Every season, the fashion industry brings new trends to us. However, models who don the outfits on the runway don’t always feel comfortable wearing unconventional clothes, high platform shoes, or accessories that are impractical for everyday life.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything like to watch new trends but want to figure out whether they are really suitable for everyday life.

Fur bucket hats

Though fur bucket hats were not the main trend of last and this year, they still remained popular in the fashion world. Rihanna was spotted wearing one several times. Hailey Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian were also noticed to be their fans. Surely these accessories are stylish and non-trivial, but they are not suitable for a cold season from a practical point of view.

Micro bags are as cute as impractical. Some of them are so tiny that they won’t even fit a mirror, not to mention a mobile phone. At the same time, they cost as much as ordinary bags.

One needs to try hard to come up with something more impractical than shoes with pointed toes. Every woman will confirm that walking in these shoes is real torture.

Clothes with wide shoulders

Wide shoulders, so loved by many designers, are quite tricky. One should be very careful when choosing clothes with this silhouette to not accidentally turn into a walking closet.

Leggings made of latex or leather emphasize literally all the curves of the body and can turn even the smallest imperfection into a real flaw. Also, one should possess impressive flexibility and a team of assistants to be able to pull them on yourself. Kim Kardashian is one of such strugglers.

Thigh high boots

Bright patent leather over-the-knee boots look fresh and stylish only at a fashion show. In life, such shoes can play a cruel joke, bringing unnecessary vulgarity to the look. People with small and petite body shapes should also careful of such models: the shimmer of patent leather and a bright color breaks the proportions of the body, as happened in the case of Mila Kunis.

Oversized clothes

Due to its practicality, oversized clothing has finally and irrevocably won the hearts of many girls. But often such things look stylish only on models with chiseled figures, while ordinary women can be turned into shapeless bags. In order to avoid the latter, make sure to opt for an outfit maximum 2 sizes bigger than yours and remember to enhance your waist or leave some parts of your body (shoulders, legs) nude to prevent your silhouette getting lost in the layers of fabric.

Sport-luxe type of outfits

Sport-luxe clothes came to the runways right after sneakers, and according to some designers, these clothes can be worn with high heels and elegant bags. However, if athleisure clothing looks ok on runway models, the combination of sports and chic in everyday life causes many questions.

Fur slippers

Fur slippers are good for wearing at home and on the runway but not outside. This footwear gets dirty very fast and loses its original look after washing. The conclusion is: fur slippers are not the best purchase.

Palazzo pants

Palazzo pants that Coco Chanel loved so much undoubtedly look very elegant but are absolutely not suitable for city life. Thanks to their impressive trouser legs that completely cover the shoes, they can accidentally turn the wearer into a free street dust cleaner.

Combination of shoes and socks

Socks worn with shoes is a fashion trend that only bold ones dare to don. And we seem to know why — this combo will draw many curious looks from passers-by as well as common misunderstandings.

Micro skirts

Last year, the bare-legged mini skirts made a triumphant comeback, appearing on the catwalks of Chanel, Versace, Missoni, and Miu Miu. The miniskirt first gained popularity in the ’60s and ’70s as playful and even provocative clothing. But the fashion industry didn’t stop there, and it soon showed a new type of skirt, shortened at the top and bottom, and dubbed the low-rise. It was named the microskirt. Of course, they look very nice on the runway but it would be very uncomfortable to sit down or even walk wearing such a skirt in everyday life.

Fashion magazines keep showing us beautiful photos of fashion shows from all over the world. As viewers, we most often admire the words of famous designers, adding some wardrobe items or accessories to our wish lists. But before getting something featured on the runway, one should think whether it will be comfortable to wear in our daily life. Which of the latest trends do you consider unsuitable for everyday wear?
