Worst Trends Of The Decade (PHOTOS, POLL)

While the past ten years had its fair share of stylish standouts, it still wasn't enough to counteract all those taut, tan, and toned bare midriffs (dangling navel piercings optional), daisy dukes, monogram handbags, Uggs, trucker hats, and one too many starlets famous for doing nothing. While the above are just a few of the fashion missteps that occurred in the past decade- luckily for you- we've compiled a complete list of all the trends we'd like to forget. See below for the best of the worst...

Bare Midriffs

Something that never looks classy no matter how you slice it, and is only made worse by the addition of a naval piercing (another potential worst trend of the decade).

Okay, we force all the women into Burhkas then the fashion critics will be happy. The religious fanatics can join them. Until that time though, I'm going to dream about bare, pierced midriffs, "Daisey Dukes" and undersized tops. Got to throw in a few tattoos while your at it too. Yeee Ha.
Forget those "Fashion Divas" with their "designer labels".

Definitely people famous for doing nothing. Seriously, they have no success of their own and are simply riding the coattails of their parent(s).

Performance wear as in Britney Spears picture doesn't count. That performance was infamous for it's sexuality and how great she looked. So, I would say that picture just is void.

I can't say I agree with the jean shorts for women. Plenty of women pull this off, looking great. It's not about looking put together. But more of looking relaxed and casual. Seeing a cheek isn't necessary, but Kate Moss has done so much with this look that I can't deny it. I think it's more of a body type that should wear this. Maybe it's just the skinny legs that make it look less..."b*tt in your face," but I always liked the look.

And yes, trucker hats are gross. And yes...bags with brands on them show a serious lacking in style. Just a blatant status symbol. You shouldn't have put LV up there though. You should have put Coach. That's the real culprit of Middle America. eck.

The designer label thing is the worst. How ever did Americans become such suckers they will advertise for companies like billboards. It's pathetic.

I agree the label thing is bad, but the worst is the "people famous for doing nothing" BY Far!

I love piercings. I lost my naval piercing about a year ago, and I can't wait to get it done again. Guess I'm out of style. Ooops :(

I think that skinny jeans on men should be at the top of the list.

I love my Uggs and my Crocs. Living in the Pacific Northwest, they come in handy. It's perpetually wet and cold.

I can only wear my Birks when it's not storming, if I want to spend the day with dry feet. What can I say? I'm a hippy. Happy New Year!

I love the uggs too!

Worst trend has to be the low ridder pants. Horrible. And wouldn't you know it the people who shouldn't wear them always squeeze them on. To be honest no one should wear them. What about the thong...wait that was a decade ago.

The new decade is trying to reintroduce the horrible leggings. OMG! Can't we go back to a little modesty. More is always better.

"Muffintops" should have made the list, for sure.

I have to disagree. Low rise jeans look way better than mom jeans.

They forgot those fake-faded jeans with the white stripes down the middle of their fronts. Gawd those are awful! Not to mention Crocs. And huge injected lips!

Those jeans are hilarious - they're "worn" in all the wrong places, like the person spent their time lying on their stomach or back all day.

How did platform shoes NOT make this list?

A woman showing her mid drift along with naval piercings, blonds and daisy dukes will always be hot. This article obviously doesn't have a guy's perspective.

I agree, and I'm not a guy

Oh C'mon I luv my warm toasted Uggs

They Forgot Ridiculously BIG INJECTED "LIPS"
That's the Worst!
