisted jeans. Denim you pull up to your stomach or chest if you want to exaggerate. A high-waisted jean enthusiast alleged these pants are best paired with form-fitting crop tops. Who knows? Will mom jeans retreat from the famous fashion scene in a few years?
If you like patterned clothing, you either hate or love checkerboard. There is no in-between. You might think it's too busy or like the ability to play chess on your own. Patterned clothing adorers and despisers were 50/50 in this thread.
One person claimed strange patterns are overworn, while someone else described patterns as "trippy oil spill patterns. On the other hand, somebody expressed their joy at the resurgence of these bizarre patterns.
7. Matching Sweatsuits

You've seen them at the gym. On the clothing rack in department stores. My favorite is seeing them in airports. Sometimes entire families dressed in matching sweatsuits get bonus points if they're flying to Disney.
8. Puffy Sandals

Several people think puffy sandals serve a specific purpose. A contrasting shoe image for an otherwise tidy-looking outfit. Think about it. A nice polo tucked into a pair of khaki slacks finalized with puffy, braided strapped sandals. Your outfit couldn't fall into the extensive catalog of forgotten fits.
9. Flares Above the Ankle
AHHHH! An ankle. This trend spotlights the ankle and the feet. For jeans or pants that flare above the ankle, you have the freedom to show off shoes otherwise hidden by long pants. If you have a pair of shorter flared pants, pair them with your favorite boots or sandals.
10. Shapeless Blazers

According to one user, shapeless blazers reached peak popularity in the 80s due to large shoulder pads, but the blazers today have no sense of personality or shape.
11. Bucket Hats

I will never stop wearing bucket hats. But, I agree they are not for everyone. I know avid hat wearers that groan at bucket hats and others who solely wear bucket hats. An anti-bucket hat Redditor remarked that bucket hats are ugly, while another user wrote that they would never place a bucket hat atop their head.
12. Crocs

Here's another personal favorite. Crocs. Uber comfortable sandals are perfect in all weather situations and almost any setting. I've owned a pair since I was five, and I will never betray the shoes that saved my feet at a music festival. No matter how many people gawk and guffaw.
