Trendy or strange?

Every year there are some trends that burst on to the scene but disappear just as quickly. Then there are those that keep coming back. Fashion from the last century that just won't go away.

Sometimes these trends are fully accepted and at other times subject to ridicule.

Here are some fashion fads that are sure to have you wondering how they became trends in the first place. If you look in the mirror, you may realise that some of them have hit close to home!

• Feather skirts
• Nerd glasses
• Chiney bumps
• Gold teeth
• Three-colour wigs
• Rosary chains
• Sequins
• Women in Desert Clarks
• Men in tight shirts
• Coloured contacts
• Sheer leggings that highlight underwear.

Some trends are best left in their era, and should never find their way into the 21st century. Others should have just remained a thought.
