Fashion is subjective. Nonetheless, there are trends we all admire but then again, there are some that are overdone. One sign of this is when everyone, and I mean everyone, looks the same.
This practice has been summarised in one phrase ‘Kenya uniform’. I am not a fan of such trends and as soon as I realise that most people are hot on a certain trend, my excitement dissipates.
What happened to fashion diversity and uniqueness? You might not always achieve this but recognising when you need not pick a piece, for this reason, is one you will separate yourself from the lot. Anyways, enough rambling. Here are a couple of fashion trends that I think have been overdone and it's time to we dropped them.
Streetwear

From oversized jackets, t-shirts, trousers, shoes and everything in between, it’s just too much. This is not just happening locally. It is a global trend. The biggest celebrities everywhere have embodied this and made it a wardrobe staple. Looking like a 90s girl is fashionable now for some odd reason I am yet to understand.
Sneakers

We now live in a world of comfort - whether you are in the corporate sector, freelance or self-employment - recent trends point to relaxed workplaces.
This means that women are not mandated to show up in high heels. This has opened the door for us to put on sneakers. This is the one fashion trend on the list I think should remain. I am a huge advocate of sneakers and we should have a say in what our feet go into.
And there is a variety to choose from - from the Jordans which I have been eyeing for a while now to Nikes, they are a perfect fit for most occasions. The good thing is that you can rock this with whatever outfit you chose.

Kitenge

As beautiful as Ankara is, I think it’s overdone. I have my fair share of Ankara clothes but I hardly use them because I feel suffocated by the amount of kitenge I see people wearing.
Cover Ups

That said, cover-ups have taken over and you can wear them in multiple settings. From your casual coffee shop dates to the beach, this piece is now a wardrobe staple. Should you get one? Of course. If it’s something you want.
Bonus: Matching Outfits

Well, the coordination comes across amazingly well but when I see this every time, it looks so planned. And it is because how rarely do two people walk into the office with everything coordinated? How about people just show up in uncoordinated outfits?
