5 Outrageous 2018 Trends from Latex to Micro Sunglasses
Even the most outrageous trends in fashion are ones we just have to give a try at some point. And even those we know we’re going to leave many of them behind as we enter 2019, we still don’t regret slipping into many. There were head-turning, questionable, and even downright odd looks in rotation for 2018, but it's our belief that polarizing looks keep fashion interesting. So, in an effort to take stock of the past year, here are the most outrageous fashion trends that we’re glad we tried in 2018 …even if we never plan to try them again!

This one was a head-turner, to be sure. But the '90s plaid-on-plaid trend is going to take a backseat next season. If you're a fan of the print, don't fret: we’re still going to be incorporating much of these pieces into our wardrobe for months to come…just maybe not all at once!

Just as we were getting used to bike shorts, the denim version may be on its way out for the coming year (it certainly had a good run thanks to one Gigi Hadid). Bike shorts in fabrics like spandex and nylon are a safe wardrobe bet for 2019.

Gone are the days when everyone clamored to pile their belongings in a transparent bag. The shopping bag-reminiscent styles are officially on their way out, with leather handbags on deck to replace them.

Matrix-esque glasses were everywhere this year, from the runway to the sidewalk to the stage, but we've seen the last of the sight-obscuring style. Next up? Sunglasses in fuller shapes that harken back to the '70s.
5/7Latex
Whether you actually tried to the trend or just considered it, latex was undoubtedly a party staple this year. With the dawn of 2019 though, we'll see the signature style much less, with leather look items popping up instead.

For this one, let us just start off by saying: we’re still a little obsessed. That said, every color trend has to give way to a new one eventually, and the New Year might just be this hot pink hue’s time to step aside. Top replacement contenders include lavender, orange, and red.
