13 Style Trends We Hope Disappear in 2013
2012 had a very distinct style to it — some good (colored jeans, oxblood lips, leather accents, etc.) and some, inevitably, not as good (neon hair, over-the-top prints, couture pajamas, etc.).
Here are 13 style trends that I hope disappear (or at least quietly diminish) in 2013:

-
Ombre + Dip-Dyed Hair
The time has come and passed for ombre hair — only because it was so big in 2012 that it's almost over-done. And although plenty of celebs (and non-celebs) had fun with neon dip-dyed hair (a colorful ombre, if you will), I'm hoping it's out of everyone's system by now. Again, a little over-done for 2013.

Leggings as Pants
This was not a strict 2012 trend, nor will it completely disappear in 2013 — but a girl can hope. I see this over and over and over again — the cropped top and leggings. Under a dress? Perfect. Wearing a long tunic that covers your behind? Sure. But the T-shirt and leggings look looks immature at best and vulgar at worst. Let's move on, ladies.

Meggings
WHAT is happening here? At the end of 2012, "meggings" became a thing — and it's gaining momentum. What do you think? Are you attracted to the male leggings?

Super Shiny Skinnies
While I'm all for the faux-leather look, and I actually do think this can look good on a certain body type, I'm hoping this 2012 trend doesn't get any bigger in 2013. I really don't want to see shiny skinny jeans taking over the department store racks, only because most people will find the look unflattering.

Spiky Spikes
A little edgy accent here and there is fine, but holy spikes in 2012. The trend quickly jumped from studs to spikes, and they took over everything — shoes, bags, jewelry, etc. I'd love to tone it down in 2013 and stop being afraid that your shoes will puncture my skin.

The Pajama Trend
This trend ranged from wearable smoking slippers to full-out pajamas in public. Celebrities like Jessica Alba wore pajamas on the red carpet, and designer after designer sent couture pajama pants down the runways. I applaud the efforts to make fashion comfy, but this was a little...strange.

Lensless Glasses
What is this trend about? Apparently it's big in Asia right now, and more celebrities started wearing them in 2012.

Suspender Tights
Made famous by celebs like Rhianna and Paris Hilton, I have to say, for me, suspender tights are more crude than cute.

Heel-Less Shoes
These Giuseppe Zanotti heel-less platforms caused quite a stir in 2012 — as did other similar mind-bending shoes that popped up on the market. Not just a runway idea, these bad boys were on the feet of many fashionista women, willing to defy logic and sanity. While they are, in fact, wearable, I say no thanks. My ankles thank me.

Festive UGG Boots
By now you know that I am not an UGG fan, and I get it — they're warm and they're comfy and they're not for fashion. But these? These are ridiculous. Stop it. Stop it now.

Hair Chalk
A fun summery trend for 2012, I think it's best to leave hair chalk as a pleasant memory. Unless, of course, you got caught in a rain storm. Or you didn't particularly like the feel of dry, matted hair. In that case, the memory isn't all that pleasant.

LOUD Pants
Pants can't get much crazier than the over-the-top designs seen everywhere from Forever21 to J.Crew. 2012 was the year of the statement pants — and a statement they were. This trend very well might bleed over into 2013 (especially with animal prints), but here's to hoping it's a toned-down version.

Electric Blue Eyes
Jewel-toned eyes were extremely popular in 2012, and as much as I love purple and jade as a pop of color, the electric blue straddled the line between "trendy" and "trashy."

HAHAHAHAHA. I agree! Most of these should go AWAY and NEVER come back. Lensesless glass, why? Goodbye! “Meggings” really? Hilarious but no thank you! Heeless shoes are kind of creepy, ba-bye!
