Stylists and designers reveal the 9 fashion trends you should avoid this summer

Celebrity stylist Scot Louie, whose clients include Kehlani and Keke Palmer, knows the trend isn't going to go away but suggests toning it down a bit by avoiding head-to-toe neon.

"As neons have proven they're here to stay, it's time to move away from monochrome neon and pair them with neutrals or color-block your neons," Louie said.

Bottega Veneta's creative director, Daniel Lee, debuted his take on square-toe shoes with mules and mesh pumps for his fall 2019 collection, and people quickly embraced the look. However, this is one trend that designer David Meister is not a fan of.

"I love the new Bottega Veneta line, but those square toes are just interesting, and I don't want to look interesting," he told Insider. "I believe shoes should be pretty or sexy. They don't look good or sexy."

Chunky sneakers, dad sneakers, ugly sneakers, or whatever you want to call this shoe trend started becoming popular again in the spring of 2018, and two years later, it's still going strong.

Louie suggests leaving them behind and trying out a backless loafer or a strappy kitten heel instead.

"Take those cinder blocks off your feet and give your soles a break," he said. "Summer is here and as we make our way off the couch, let's leave behind the heavy footwear."

"If you aren't on the court or in the gym, then it's time to pack up the biker shorts and joggers," Louie said.

He suggests skipping this trend and swapping it out for a Bermuda short suit instead, like the one Julia Roberts wore in "Pretty Woman."

Just like wearing all neon can be a bit too much, so is putting on an all-denim outfit.

"One in a million looks fabulous in head-to-toe denim and the rest it's like, 'What are you thinking?'" Meister said. "To pull off all denim is tough, so that's not for everyone."

Leopard is one animal print that is going to be popular for years and years to come, but this summer, try swapping it our for zebra, Louie said.

"I am not a fan, except if you're throwing them on to go to the pool," he said. "They have their place, but I don't want to see everyone running around in them."

Meister said that most tropical prints are bad and just not done correctly.

"To me, it needs to be done really well, and I think they look silly on most people," he said.

This is a trend that some stylists suggest would work great for those going back to the office who are looking to switch up their workwear.

But Meister said people shouldn't even bother with it, and should instead focus on dressing up after having to sit at home for so long.
