Ripped jeans have been around for a few years now, and I probably should have ditched them a long time ago.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, the giant full leg holes or the many small horizontal slits were cool, but I think we should have realized we crossed a line when people were ripping the butt flap open.

This year, opt for straight blue jeans with no rips. They’re more versatile.

Wear them with a velour hoodie to walk around town, or dress them up with a blazer for a casual interview look. (Although, the way things are going, you probably won’t need those for the second one.)

Tie Dye

At the start of the pandemic, I hated tie dye, and now I hate tie dye again.

But in the middle, I really loved the trend.

While initially I thought it was extremely hard to style and specific to a very unique taste, I soon realized with the help of TikTok that it was a rather versatile print.

But that’s the thing, tie dye was reinvented so many times over the past few months, I think we need a few years to come back with some fresh ideas. For the time being, I’m keeping it in my costume closet.

Instead switch your rainbow-colored clothes for black, because goth is in 2021 as we mourn the passing of 2020. But honestly, this trend is so hype, and so versatile to different tastes.

Neon

Many have tried, but only Billie Eilish can pull off the trend in a way that makes it deserving of being seen.

And I get it, with festivals and clubs closed, everyone felt a strong pull to reach for your fish net lime green crop top to wear to your Sunday Service Zoom meeting. But there’s a reason we wear these clothes at music events, because it all blurs into normal.

So, if you are wearing neon right now, you are probably doing something you shouldn’t be during a pandemic.
