'Kim K promotes 'thin is in' yet spends £3k a week on treatments – she's no body confidence idol'

A trend is hard to resist... trust me, I’m a 90s kid.

One day, you’re going about your life, hair flowing in the breeze, not giving a single thought to that bucket hat you owned as a child. The denim one that flopped over your eyebrows everywhere you went. 

And then, they’re everywhere. Patterned bucket hats. Fluffy bucket hats. PVC bucket hats.

It's all likely happened because the celeb of the moment was spotted stepping out of their car, designer shoes on their feet, bucket hat on their head. A trend has been established.

Suddenly, they don’t look so cringe anymore. In fact, with the right outfit, in the right weather, a bucket hat might even look… good?

It’s hard to resist a trend. But it has to be said: some trends are more harmless than others. There’s a big difference between giving in to an accessory you never thought would be back in style, and trying to change your entire body based on whatever shape and size seems to be “in” right now.

If you asked a handful of people what the ideal body type for women has been for the last few years, they’d probably all describe something Kardashian-esque: big butt, tiny waist, perky boobs, slim everywhere else. But the beauty standard hasn’t been that way for long and it won’t stay that way for long, either.
