Platform heels and clogs. Ugliest footwear ever.—Preeti Zachariah

Okay, so I get a pilot’s watch or a dive watch being larger than 40mm, for legibility in extreme conditions. But dress watches, chronographs, field watches? No please. The obscenely large watch craze is on the wane but I would want them banished altogether. Watches shouldn’t be larger than 38mm, and certainly no larger than 40mm.—Bibek Bhattacharya

Frumpy salwars gave way to fitted churidars, which led to the horrible multicoloured leggings trend, which thankfully made way for cropped, tailored pants. So far so good, yes? No. We have gone too far with the cropping. Some of these pants now stop just below the knee in a neither-half-nor-full situation of supreme inelegance.—Shrabonti Bagchi

Big, crowded floral designs—they should remain on the upholstery. Splashing an entire garden from head to toe, à la Kim Kadarshian and Priyanka Chopra, can leave the onlooker dizzy and birds and bees confused.—Nipa Charagi

Hopefully, 2022 will not see any of those ill-fitting masks and bedazzled face coverings. Only proper masks, please.—Nitin Sreedhar

Crop tops were cute at the start of 2021; now they are just everywhere and in the worst colours and cuts possible. And slides. Keep them for visits to the bathroom.— Shalini Umachandran
