Q: What was your least favorite trend of 2012?

Lisa Pierpont, BOLDFACERS founder: Floral jeans. Gag me with a tulip.

Amanda Knorr, Spreedia founder: Oxblood, the buzzword.

Renata Certo-Ware, Scorpion Disco and freelance fashion writer/stylist: Hot shot designer collaborations. Cheap is cheap, in every sense of the word.

Christina Pierce, Christina K. Pierce Boutique Fashion Agency owner: Crop tops. If you're not 16, put it aside.

Lani Zervas, Mon Petit Chou Chou blogger: Personally, I don't really go for anything too bodycon and I think it is definitely time to retire Uggs.

Liana Krupp, communications consultant and New Brahmin founder: Mass market designer collaborations and the hoopla that surrounds them.

Heather White, Lifestyle Marketing at PLNDR: Paisley and #seapunk.

Lindsey Canant, Junior Copywriter at Joss and Main: I'd say my least favorite trend are harsh neons. I love the pop of color, but done wrong it leaves a lot of sun-starved Bostonians (I'm the leader of the tribe) looking sad and washed out.
