What was once considered new to us, ends up being “banned” and turning into an anti-trend – it’s not news anymore. In addition to not being a novelty, it is simply impossible to keep up with the crazy speed with which fashion innovations replace each other! And it becomes difficult not only for us, simple lovers of fashionable discoveries, but also for those who make these same discoveries – the style icons. Stars, as a rule, “work” with them: they are always in sight, have access to the latest collections and personal stylists, so they have every chance to play the role of fashion barometers – to indicate where the breath is blowing from the wind of change.

Only with all the privileges can it be difficult to cope with fashion guide status. It is not difficult to miss something, but the haters will not miss the opportunity to pin the stars – they say, how is it, they are wearing something that is out of fashion for a long time! We are not going to rejoice in any case, but it is always worth learning from the mistakes of others – a tour of the anti-trends of summer 2022 will be offered to you by a practicing stylist Sabina Mukhotasova.

Let’s start with pajamas. The trend for them began to gain momentum from the forties and smoothly migrated into our everyday wardrobe. Virtually every brand, from mass market to luxury, has created different styles, fabrics and colors for their pajama novelties. Sets of pajama-like pants and shirts were on Kim Kardashian, the Hadid sisters, Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker and many other stars. Almost every it-girl in their everyday looks or on the red carpet, no, no, but tried to tame her pajamas.

Yes, it’s convenient, but okay, how much can you already? Therefore, sets that you yourself would mistake for pajamas, if not for the label, are tucked away in the back of the closet or worn home.

Thanks to subcultures such as hippies and punks, ripped jeans have appeared in our fashion arsenal. Currents themselves are no longer so popular, but jeans still remain at the peak of demand. Sometimes they look not just ripped, but even “torn”, and even 99% bare legs – but do they still perform the function of pants? Let’s agree: fashion shoots and deliberately expressive images for the paparazzi are one thing, but walking around the city is another. And jeans with holes are not included in “others”!

The waist bag – “beltbag” – was once worn by hunters and fishermen due to its convenience, after which it was appreciated by skiers and skateboarders. We have no doubts about the practicality of the bag, you can carry the necessary things in it and keep your hands free. And recently, a banana bag is found on all famous fashionistas, like Hailey Bieber or Kendall Jenner. But, unfortunately, not everything is convenient forever, and the hype around the belt bag has already died down. So this summer you can safely say “Goodbye” to the fanny pack.

Do you remember the recent cycling trend? All the world stars wear them, and not just to go to the gym or yoga. Cycling shorts were worn at fashion events with a jacket and high-heeled pumps, like Bella Hadid, or on walks in town, like Irina Shayk, with sneakers and a windbreaker. But the trend of cycling shorts has also ceased to be relevant, and if you don’t want to lag behind fashion, you should also ditch them this summer. It’s not the toughest anti-trend of the season, but it’s far from new.

But the brightest anti-trend of the summer can be called skinny jeans. This model has been considered irrelevant for several years now, and what exists – simply obsolete. And, probably, today you will not meet a single famous influencer in them. Even Emily Ratajkowski, Zendaya, and Kylie Jenner aren’t zealous with skinnies, even though they almost once lived there. But if you can’t help it and still want to dial in a look with skinny pants, choose a bulky or elongated top for contrast. In general, we highly recommend trying on cargo or mom jeans – you won’t want to swap them out for skinny ones!
