The Fashion Trends Everyone Loves to Hate, According to an Instagram Expert

Fashion trends can be pretty polarizing, to say the least. As an editor, I can write all about them, set the story live, and move on with my life, but for a social media editor, the next steps are a little different. It is a social editor's job to figure out which trends will perform the best visually on Instagram. (That's certainly not all they do, but for the sake of this story, that's all we're going to talk about.) After working in the business since her time as a social media intern back in college, Mimi Postigo, Who What Wear's social media manager, knows a thing or two about what the people of IG like and what they don't, which is why I asked her to divulge some of the fashion trends she knows our followers love to hate, and love to love. 

"For the data, I looked at the last six months of our top-engaged posts on Instagram, including our most-liked and most-commented posts, to see what really stirred the pot," said Postigo. From what she told us, it's clear that Who What Wear's followers hate any pants that aren't really basic jeans, love a dramatic gown moment, and I'd tell you about the rest, but I'd rather have Mimi do that. 

Ahead, read up on all the fashion trends everyone loves to hate on Instagram, according to a true social media expert. 

The Uglies: "Nothing gets a rise out of Instagram like a controversial outfit. People have opinions when it comes to these trends, and the comments section can get heated, if I'm being honest. I kind of love to stir the pot and get excited to post these. It's just fashion, people! Above all, not-your-average denim trends are the most common trend we see irk our audience on social."

The Classics: "Instagram loves an outfit that can be easily re-created and will always look good, no matter the season. Be it the perfect pair of jeans or a good new way to style a blazer, the timeless looks always get the most love on IG."

The Over-the-Top Trends: "These are the trends you want to wear but have no idea where you'd wear them. Amazing gowns, epic shoes, you get the gist. Chances are you've tagged a friend in one of these posts because they're the type of thing you just have to see."

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
