\nWNBA stars revealed their least favorite fashion trends at the Wasserman Basketball and Ally for the Collective’s WNBA All-Star VIP PartyThe athletes were asked which item they’d “never be caught dead wearing”Paige Bueckers and Hannah Hidalgo lamented the return of old fashion trends, while Lexie Hull criticized a new (and definitely controversial) shoe<\/p>\n

When so much of your time is spent in a basketball jersey, off-the-court fashion is all the more important.\n<\/p>\n

USA Today<\/a> spoke to a collection of players at the Wasserman Basketball and Ally for the Collective WNBA All-Star VIP Party, and inquired into their style preferences (and aversions). Paige Bueckers, Lexie Hull and Hannah Hidalgo each opened up about their respective fashion “don’ts.”<\/p>\n

Hidalgo, the 20 year old Notre Dame Fighting Irish guard, confessed she can’t stand a certain recent footwear trend. “The shark boots,” she said, laughing. “Just not my cup of tea.”<\/p>\n

The boots, which recently gained popularity in the last year or so, are a spin on the typical knee-high look. While they feature the same thin block heel and pointed toe, the shark boot also has a layer of fabric or leather (depending on the design) that drapes from the top of the boot to below the ankle \u2014 imitating a bootcut look.<\/p>\n

Bueckers’ fashion no-no similarly deals with the bootcut shape.\u00a0She firmly believes “bootcut leggings” are a bad choice all around. “Sorry. No offense,” the Dallas Wings player, 23, added.\n<\/p>\n

A similar shape as many kinds of yoga pants, bootcut leggings or “flared leggings” bring a classic jeans cut to a comfier fabric. While the leggings are more forgiving and flexible, some \u2014\u00a0including Bueckers \u2014\u00a0just can’t get behind the combination of cut and material.\n<\/p>\n

Hull, 25, shared she’s also apprehensive of an old trend that’s come back to haunt us: “Low rise jeans,” the Indiana Fever guard admitted. “I hate them.”\n<\/p>\n

Low rise jeans were a hallmark of the 2000s, and returned to on-trend closets with the rise of Y2K fashion in recent years. After years of mid- and high-waisted jeans and pants, the hip-barring look was embraced by those looking for a fresh silhouette and, as in Hull’s case, strictly avoided by many others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW WNBA stars revealed their least favorite fashion trends at the Wasserman Basketball and Ally for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15308,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":["post-15307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
