    Fashion Trends We Would Never Be Caught Dead In, Ever

    By The Editors at Refinery29
    It's our job to try on the trends, test drive the new silhouettes, and give crazy prints and colors a chance even when most normal people would be too cynical to wear 'em. What this means is that we know what we're talking about when we say that something doesn't work - and not even a Wintour-sized decree could get us to change our minds.

    Don't get us wrong, we're not saying that these trends can't, or don't, work - in some cases they're downright lovely (except for the Skechers; those are abominations), but on us? Not so much. Click through for the 21 pieces you'll never see in our closets.

      "First off, I don't like to think of the toes of my boots as 'peeping.' Nothing good, unless it is made of marshmallow, ever comes from 'peeps.' But mostly, I think these are a sign of lazy design. The toe of a shoe is its most distinctive facet, and sometimes I think that creators don't exactly know how to 'close' it - not to mention that the tiny opening defeats the utilitarian appeal of the boot (my feet will freeze!). Of course, this isn't a diehard rule for everyone...but just for me."

      Taccetti Peep Toe Bootie, $475, available at Nordstrom.
