11 Common Beauty Trends All Men Secretly Hate
We don't dress to impress men, and yet they're still not impressed anyways.
MIRRORstudio / Shutterstock I love beauty and fashion trends.
I fully admit that loads of them can be ridiculous, but that has officially never once stopped me from wearing mud-colored lipstick or parading around in a series of ill-advised bell-bottom jeans.
I'm a woman, and I don't dress for men.
I dress for myself, and from time to time, for the benefit of the women around me.
I play around with trends as a way of expressing myself, so I usually can't be bothered to avoid trends guys hate.
But that doesn't mean I don't know exactly which trends guys hate.
Because while some guys don't have a clue when it comes to fashion, sometimes their eye for what's ridiculous is totally on point.
In the end, what matters is that you do what you love, what makes you feel good.
But just in case you were curious about what beauty trends guys hate, here are a few of their least favorites.
