Hello and welcome back to The Extravagant! Today we will be reviewing 2022 trends in a "yay or nay" format. I was inspired by @roguearms/@iluvurfit (I forgot which one of them does these). So, let's get started!
bomber jackets: yay
I've been wearing bomber jackets since 2017, and I don't plan to stop now. I'm keeping an eye out for a cropped one.
military liner jackets: nay
I'm going to say nay, only because I'm not passionate about them. Maybe I'll reconsider if it was in a pastel.
@sarahtkhan808
mohair: yay
I love the texture it adds.
riding boots: nay
I need to be able to bend my feet in tall boots. I can't do that with flat riding boots. When it comes to tall boots, I need an inch or two of a heel. Nay, personally.

balletcore: yay
I love balletcore, but not the blondegirlwearingawraptopandleggingswithlegwarmersanduggs. Like the picture above, I prefer a loose interpretation of the trend.
Allina Liu - Persephone dress
sheer dressing: yay
Sheer can come in many forms, like mesh, lace, chiffon, crystal netting, and more. It's great for transitional weather and adds texture.

stars: nay
I liked it at the beginning, but now it's become too much. Do we really need a star patch on everything? It should be used in moderation. However, I still like stars in jewelry.
@cmeocollective
exposed seams: nay
It was fun while it lasted and will come back. People just got tired of the same pieces.
g-string: nay
I'm definitely not going to wear this anytime soon, but it's visually appealing. I don't like the actual underwear visible, but something like the pants above that have built in ones are cool.

y2k: yay
I probably won't leave the house looking like Paris Hilton, but I like adding small details to my outfits.
source unknown
long plaid skirts: yay
Great take on the classic plaid tennis skirt.
source unknown
furry legwarmers/boots: nay
It's giving Yeti and I'm not here for it.
ugg slippers: nay
They can cute, but I'll never want to buy them.
@isa.bella.ricci
fur hats: yay
It's giving Yeti and I'm here for it.
low-rise: nay
I trashed the kids in elementary school with their butt cracks on full display too hard for me to wear low-rise now. I'll stick to my mid-rise.
source unknown
balaclavas: nay
I love the post-apocalyptic feel, but it looks really weird in real life. The only way I'd wear them is the scarf-to-balaclava when it's freezing outside.
micro-mini skirts: nay
Yay in theory, but it's too small for me.
waistcoats: yay
It's super versatile and looks cool.
source unknown
cowboy boots: yay
Yay, but only paired with dresses, skirts, and shorts. I will not wear jeans tucked into cowboy boots.
source unknown
subversive basics: yay
It can't be too extreme or scandalous.
denim maxi skirts: yay
I'm thinking mid-rise, black, and simple paired with cowboy boots and a lacy top.
@megantrong
cargo maxi skirts: nay
Denim maxi skirts are my limit. The cargo ones low key look like a trash bag.
racer jacket: yay
It needs to be cropped and slim. If not, I'll pass.
heart lockets: yay
They're just a fun and affordable trend.
source unknown
ribbons: yay
I bought 3 rolls of them from Michael's and have not regretted my purchase.
clogs: nay
The early versions looked weird. Now I don't like them because I imagine how they will slap against my heel every time I take a step.
source unknown
knee socks: yay
I have a feeling they'll be the new legwarmers.
@avacadoutfit
platform uggs: nay
We don't need a platform version of every shoe. I'm also anti-uggs in general.
tabis: nay
I'm not into that horse-cosplay look.
Rachel Zoe A/W 2012
tumblr era: yay
If you read trends that have become staples, you would already know this.
feathers: nay
I can tolerate a feather trim, but a full ostrich outfit reminds me of Big Bird. If you want a lot of texture, you should go for fur.
From Miu Miu
ballet flats: nay
I love balletcore, but I'm not a huge fan of ballet flats. They make the bones in my feet look weird. I'd much rather go for a kitten heel.
opera gloves: yay
I'll love these until the day I die. They're so classy and easy to style.
bootcut: yay
They got a bad rep in my head because of the 2009 Children's Place jeans I had. Now that I have a pair of long ones that pile at my shoes, I'm all for them.
3D floral embellishments: yay
This is more of a 2023 trend, but I still like it. I could not find a single picture of what I am talking about, but if you're also invested in fashion, you know.
source unknown
chrome: yay
It's such a cool trend and chrome can be paired with any other color. Definitely yay.
source unknown
bubblegum pink: yay
Another color trend is bubblegum pink. This was the shade that got me back into pinks.
hardware bags: yay
The Balenciaga Le Cagole will go out of style soon, but I know for sure that other purses with hardware details will take it's place.
source unknown
newspaper trend: yay
It went in and out really fast, but I would still wear it.
That's it for today! Comment down below your favorite/least favorite trend this year. Make sure to like, subscribe, and spread the word. This will probably be the last post of 2022, so I hope you have a great New Year's party and start off 2023 strong.
