10 Unlovable Trends We Once Adored

No matter how hideous we currently find velour tracksuits, platform sneakers, and tiny, yellow-tinted sunglasses, there was a time when we not only found these items chic — we wanted them in our wardrobes worse than we wanted Josh Hartnett to take us to the spring formal.
