Deep V-neck Ts for guys…wouldn’t be so into my boyfriend wearing a shirt that would border the inappropriate cleavage line if I were to wear it to a family function.

Visible underwear. Neither the skimpy lace of thongs, straight through to men's thick elastic waistbands. Wear those dainties, by all means, but there is no need to share that information with the world.

I am pretty daring when it comes to new trends. Like with men, I try to give everyone a fair chance to impress me. But if there was one that made a bad first impression on me, it would be HAREM PANTS!

One trend we can't get behind are patterned tights and leggings. They are not flattering on most people...they are great for editorial, but not for everyday.

Some things should stay put in the 1990s and scrunchies are no exception! Sure, I wore my fair share back in the day...it was 1993, I was "cool" rockin’ my scrunchie, but NEVER again!

It would have to be overalls. I'm eager to see a more contemporary, sexier approach to the design…although, I do still own a pair from the brilliant Marc Jacobs.

I could never get behind the hipster forehead band. Hat hair is one thing, but a giant indent across your forehead is a little ridiculous.

Would have to be either super matte foundation or blue eyeshadow; whenever they are the 'new' trends, I always find it difficult to embrace. I almost get hives!

Man, i've never been one to follow trends. Too much effort. I just assume if I continue to wear what I prefer, one day it'll just happen to be trendy. Kinda like how a broken clock can be right twice a day…no?

I think the S/S trend I could never wear would be the Ab Fab! The midriff reminds me of my 1985 Au Coton sweater that I had in orange and fluorescent yellow.

I could never get behind the lack of snap bracelets appearing on the runway these days. Why has it been since Grade 2 that there has been a trend I am on board with?

I have never liked cropped pants or "capris." The only place I think this should ever be acceptable is at the gym, and only then with cropped sweatpants!

Trends I did not get on board with are numerous! Those terrible asymmetrical hair cuts that were popular in the 2000s was something that really grossed me out.

Some trends I wouldn't even attempt...In the past this has included bandage dresses, harem pants, and denim on denim looks. This spring I will likely avoid both the kitten heel and peplum trends — not flattering and not for me!

Blue/green/yellow lipstick.There is no way anyone is ever going to want to kiss you in those lip colours. Let's face it, spring and summer are all about rolling around and making out, all the time.

I could never seem to get behind the bubble skirt trend. No matter how tall + thin, it never seems to flatter any figure. 2 thumbs way down.

The trend I could never get behind is that Chanel and Dolce star print. I don't know why, but it really annoyed me for some weird reason.

Colour-blocking, and unfortunately it seems to be a trend every second season.
