Wallet chains, cargo pants, and anything from Hot Topic - sound familiar? Despite what you might think, it’s not your long lost back-to-school shopping list from 7th grade. As a matter of fact, the only list these things belong on is a list of things to throw away. Alright, that's a little harsh. Regardless, we just can’t help but look back at these once coveted trends and think, ‘What the hell were we thinking?’

It's really easy to make mistakes when it comes to what's trending. Some styles are worth trying, others not so much. But how do you know what to avoid? You have two options, you can take shots in the dark and fake it 'til you make it or read guides like ours and get some expert advice. You can also see what the cool kids (aka influencers) are wearing on social media, but that's a double-edged sword. What works for one doesn't work for all, i.e. the ugly sneaker trend.

To help you out, we decided tackle a list around one of our favorite trends - camo. It's cool, sleek, timeless, and has year-round style. Just don’t get caught up in the Christian Audigier for Ed Hardy styles boasting gaudy embellishments, tigers, or nonsensical proverbs (we warned you). Instead, check out our list of camouflage favorite's for a little guidance and a lot of style. You’ll thank us later.
