Out: The OG Bucket hat
In order for the Bucket Hat to have an appeal revival, we certainly may be seeing unique shapes & reinvented styles of the bucket hat that not only fall into the niche aesthetics of the present, but also leans towards larger silhouettes.

Out: Buying things and never ever wearing them
Be honest , Do you really need that scarf?

Out: Round Flat brim hats
Wearing these hats is by no means fab ; nor is it chic paired with a suit - and specifically looks un-appealing with a turtleneck like you think it does. Burn them. Burn them all -l and I will not be elaborating any further ! Ugh, Peu Chic!

Out: Dressing like a try-hard
If you feel like assembling your own look without algorithm assistance will only result in disaster, try gathering inspo from the shows you watch, a strange looking animal you’ve seen or maybe even a stylish stranger you saw from across the street; And if we’re being honest, there's nothing chíccer than an outfit that looks genuinely lived in.
^last IN: Being so much nicer^
With the current ever changing (and kind of alarming) climate of social/ political state of society, and constant shifting of our diverse circumstances, we should all maybe be a bit nicer to each other.
