Do you remember when everyone had an infinity symbol tattoo? Or the dog filter era? Or the snow boots? Or the statement necklaces?
From the quirky to cringeworthy trends, millennials have gone through it all. Millennials have seen trends come and go at lightning speed, and yes, we admit that some of the decisions were not ideal, but you have to admit that some of the trends still seem pretty cool even today…
Time to revisit the millennial world and vote on which trends are outdated.

Skinny Jeans
Someone once defined "fashion" as "something so awful that we have to change it every 6 months". Wear what's comfortable, suits you and appropriate for the occasion. Don't change just because someone you've heard of is wearing it.
It was Oscar Wilde, I believe, who said something along those lines.

I mean, as a Gen Z born in the 2000s… by all means, keep them! I prefer to wear what I find comfortable as well; and if you had asked me (which you didn’t), honestly, I also thought skinny jeans were still popular.
Load More Replies...Don't care, I hate those baggy jeans. Of course fits good for others and looks good on them, but not for me.
I'm the opposite. I have chubby thighs and thin everywhere else so I look like a frog or a chicken in skinny jeans. The baggier or even just straight leg jeans balance me out.
Load More Replies...I feel old. I remember us all cringing at the new ‘skinny jeans’ fad and wondering if we’d go back to the world of nut huggerz a la 1970’s and 80’s
So what WAS the effect of skinny jeans on millennials? I do remember when pliers were the fashion accessory for women to pull on jeans in the '90's.
Dreamcatchers
The Pouf
Do you know what a pouf is in French ? It can be wether : - an ottoman - a slur word for girl/woman lacking altogether class, manners, sense of fashion, likeability. Someone you don´t want to befriend / share space with. Probably the meanest thing a girl could say about another girl, cause saying it aloud to someone face would start a fight.
Ankle Socks
I only have ankle socks, and it won't change. Everyone should wear what's comfortable for them.
The Side Part
The way someone allows their hair to lie can become outdated?! Stfu, BP "writers".
The Laugh-Cry Emoji
I refuse to care which stupid cartoons are 'trendy' to use. I can communicate just fine with words thanks, I don't need to add a string of silly pictures after every communication, let alone worry about whether their current popularity. The sooner emojis die out the better for me.
What a terrible article. First, am sooo tired of defining EVERYTHING by generations. It's so dividing and abitrary. Second, WHAT is this list about anyway??? Many of those things have been around for a long time, so now they're trends? Says who? And third, do we really need to opinionate about ppl wearing headbands or whatever??? Sigh. OK I did not read all entries, maybe I missed something good.
Also some of these were very much linked to different areas of the world. The terminology and trends differ in that place outside of the US...the rest of the world.

I am considered an "elder Millenial" born in 1980, and everything I wore in high school, like crew socks, baggy jeans, a smoky eye, and the pouf were no longer cool. Went to ankle socks and finally got comfortable with skinny jeans and now they're out? Whatever, I'm gonna do what I like. I'm too old to care about trends. Just wear what makes you feel good- confidence is always in style and looks great on everyone.
I will wear all those outdated stuff combined so I will be trendsetter in 10 years again.. Here comes the superboomer I just don't care
