Ugly fashion: controversial trends that will be relevant in 2024

In the world of fashion, trends come and go with amazing speed. However, not all trends are unanimously approved. Some of them become the subject of controversy and discussion among fashion fans. We at Joy-pup will look at a few of them and try to understand whether they are worth paying attention to or whether they are just passing whims of fashion.

Panties on display

Underwear has become public thanks to the Miu Miu brand, which has made women’s briefs one of the central items of the fall-winter 2023/2024 collection. The “no pants” trend involves wearing panties on the street over tights. These models are made of thick material and have a wider cut than regular underwear. This style seemed unsuccessful to some, and interesting and creative to others, but many stars and influencers picked up this controversial trend: Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid. Panties over tights could be seen not only in street style chronicles, but also on the red carpet.

Skirts over trousers

Skirts worn over pants are making a comeback as Y2K fashion continues to dominate. Back then, wearing skirts and dresses over trousers was considered eccentric, and many criticized this strange look. In 2024, not only major fashion houses, but also popular brands such as Zara will update the look of skirts with trousers. However, to successfully wear this controversial trend, it is important to respect the proportions between the body and clothing, creating harmony and contrast between the layers.

Colored tights

Instead of the usual black color, colored tights are gaining popularity in 2024. It is believed that this style is only suitable for children or stage performances. Bright tights require the wearer to have a clear understanding of the rules for combining colors in outfits in order to avoid ridiculous mistakes. You can be inspired by the style of supermodel Kendall Jenner, who skillfully combines tights and skirts of the same shade, creating a harmonious look.

Balloon jeans

Balloon jeans with a bulge in the middle that gradually tapers towards the bottom are one of the brightest denim trends of 2024, but it causes controversy among many. This style provides comfort during movement and gives a dynamic look, but also makes the silhouette too wide in the lower part of the body.

Slip dress

Satin slip dresses are one of the ever-controversial fashion issues because they have a boudoir style and are not suitable for street wear. The design created a stir in the 1990s, with many stars, such as Kate Moss, constantly choosing it for events or in everyday life. After several years of popularity, in 2024 satin nighties continue to be promoted by fashion houses, becoming one of the basic models for the hot season. The most popular combinations are with T-shirts, pullovers, sneakers or mules.
