I think about trends a lot (it’s my job, after all), but the truth is I’m quite picky about the trends I actually buy. The reason? The sheer number of outdated, "trendy" pieces I remove from my closet each season. Don’t get me wrong—I still invest in plenty of trends, but I prefer to wait a bit before purchasing to see if said trend will stand the test of time (no one-season wonders for me), as I hate having to donate something I only wore a handful of times. But it happens, so before I add to my closet each season, I usually weed out the expiring trends that I know I’m done wearing (for the foreseeable future, at least).
For summer 2019, I’ve been busy shopping for tie-dye, kitten heels, longer shorts, and much more, so a closet clean-out was imperative. Scroll on to find out which summer trends sadly didn’t make it into the "keep" pile and which ones sparked enough joy to stay.
Next up, everything Who What Wear editors are keeping, ditching, and buying this season.
