Fashion in 2019 was all about embracing old trends, some of which originally went out of style for a reason.
Celebrities, designers, and influencers wore accessories that were popular in the '90s, such as hair clips with words, scrunchies, and tiny sunglasses. Head-to-toe neon and chunky sneakers also looked cool but will hopefully be short-lived.
Keep scrolling for all the popular trends from 2019 that should disappear.
Dad sneakers became popular again after Balenciaga released its Triple S trainer.
After being popular in 2018, dad sneakers continued to reign supreme in 2019.
Celebrities often opted to wear chunky, unflattering shoes instead of sky-high heels, but television fashion stylist Cindy Conroy previously told Insider that these shoes "are on their way out."
Boiler suits were one of the biggest trends in the spring of 2019.
Influencers and celebrities wore denim versions, sleeveless styles with turtlenecks underneath, and even baggy boiler suits like Rihanna's look during Paris Fashion Week.
The fact that they're so easy to throw on is what made boiler suits popular, but the trend is dated.
Word hair clips from top fashion brands were hard to miss.
Hair clips with words that could fit any mood, like "extra" and "feels," were popular in 2019. High-end brands even released their own versions for those who wanted to show off their expensive accessories, but it's time to leave the trend in the past.
Biker shorts became way too popular thanks to the Kardashians.
Biker shorts were very popular in the '90s, and made waves again after Kim Kardashian West and the rest of her sisters started wearing them, according to Women's Wear Daily. While the shorts were everywhere in 2019, the trend is fading quickly, so don't expect to see them in 2020.
Wearing head-to-toe neon was originally popular in the '80s and '90s.
Walking out in your best neon outfit first started to rise in popularity in 2018 and continued to be popular through 2019.
Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Jenner embraced the trend before moving on to neutral colors instead.
PVC heels were popular, but they are uncomfortable to wear.
When Kanye West first released his Yeezy PVC sandals, it became an instant go-to shoe for celebrities. The infatuation with clear, transparent heels continued with the release of mules, flip-flop heels, pumps, and boots.
Now that people have realized just how uncomfortable wearing them can be, the trend will most likely not appear in 2020.
Scrunchies became popular again, and many people chose to wear them as bracelets.
Jason Momoa and Dakota Johnson both sported the trend in 2019.
Scrunchies were also on the wrists of every "VSCO girl" in 2019, but you can expect to see fewer of them in 2020 as the teen internet trend continues to fade.
Tartan suits are bold and often overpowering.
As a bold pattern, tartan can often be overpowering, resulting in it looking as if the suit is wearing you instead of the other way around.
Tie-dye was the trend that no one asked for this year.
Global fashion search platform Lyst reported that tie-dye was one of the fastest-growing search keywords of the year.
Big fashion brands like Prada, Proenza Schouler, and Stella McCartney showed collections filled with tie-dye, but considering not too many people have been spotted wearing the trend recently, chances are it won't be back in 2020.
Tiny sunglasses were everywhere despite how impractical they actually are.
Tiny sunglasses kept growing in popularity in 2019 despite the fact that they made no sense. Considering they don't actually protect your eyes from anything, you likely won't see the trend again in 2020.
Bamboo bags were the "it" accessory for influencers.
It doesn't matter if it came in pink, white, or natural bamboo, influencers were all over the "wooden" bag trend. Considering it isn't easy to just throw over your shoulder or put a lot of stuff into them, this bag probably won't resurface next spring or summer.
