Don't Let the Mullet Skirt Hit You on its Way Out
Don't Let the Mullet Skirt Hit You on its Way Out
Sometimes we get mixed up. Trends seem like a cute idea, a wink of sartorial playfulness. And it's only in retrospect that we realise the error of our style ways! What were the worst fashion crimes of 2012? Our friends in the fashion blogosphere weigh in.
High-Low, it's time to go!

Niki Blasina, A Haute Mess
Mullet (high-low) dresses. Once upon a time I enjoyed them myself, but like the haircut, their time is up!

I was really dismayed with crop tops came back into fashion – I wasn’t allowed to wear them as a teenager and, looking back, I was so glad my mom forbid me to take part in such an unflattering trend. Although they are much more stylish this time around, I still don’t think that bare midriff is ever fashionable!
Cammi Pham, Cammilicious
Uggs....they are not shoes. I don't care how comfortable they are, they don't look good. Another one is crop tops -- they look bad on pretty much everyone.

Prints Alert!
Prints Alert!
Louise, The F Word Online
Bold prints! Prints can be incredibly distracting and often look like a wrapped up rug if it's not worn properly.

With very few exceptions, high-waisted pants and short rompers should just be banned forever (unless you’re a newborn...then onesies are completely acceptable).

Leggings! Why would a woman ever be caught in public wearing them is beyond me!

Gothic Black, Go Back!
Gothic Black, Go Back!
Alexandra Grant, To Vogue or Bust
All the nouveau gothic black. Black is a wardrobe essential but I'd rather do elegant black pieces; I don't do gothic-chic well!

Cara McLeay, A Fashion Love Affair
I can't wait to see the end of Ugg Boots...so bad!

Jennifer Pistor, Prairie Girl in the City
Being a girl who wears print in moderation, I’d have to say the head to toe printed pant suit. There are very few who can pull it off, and even then I’m not so sure.

We accept that these are not going away any time soon, but could someone please tell us how to complement these fashion-forward drop-crotch/hammer pants?
