Not only Fashion Week, and the Fashion Week post-season, but plenty of the trends brought to by our pals in the industry. In this, our last update for the season, we of About.com Style bring you the Trends We Are Officially Over:
Cynthia Nellis, Guide to Women's Fashion:
I'm so over harem pants and they haven't really even hit it big yet.
Here's my "over" list. Hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings if you still love (or wear) this stuff. I'll try to be gentle:
Mine, of course, are all tattoo-related: I'm SO OVER tribal tattoos and Chinese character tattoos.
Of course, even though I don't write about this stuff, I'm also SO OVER heavy eyeliner, low-waisted pants that create the muffin-top effect, dorky slogan tees, and Paris Hilton-huge sunglasses!
Daniel Billett, Guide to Men's Fashion:
I wanted to pipe in with one thing that I’m WAY OVER, even before it began….vibrating mascara. It's a rip-off for one, and if you can't manage to wiggle the mascara wand a little bit to save you $10-$20 then stop wearing mascara. Seriously, you could take that extra money that you dish out for the gimmicky vibrating mascara and put it toward a kickin' pair of shoes or boots!
Rachel Hagan, Guide to Handbags:
I think clear bags, neon shades and anything real summery, like straw pieces are over...at least for fall!
Jen Adkins, Guide to Skin Care:
It has barely begun and I'm already over fall's trend of black lips. I mean really? Black?
Alexis Webster, Guide to Budget Style:
I am over the shootie (In particular, the oxford shootie). I am also over people wearing scarves around their necks with tank tops. Is it cold or not? Make up your mind! Argh!
As for me, your humble editor, I'm over anything that doesn't fit, doesn't flatter, or costs so much you can't afford to out anywhere to be seen in it.
Until next season, good travels! May your hems stay hemmed and your waistlines never bind. And remember: Just because everyone else jumps into the gladiator sandal, doesn't mean you have to.

Here's my "over" list. Hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings if you still love (or wear) this stuff. I'll try to be gentle:
- Maxi dresses.
- Babydoll and tent dresses.
- Gladiator sandals.
- Both extremes of denim -- either super skinny or super wide and high-waisted.
Mine, of course, are all tattoo-related: I'm SO OVER tribal tattoos and Chinese character tattoos.
Of course, even though I don't write about this stuff, I'm also SO OVER heavy eyeliner, low-waisted pants that create the muffin-top effect, dorky slogan tees, and Paris Hilton-huge sunglasses!
Daniel Billett, Guide to Men's Fashion:
- Ditto the Paris Hilton giant sunglasses but they look even more ridiculous on boys.
- Ditto on the super skinny jeans.
- Short shorts for boys (they might look OK on a flawless model on the runway but in person they are so not right)
- High gloss shoes. What's up with that?
- Huge, Wilma Flintstone beads.
- 1970s big-print fabrics.
- Italian charm bracelets (the traditional-link kind.)
- Big, bulky waterfall and bib necklaces, I don't care who's wearing them.
- Capri Sun package purses.
- The one-piece sweater vests/blouses that everyone wears to the office.
- Sarah Palin glasses on Midwest moms (Tina Fey already took care of this trend two years ago!)
- Those potato-sack shirts that have drawstrings at the bottom. (Name? Anyone? Someone gave me one of these...I felt like I was supposed to stick a pillow in there and pretend I was 7 months along.)
- Haphazardly slashed t-shirts that conjure up images of the trailer park.
- HUGE belts, and their cousin, the Texas-sized belt buckle.
