Finding a great clothing gem to bring back a nice touch of nostalgia can truly make an outfit; however, we equally recognize that some trends die out for a reason. If on the off chance you are out there somewhere in the present still trying to revive one of the following faux-pas of our nation’s past, just stop please, stop.Hammer Pants This unique style of pants are fitted from the knee down but allowed to balloon out in baggy form throughout the loose crotch and thigh area. Taking their name from M.C. Hammer, the rapper popularized the style throughout the United States in the late 80′s and early 90′s, with out-of-this-world dance moves that were complemented by his wild attire. Taking Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This” lyrics quite literally, when wearing hammer pants, members of the opposite sex will have no problem with no touching, so go ahead and quit the pants, no matter how legit you are.Platform Shoes Unless you live in Spice World, that’s right, the Spice Girls‘ movie, there is simply no justifiable reason lace up a pair of lifted leg-extensions. Aside from the fact that they look ridiculous, platform shoes also pose a legitimate health hazard, breaking more ankles per calendar year than Philip “Hot Sauce” Champion (of And 1 Mixtape fame).Women’s Shoulder Pads In today’s stylized society, the only people who should be wearing shoulder pads are guys dating models, not women who want to look like one (as in Tom Brady and his fellow football playing brethren). Women’s shoulder pads were by no means a form of athletic equipment, merely a small layer of fabric-covered foam or cushion used give the appearance of having broader shoulders, masking the slope. The trend began in the 1930′s, rising to peaks of widespread popularity in the 40′s and 80′s, though the presence of shoulder pads in women’s clothing has continued in at least a small selection of items across various decades.
