Some great person said it once, “fashion was supposed to make you feel good, while you are slowly dying inside”. That’s what horrible and horrendous trends do to us, we are left for the sake of looking good while feeling shitty inside. From plucking your facial hair to waxing your body hair, I mean what is it with women having smooth skin? Whom are we fooling with the generic idea of how women do not have any hair on their body? And that’s just the starting, there are dozens of trends and things that are in-style which requires us to go through so much pain and distress.
1. High Heels
The magic of high heels is not obscure to anyone out there, they give a sudden boost to your confidence and your life (in general). Christian Louboutin says, “High Heels are pleasure with pain”, he also says, “I would hate for someone to look at my shoes” and say “Oh My God! That looks so comfortable”. Thanks Louboutin for making us realise that the art to look good is to sacrifice your feets and soul to pain.
2. Shapewear
Shapewears are there to help us outshine our bodycon dresses without a single trace of fat bulging out from anywhere. Now, in order to disguise your fat you have to wear this shapewear which squeezes you in from all the different direction to such an extent that eating, let alone breathing can be done successfully.
3. Skinny Jeans
The kind of problems that one suffers from, after wearing skinny jeans for too long is so serious that they have an actual condition after it, with all the names and doctors and all. Compartment Syndrome, is a condition from which one suffers after having pressure in confined bodyspace, which skinny jeans causes. So darling, let your legs feel some air for their own safety.
4. Strapless Bra
If you felt that bras were distressing in general, than my dear friend meet the deadliest of them all, that is strapless bra. There are way too many things that can go wrong while you are selecting a bra for your strapless dresses, from the band being too narrow to it being too loose. The whole physics and Math that goes behind the functioning of this bra is too much and let’s be honest, it still sucks.
5. Corsets
While we are lucky that we didn’t had to go through the age of deadly corsets and tiny waistlines (which is still in fashion) that one can achieve from them, there is no denying that Kim Kardashian’s waist training methods from corsets are a new rage. The whole idea is somehow bogus to me, I mean training your waist to appear tiny, are you serious? That is your waist not some dog that you need to train.
6. Artificial Long Nails
Girls with long nails would truly support me on this that, the victim of long nails (most of the time) is the bearer herself. Apart from the scars that one get due to the sharpness and length of nails, there’s this relatively new concept of artificial nails. These are the fake or plastic nails that are glued on to your original nails with super hard glue for longevity, that destroy the original one completely.
These were just some of the trends that we followed in past and are still following just for looking good and feeling not-so fab.
