Fashion trends change every year, and with them, the potential for danger some of them can bring. While dressing well is important, it’s also important to be aware of some of the most dangerous fashion trends that can put your health at risk.

Here are the top 30 most dangerous fashion trends of 2015 that you should avoid or use with caution.

1. Super Tight Jeans

The trend of super-tight jeans has been around for a while but has gained momentum in 2015. These pants can be harmful to your health as they can restrict blood flow and cause tingling, pain, or numbness in the legs.

Tight-fitting jeans can also lead to muscle cramps and varicose veins.

2. High Heels

High heels are a fashion favorite, but they pose a risk of injury and can lead to long-term health complications. Some of these health risks include lower back pain, knee, and ankle sprains, bunions, and Achilles tendonitis.

For instance, when you wear high heels, your toes will be squeezed tightly that may result in a condition called ‘hammer toe’.

3. Oversized Bags

Oversized bags have been in fashion for a while now, and they are quite useful. However, they can also be dangerous as they tend to overload with things that aren’t necessary. Oversized bags can cause back problems and even affect your posture.

4. Skinny Belts

Skinny belts may look fashionable but they can be dangerous. They can squeeze the natural waist to an abnormal measurement and cause bowel obstruction and internal organ damage.

5. Waist Trainers

Waist trainers or waist cinchers are used under clothing for slimming effects. They use pressure to compress your stomach, reduce bloating, and create a slim appearance.

However, they can be harmful as they can cause organ damage, acid reflux, and breathing problems, and can worsen existing gastrointestinal disorders.

6. Heavy Earrings

Heavy earrings can be cute but they can also be dangerous. They can stretch and damage earlobes and even cause ear infections. If you are a fan of heavy earrings, avoid wearing them for a long period, and choose lightweight options whenever possible.

7. Platform Shoes

While platform shoes may look stylish, they’re also a recipe for falls and twisted ankles. They have a high midsole which can make them difficult to control and balance, causing you to fall when you’re not careful.

8. Ripped Jeans

The trend of ripped jeans is popular among young people. However, it’s best to wear them with care. If the rips are too large, they can expose your skin to the sun, causing sunburn or skin cancer. They can also chill your legs on a cold day.

9. Heavy Necklaces

While heavy necklaces are sure to add an extra glitz to your outfit, they can cause neck pain and lead to poor posture. Over time, your neck muscles will weaken, and you may even develop neck strain as a result of constantly wearing heavy necklaces.

10. Extremely Tight Clothing

It is perhaps obvious that tighter clothes can be risky for you. The tight clothing can cause skin irritation, and in some cases, the continuous tightness can cause breathing problems and circulatory difficulties.

It can also lead to back pain, muscle strains, and even gastrointestinal problems.

11. Flip Flops

Flip flops are a summer favorite, but they shouldn’t be worn for long periods. They have a flat sole and no arch support which can lead to heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and lower back pain.

Flip flops can also lead to trips and falls, especially on uneven surfaces.

12. Leggings as Pants

Leggings are a comfortable and trendy option and are an excellent alternative to pants in some cases. However, wearing them as pants may not be the best idea at all times. They can sometimes be too sheer, causing underwear lines to show.

They also don’t offer much in terms of structural support, which can lead to muscle and joint pain.

13. Scarves

Scarves can be fashionable and functional in cold weather. However, some of the thicker scarves are a danger to your health. They can be so long that they encourage tripping, especially when walking on stairs.

They can also fly off and entangle you with things as you move around.

14. Heavy Coats

Heavy coats can be challenging to maneuver and carry, and they can even be dangerous. If you wear heavy coats for an extended period, they can cause lower back pain and muscle strains. Even carrying one around can cause discomfort in the arms and back.

15. Chokers

Chokers can be fashionable, but they can also cause rashes, chafing, and irritation to the skin. Wear chokers for short periods if you have sensitive skin, and choose options made out of different materials, like gold or titanium.

16. Oversized Sunglasses

Oversized sunglasses can protect your eyes from the sun, but if they don’t fit well, they can slip down your nose and obstruct vision, causing accidents. The same goes for sunglasses with novelty shapes and designs.

17. Tight Undergarments

Wearing tight undergarments can lead to several health problems, including friction burns, chafing, and skin irritation. Additionally, wearing them too tightly can lead to breathing difficulties over time.

18. Tight Headbands

Tight headbands may look cute, but they can also be dangerous. If they’re too tight, they can cause headaches and migraines that lead to long term health issues for some individuals.

19. Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans may look chic, but they can be harmful to your health. They can restrict blood flow in your legs, causing problems like swelling, rubbing, and chaffing.

If you are keen on wearing skinny jeans, wear them in moderation, allow for breaks between wears, and choose comfortable materials.

20. Heavy Bracelets

Heavy bracelets can cause friction against your skin and lead to cuts and bruises. They can also cause wrist pain and tendinitis, which could be challenging to manage over time.

21. Hot Pants

Hot pants can be stylish and trendy, but they can also be hazardous. They can expose your skin to unbearable amounts of heat and friction. If you have sensitive skin or allergies to synthetic material, they can cause itching, rashes, and skin infections.

22. Tight Ties

If you wear tight ties continuously, they can compress nerves and even cause shoulder pain, back pain, and headaches. They can also lead to long-term respiratory problems, especially if they have germ-soaked materials.

23. Low-Slung Jeans

Low-slung jeans may be fashionable, but they can be challenging to wear. Wearing low-slung jeans continuously can cause lower back pain, muscle strains, and posture issues. Additionally, wearing them too tight can lead to hemorrhoids.

24. Oversized Watches

Oversized watches may be trendy, but they can be dangerous. They can cause pressure on the wrist, which can cause carpal tunnel syndrome or wrist strain.

They can also be dangerous when working with machinery and other equipment, increasing the risk of accidents at work.

25. Shapewear

Shapewear can help you look slimmer and more attractive, but it can also be harmful. It can cause breathing difficulties, difficulty eating, and even damage your internal organs in extreme cases.

26. Oversized Hoop Earrings

Oversized hoop earrings can make a fashion statement, but they can also be a risk to your health. They can snag on clothes, get stuck in hair, and cause ear damage and even create a choking hazard.

27. Big Shoulder Bags

Big shoulder bags can get heavy, hindering mobility and causing back and shoulder pain. They can also cause stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and spine. If you are going for a long walk, prefer backpack-style bags or cross-body bags.

28. Strapless Bra

Strapless bras may be sexy, but they can be dangerous. They offer minimal support and can cause chest pain and breathing issues. Wearing them for too long can cause numbness, tingling, and muscle strains in the shoulders and back.

29. Tight Bras

Wearing a bra that is too tight can compress nerves and cause breathing difficulties and chest pain. Additionally, wearing them too tight can damage breast tissues and even increase the risk of breast cancer when worn for an extended period.

30. High-Waisted Shorts

High-waisted shorts have gained popularity among women recently, but they can also be hazardous. They can cause skin irritation and even skin infections. So, wear them with caution and avoid them in hot and humid weather.
