Just because a celebrity wears it doesn't mean everyone should. Well, many times this isn't the case. There are a lot of young women and even older women who go on following celebrity fashion trends, when they may actually look silly in what they are wearing. It seems like celebrities nowadays wear some outrageous things, many times to get noticed, and then the general public considers them a fashion icon so a whole new fashion trend is started. Many times, the celebrity does not look good, so how can the general public look good in the fashion trend.

Here are some current celebrity fashion trends that you should avoid.

Extra Large Sunglasses
Everyone has seen Nicole or Mary Kate Olsen wearing huge sunglasses lately. They are so big (and these women are so small) that the sunglasses take up their whole face. Basically they look like a bug and it just doesn't look well. Some larger frames of sunglasses can be cute, but you have to make sure that they are not covering 50% of your face. Stick with a classic frame on your sunglasses and you can always be in fashion.

Short Shorts with Tall Boots
Such celebrities as Hilary Duff have been seen around Hollywood wearing short shorts with tall boots. A popular boot that is worn with short shorts is the moccasin boot. Now, the moccasin boot is a winter boot. It is supposed to provide warmth as it is made from heavy materials. Why would you then wear a winter boot with short shorts. This makes no sense. Leave the tall boots to colder weather and wearing them with longer pants or skirts, because short shorts and tall boots just looks plain silly.

Gladiator Sandals That Go Up To The Knees
Gladiator sandals are really popular right now, not only with celebrities but with everybody. Gladiator sandals are sandals that are usually flats that have straps going across them in the front. They can be cute with a pair of shorts or even a dress. The ones that are a celebrity don't are the ones like Ashley Tisdale was seen wearing were the sandal is laced all the way up to the knees. So you have a flat sandal with straps all the way up to the knees. First of all, this can't be very comfortable to wear. Secondly, it looks very odd to have a sandal all the way up to a person's knee and unless you are actually a gladiator then you may want to skip those. My advice, stick with the cute gladiator sandals that stop at the ankle.

Jumpsuits
For some reason some celebrities such as Rihanna seem to love wearing jumpsuits. I'm really not sure why, as they are not flattering and they look like the person just came from the 80's in a time machine. Thankfully, I have yet to see a person around me wear a jumpsuit, but you never know. This is one celebrity fashion trend that really should not catch on. Jumpsuits are better left to babies and toddlers to wear.
