Japan is known for having some of the most eccentric fashion trends in the world. And this one is no different. Called Manba, this is a fashion trend that has become wildly popular among teenage Japanese girls who date men with a Minstrel Show fetish. The trend basically consists of having dark skin and using heavy makeup – which is odd, considering the more elegant standards of beauty among Japanese women.
Manba lovers paint their whole faces in a dark brown tone, contour their eyes with bright white paint, and dye their hair a million different colors. Oh, and we forgot the heavy pastel-color makeup and dayglo outfits.
Plastic Handbags Make a Comeback
We all had a see-through handbag at one point or another, didn't we, ladies? Well, they've been making a big comeback since 2018. While these handbags do have a unique quality to them, there are certainly more environmentally friendly options.
Besides, we're not really crazy about having every single passerby see what we have in our bag.
Eeek!
Originally from the Netherlands, this is a trend we wouldn't recommend trying at home. The eyes are usually a part of the body that's ignored in fashion, and apparently, the Dutch decided this had to change. In what seems like an absolutely terrible idea, this crazy eye jewelry is a new technique that involves small studs (made from metal) being inserted into the eye.
This trend started in the Netherlands more than eight years ago, and while the Dutch say it's a perfectly safe procedure, eye doctors around the world strongly disagree. People, no fashion trend will ever be worth risking your health for. Ever!
Don't Be Foiled!
Sure, foil is great insulation material...for food and NOT for clothing! We can just hear the "crinkle crinkle" sound the wearer of this garment would make with even the smallest arm movements. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/guest-is-seen-wearing-black-pink-down-feather-puffer-jacket-news-photo/1199237711
We guess there's no harm in wearing a bright pink foil down jacket as long as there's some foil left over in our kitchen!
Fly Away Pants
We wonder if instead of "apple bottom jeans" lyrics in the hit T-Pain song "Low" were replaced with, "She's got them feather bottom jeans." Hmm just doesn't sound right. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/yasmin-von-schlieffen-nannen-seen-wearing-a-dark-blue-coat-news-photo/1395326413
We suppose if you've ever wanted the power of flight, these pants may be the closest thing to it?
