Add age and look cheap: 5 trends from the U.S.S.R. worth throwing away

How long has it been since you revised your wardrobe? Perhaps you don't wear some of the things from the past in vain (even though they are still in trends). Silk scarves, crochet T-shirts, flared pants, or tote bags fit perfectly into your outfits.

Conversely, there are products from the conservative U.S.S.R. that are hopelessly outdated and spoil your outfits. In the OBOZ.UA article, find out which accessories and clothes are no longer relevant and what you can replace them with.

1. Breeches

These are narrow trousers with stripes that fit tightly around the legs. Women used to love wearing breeches because they didn't fold like an accordion, unlike things without stitching. A few years ago, designers tried to bring them back into fashion, but to no avail. Thus, rely on leggings or thick black tights.

2. Fur collar

Once upon a time, outerwear with a collar made of natural fur was a sign of luxury. Today, such products are an anti trend. First, the fluffy decor looks old-fashioned and vulgar. Secondly, stylists now advise against animal fur (sable, mink, chinchilla, fox, etc.) in favor of eco-friendly materials.

3. Knitted hat

This refers to vintage crochet hats with wide brims that were worn on the beach or in the city during the Soviet era. If it's a small mesh panama hat or a straw hat, then feel free to style your looks with it.

4. Blouse with a bow

In 2024, dresses with tiny bows on the collar, sleeves, or waist are back in fashion. However, blouses with bows are still anti-trend. If you have one, we recommend that you untie the decorative element. Can't do it? Then you will have to alter the item or replace it with a silk blouse in the spirit of quiet luxury.

5. Fur hat

This accessory can be worn only in one case: if you don't care that it visually adds 10-15 years to your age. It doesn't matter what color or size your hat is. It's a fashion taboo. What to choose instead? Insulated fedoras, leather panamas, hoods or "always" trendy beanies.
