It's the time of year when winter layers are shed and women everywhere get to cut loose and experiment with whatever wacky styles have been declared in vogue. It's also the time when we -- their straightforward boyfriends and admirers -- take a deep a breath and nod in approval through gritted teeth at ill-advised concoctions, from weird hemlines and nun-like floor-scrapers to strangely located fringe.If you want to be prepared for the unnecessary affectations you'll be exposed to this spring and summer, check out the gallery below. We've partnered this season's silliness with a few of last year's most unfortunate trends. They continue to hang around for some reason, reinforcing the reality that women dress to impress women, not men.
Spring Fashion Trends We Hate
Jumpsuits Jumpsuits have only got more popular and more egregious since we hated on them last summer. They're the ultimate in dude-unfriendly female fashion -- confusing, overly clever and fussy. At best you look like a sexy toddler, at worst like a frumpy 1970s mom.

Unplucked eyebrows Actually we don't really have a problem with the hirsute brow per se. Done right, it's certainly better than the pruned-within-an-inch-of-its-life-then-penciled-on look. We just pray the ladies won't go to the other extreme and get all Andy Rooney on us.

Harem pants We wish this "I Dream of Jeannie"-influenced trend would get back into its lamp. It doesn't look magical; it looks like the wearer has had an accident.

Asymmetrical hemlines This spring trend takes the business at the front, party at the back philosophy of the mullet and applies it to dresses. Or maybe it reverses it. Either way, it's busy and unsettling and we don't like it! (Unless you're Gemma Arterton, in which case, we might make an exception).

Fringes on bags, purses, shoes, etc On clothes, fringes give off a "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" vibe. It only gets weirder when women start sticking fringes on other random accessories.

Boyfriend jeans We love it when our lady lounges around the house all sexy-like in one of our old shirts. A pair of our jeans, not so much. The shirt thing makes us feel manly and protective, but baggy jeans just say, "I've given up on life."

Maxi Dresses Sure, Vogue tells women they're terribly elegant, and we're crude and simplistic for preferring the mini to the maxi. Honestly though, when the visual cues are saying prudish or pregnant, how should women expect us to respond?

Purple Lipstick Purple lips should be left to goths and people in the later stages of hypothermia.

Short trains It looks like a horse tail. Is that sexy?

Headbands Don't get me wrong, we love hipster chicks. But what's with the headbands, ladies? If you don't want to brush your hair, that's cool, but doesn't this 70s tennis player accessory draw attention to your unkempt mop?

I'll agree these so-called trends are horrible and thankfully temporary. Anyone who is that much a slave to fashion that they look ridiculous has some serious issues. Now, what about men? If I want to look at a man's underwear, I'll look in my husband's dresser drawer....why do these young guys think their jockey shorts are so sexy hanging out of their overly baggy shorts/pants??? Ugh.

I hope you're kidding...please remember that people are laughing at you behind your back. Why anyone would wear harem pants is beyond my comprehension. And those overall shorts are about the most hideous thing I've ever seen.

Good to know that guys think this shit is ridiculous too. I just don't understand why other women want to make themselves look absolutely ridiculous on a daily basis. I just keep it clean, simple, and classy...and of course, a little sexy. :-)

Have you forgotten the never ending joke "Capri Pants" (pedal pushers, clam diggers), they look to long on short women and to short on long women. Take a survey, I know no men that like them.

I never owned a pair of those damned things(clam-diggers, Capris, petal pushers. Each generation has their own name for them. I think they are currently, Capris. Yes, we tall girls HATE it when our pants are too short; goes back to childhood.
Then, there are the women who wear them with high heels.
These should not be a classic clothing item.

It's not the fashions we don't like (well some of them make me go WTF?!??!?!?!) It's the stankassed nasty perfume that the vast majority of women seem to have the need to grossly over-apply that get under my skin and make me want to take a firehose and wash the stench off you.MORE IS NOT BETTER! WARN YOUR FRIENDS!

The heavy fragrance thing was not exclusive to women. I had a boyfriend I could smell from inside the house when he came to the door. And my eyes would water when I got into his car. But I think he planned for it to last the night out. He definately over-estimated!
I am hoping heavy cologne does not come back- hell, some of it is still lingering. I prefer the light smell of body sprays.

Jumpsuits are the worst, especially when you need to go to the bathroom.

First of all I will start out with this...to all the men out there...not all women want to dress like the Hollywood Stars do. Notice how all these clothes are worn by none other than famous rich people...I have never seen any woman just walk down the street wearing these clothes. Secondly, who in the hell do you "guys" think you are to tell women what to wear in the first place? Considering you would get pretty pissed off if a female did that to you. Whether you think so or not women dont always choose their clothing styles according to "your" liking. This is not the "man's world" anymore where you were once in control to decide what women did and did not wear. This is not Saudi Arabia sorry dudes...and while I would not ever wear a single piece of clothing shown in these pictures...as a former model I will tell you that you will also not tell me what I should or should not wear. Its not your place to decide that for me or any other women. Perhaps the next blog should be about men who dont know how to dress or men who are lazy and unkept. If these women want to walk around in couture clothing...that looks pretty retarded in these pics...then let them. Technically you have no place to judge...When women wear too much clothing men complain and then when they wear their damn things outside their jeans at first you stare and then complain because now they are wearing too little clothing...when what you dont get is that its not your decision to make in the first place...so just give it up already.

Wow, you really take things seriously, huh? Please remember that this is essentially a "mens" site, and if you get so terribly offended by their opinions, maybe you should stay in Fairyland.

Newsflash, boys- we don't dress for you. Women dress to impress other women. Believe it. Know why? We don't have to dress for you, quite frankly. If a hot chick was wearing a jumpsuit made out of her bedsheets with a lampshade on her head... she'd still be a hot chick. Yes, most of these fashions are ridiculous, but I notice most of the comments on them boiled down to "and we can't see your ass/boobs/legs when you're wearing that". Cry me a damn river.

Does anyone of "us" really wear this S***. When is this pleated/gathered women's tops going out .... they are what American women are being forced to where .... shop anywhere and that's what's on the racks. If you're thin, you look fat or pregnant and if you're fat ... well you look huge and sloppy.

Personally, I wouldn't wear most of these ugly things, especially the jumpsuit. But I do want to say this. Hey men! If you want us to dress in ways that make us look better to you, why don't you return the favor & dress to make yourselves look better to us? I'm talking about the baggy jeans, riding low enough that we see your boxer shorts. Not attractive, guys! Same goes for oversized t-shirts & plaid flannel shirts! Blech!

humans have become so ignorant to the fact that clothes are there to cover our naked bodies and keep us warm or cool us down. who cares what color or brand it is all that means is your a dumb shiet who likes to waste money and go along with the other millions of sheep in the U.S. . our society has based things off money and impressing other people. no wonder they never find happiness

Nothing wrong with a little retro look, if it is the right era and the right look, like low hip hugging bells or "daisy duke" shorts. I always did like the natural look of unshaven women, to each their own I guess. Anything that shows the "belly button", even if it is tie dyed, has to be good, yes?

OK, Here's my spin on lady's fashion, Where clothes that are sexy, not like someone from the Morman Tab. So how about bringing back the Bare tummies, but leave the navel piercing in your jewlery boxes,
