1980S: EVERYTHING ON MADONNA IN THIS PHOTO

Colored leggings. Mini skirt layered on top of said leggings. Neon everywhere. The worst colored makeup in the history of makeup. 600 rubber bracelets to weight train your wrists. It all hurts so much. Photo: Getty

When not even the founder of a fashion trend can manage to pull the look off, that's when you know there's a problem (Sorry, MC, you're still great). Photo: Getty

2000S: THE VELOUR TRACKSUIT

And arriving at the most painfully terrible fashun decade of them all: the early aughts. Spearheading this time of bad sartorial decisions was the ubiquitous velour tracksuit. Everyone and their mother (literally) had a tracksuit to style with a cami underneath and a logo bag in tow. Bonus points if you had a pair with the word "JUICY" across the butt—super chic.

How could we let this happen to Beyonce?

Wow, can you believe that nobody thought to take style inspiration from truckers until the 2000s? From Ed Hardy to Von Dutch to your own DIY-airbrushed hats, there was no shortage of really chic trucker hats to choose from. Photo: Getty

1910S: THE HOBBLE SKIRT

Sure they look chic, but walking in these heavy and constricting floor-length hemlines is no easy task. Imagine wearing a tight, ankle-length pencil skirt and having no choice but to move at a glacial pace: no fun. Photo: Getty

1960S: "FUTURISTIC" FASHION

Let us all be grateful in knowing that the fashion of the future never actually ended up looking like this. These metallic skin-tight pants are nobody's friend. Photo: Getty
