"March to the beat of your own pattern!" This is a good motto to live by for those with a more adventurous fashion sense. However, people can also learn from the mistakes of past trendsetters. To help you, here are some fashion styles that we should all let rest in peace:

1. Pop-the-Collar Cody: frequented Hollister even before he started working there, Cody uses hair spray on his collar to keep it as sharp as his blowout. The only thing more distinctive than his nostril-burning fragrance is his trademark Puka Shell Necklace.

2. Puffy-Vest Pat: convinced that puffiness negated the need for sleeves, the only thing more obnoxious than the bright colors of her vest collection is that annoying Old Navy jingle she hums while passing you in the hallways.

3. Leotard Lisa: in her later years, Lisa's hearing has declined as a result of blasting Richard Simmons's Sweatin' to the Oldies for thousands of hours. She fed the need for gym attire with her brightly-colored leotards, legwarmers and sweatbands. While we are glad these styles have faded, without Lisa's commitment to gym fashion, we might not have the benefit of Yoga pants.

4. Overall Ollie: with his farm couture and animal friends, he looks as if he walked out of Huckleberry Finn. Don’t tease him unless you want to be his personal spittoon. With his straw hat and work boots, he’s definitely not bringing sexy back.

5. Short-Shorts Shawn: whether it's cut-off jeans, track shorts, or spandex — men should avoid exposing the upper leg. Guys' thighs just don’t have the same appeal as women’s. Seeing someone's hairy, pale hamhocks will diminish your opinion of legs in general as much as it does your appetite.

6. Convertible-Cargo Cory: to zip the leg, or unzip the leg, that is the question. Appropriate for every season, zip-off pant legs allow Cory to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. One downside to Cory’s flexible-fashion style is keeping together all four parts of his pants after a weekend camping trip or a walk on the beach. That's not to mention the eerie resemblance to women's Capri pants convertible cargoe have in short form.

7. Wigwam Wilbur: everyone secretly wishes Wilbur could bring this trend back because of the warmth and cushiony comfort these socks provide. Wilbur defies societal norms by proudly tucking his sweatpants into his socks every time he goes to the gym.

8. Flowery Hat Daisy: watch out for those bumblebees! Insects may enjoy Daisy's hat nectar as much as we all enjoyed Joey Lawrence's trademark "wow" from the hit television show Blossom. However, those allergic to insect bites are glad to see the buzz of this television-show-inspired-trend disappear.

9. Cut-off-Shirt Curtis: during his early years Curtis wore perfectly well-sized shirts that covered his belly. Once in high school, this eighties trendsetter and star quarterback got his hands on a pair of scissors. Well time is unkind and Curtis should realize his midriff is screaming for an ab roller or a wardrobe that can cover that pot belly. It's time to frame that old practice jersey and put it up on your wall of fame next to your employee of the month plaque from '92.

10. Crazy Pattern Pat: purposely mismatches patterns and colors of his clothes in hopes of attracting the attention of others. Where Will Smith wore purple jeans and polka dot shirts on Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, today's sitcom stars inspire Pat to "rock" skin-tight jeans and obnoxious neon colors. Sorry Pat, even Will Smith recognized the error of his ways. It's time you realize the difference between offending and impressing.
