Iman once expressed a desire to remain timeless in a world driven by trends. Decades later, the fashion industry is more trend-focused than ever. While some trends, like animal prints, all-black outfits, and pinstripes, have stood the test of time, the sheer volume of fleeting fads can feel overwhelming.
With everyone chasing the next viral moment, almost anything can become a trend—from renaming basic nail polish colors to the so-called “old money aesthetic.” But not all trends are worth the hype.

Mini purses had their moment, but their impracticality has made them less appealing over time.
The Barbie-inspired craze took off before the movie, peaked during its release, and still lingers. At this point, the obsession with all things pink and plastic feels overdone.
And then there’s minimalism—did it really need a rebrand?
