Boomers Need To Realize These Dated Fashion Trends Just Aren’t Cool

Floral Patterns

Unless you want to look like a grandma from the 1960s, don’t even try to wear floral patterns. These prints are tricky to pull off, and unless you do it perfectly, it’s best to not even try. Depending on the print, you can look wider or slimmer. As one Reddit user puts it, “I really like flowers and things with nature. I just really don’t like floral print clothing. They don’t really match any occasion and they look very tacky. You can’t really wear anything else with a floral print shirt, dress, or pants.” If you want simple fashion, don’t even pick up the floral print (via Reddit).

Capri Pants

Do you remember wearing capri pants? The trend started in the 1960s and even made its way to the early 2000s. Nowadays, no one is caught wearing their capri pants unless they are a boomer. They make your body look short and wide and sit awkwardly on your leg. It’s better to just wear pants that sit well on your body and either reach your ankle or your knee (via Reddit).

Ripped Jeans

For some reason, people love buying jeans that are already damaged and ripped. Even though it might give you an edgy look, what’s the point? Isn’t it better to spend that money on decent jeans that’ll actually keep your legs warm, and won’t threaten to rip more? Some unpopular opinions on Reddit agree, saying, “I hated them since I first saw someone wearing one in the early 2000s and I was shocked and appalled that they made a comeback. Not only do they look bad they also defeat the purpose of wearing pants in the first place which is to keep the lower half of your body from being soiled, especially your knees. If you’re okay with your knees or calves touching dirt just wear shorts, not half-completed pants for aesthetic purposes.” Keep the ripped jeans at home with the angsty teens (via Reddit).
