The world of fashion is constantly in motion: things are always going on; trends are being created; trends are fading out. People love things one moment and hate them the next. What I find interesting is the cycle of fashion. It relates directly to November because November is all about remembering what once happened. Therefore I feel that we should reminisce about some good trends and some bad ones. Remembering what you did in the past can prevent you from making the same mistakes, and it can also help you modify what you did wrong so that this time you can get the right outcome. I am going to share with you some of my most favourite trends that have recently been making a comeback and some trends I wish were completely forgotten.

Tight stretchy pants
I could limit this section to leggings, however that would be far too narrow because all tight stretchy pants seem too be making a comeback. They were big in the '90s when the Spice Girls were popular and when Disney consisted of Mickey hanging out with the Princesses. Stretchy pants have become a new fan favourite because the world keeps getting lazier and lazier. Having to find pants that fit you and that don't just contour your body is difficult at times. People like how easy stretchy pants are to wear, and I feel as though a lot of people could not be happier about their comeback, myself included.

Bodysuits
This is a funny trend to see, because bodysuits used to be popular when my parents were teenagers. Exercise videos used to be one of the biggest sellers of this trend. The differences between the bodysuits made back then and the ones made now are the purpose and the closure. Bodysuits used to be used for two things: aerobics and lingerie — yes, lingerie. The bodysuits used for lingerie were different from the aerobics bodysuits because they contained a small closure right between the legs. This closure allowed for easier removal of the bodysuit. I have not yet seen this trend in the bodysuits we are seeing. I think that the bodysuit can be a tasteful way to show off your curves and allow you to not have to worry about tucking your shirt in. I think this is definitely a trend that we are going to see stick around.

Uggs
About four or five years ago, Uggs became the "it" shoe to have, but I'm not sure why. A lot of people don't realize that Uggs first gained popularity as a boot for surfers. When coming in from riding the waves, surfers' feet would be cold and sandy, and so the boots became a popular way to avoid these problems. Eventually, a culture of Ugg boots grew. I understand the practical aspect of Uggs — they're soft, they're warm — but they are ugly. There are very few (approximately zero) people who can wear these in a stylish manner. They look like oversized slippers, they look lazy and, since most people don't take care of their boots, they are often covered in salt stains. Go buy a pair of nice winter boots, like a great pair of Sorrels — you won't look like an old man who forgot to take off his slippers before he left the house.

Choker necklaces
I am shocked to see this trend making a comeback, and unlike the other trends that I have a clear opinion on, this is a trend where I am seated patiently on the fence. I like the idea behind choker necklaces because they began as a European trend. Choker necklaces first began as beautiful ribbons used to enhance a woman's features. After this trend caught some attention, people began adorning them with beautiful jewels. Royalty wore chokers, as did some religious figures. However, up until this point, we haven't seen many chokers in the fashion industry, therefore it will be interesting to see how we react to this new trend. If they are worn tastefully, I think this can be done successfully; however, the minute they are being interchanged with dog collars and studded necklaces, I think we will lose this trend.

Trends come and go; they are what we make of them. We are the ones who decide if they stay or not. Remembering how you wore something will help you wear it better. Think to the past for inspiration because we can only learn from our mistakes.
