The problem is that we've been wearing clothes for several thousand years now, and all the reasonable ways to cover a human body have been used -- and most of the un-reasonable ways too. So if you want to wear something new, it has to be weird, and when the weird runs out, there's nothing for it but to wear what everybody sane has been studiously avoiding -- worn-out rags have gotten to be old hat, so we're going with bad fit and exposed underwear. Ketchup stains will be next.
I have always rejected all new styles. Well, one year everybody was wearing little triangles of fabric tied to their heads, and I thought that was cool. I made one that matched my apron, and my teacher thought I was dressing up as a nurse! (Seeing as the class was "home nursing", I suppose that was a reasonable guess.)
And hula hoops. I thought hula hoops were cool, and I still do. Never wore one, however. I *have* seen pictures of people who sewed them into skirts.
I liked better the guy who wound a hula hoop with wire and used it for a radio antenna.
I wore full pleated skirts when they were in style -- and, thanks to my sewing skills, I *still* wear full pleated skirts. Only now I wear them ankle-length so I won't have to wear hose.
