Fashion is pretty fickle but some trends last longer than others. Below, 11 recent trends from shortest-lived to longest are listed.

Hair chalking, nail art, sequins – find out which had the longest life, and which are heading for obsolescence.

1. Hair chalking.

This is an easy, quick and inexpensive way to add temporary color to your hair. You can do it yourself without making a big commitment.

A peplum is a short ruffle or overskirt attached to the waistline of a blouse or a dress. You can wear your peplum with a pencil skirt or with trousers.

Start: August 2012

End: Still going strong

Length: 9 months

3. Platform pumps

Trend_3

These platform shoes gained popularity seasons ago – high heels that provide a hidden boost. But many aren’t big fans of the clunky footwear since many women could use a break from shoe discomfort. However, these pumps do help them give that extra
height.

Start: December 2010

End: September 2011

Length: 9 months

4. Nail art

Trend_4

Fingernails and toenails are seen by some as important points of beauty which is why nail art has grown to be a popular activity.

Start: July 2011

End: December 2012

Length: 1 year, 5 months

5. KItten Heels

Trend_5

Kitten heels, to some, are the “ugly step-sister” of the heel family. They occupy the space between flat shoes and high heels. The heel usually curves inwards from the back of the heel, giving them a bit more stability than a stiletto.

Start: September 2010

End: April 2012

Length: 1 year, 7 months

6. Skinny jeans

Trend_6

These pants have a snug fit through the legs and end in a small leg opening. Skinny jeans taper completely at the bottom of the leg. In some styles, zippers are needed at the bottom of the leg to facilitate pulling them over the feet.

Start: December 2007

End: December 2009

Length: 2 years

7. Fringe

For the sake of defining terns, fringe is the decorative edging of hanging threads, tassels or other narrow strips of materials on a piece of clothing.

Start: September 2008

End: February 2011

Length: 2 years, 5 months

8. Sequins

Trend_8

These are small, shiny disks sewn onto all sorts of clothing. If you’re into glitz, this might just be your cup of tea.

Start: December 2004

End: December 2011

Length: 7 years

9. Leopard print

Trend_9

Animal prints are currently considered neutrals more or less but it’s always been a bold pattern on clothing. Whether you prefer your leopard in a classic or colorful palette, splashed on fur or silk, there’s no question the glamorous print could make a huge comeback.

Start: October 2010

End: December 2012 (but could make a comeback)

Length: 2 years, 2 months

10. Harem pants

The 40th American Music Awards - Red Carpet

Also known as parachute pants, harem trousers are baggy, long pants tapered at the ankle with side flaps on the hip that button at the waist area. Originally from India, they are like a cross between a skirt and a pair of skinny jeans. It’s uncertain when this will go out of style but one thing’s clear: Bieber can’t get enough of them.

Start: May 2010

End: None in sight

Length: 3 years
