Trending poses in photos is nothing new amongst the youth. You have Duck Face, the tongue out, and now you have the nose cover. That’s right. The nose cover is the new popular trend for Gen Z’ers in photos.

You might have seen this before. No, they aren’t sneezing in the photo. Yes, it is intentional.

What Is The New ‘Nose Cover’ Trend In Photos?

You’ve probably seen the trending nose cover when a teenager doesn’t want to take a picture with the family. Forced to take an unwanted picture? Throw up the nose cover!

Gen Z is now using their hands to cover their face in photos. Why? Well, it’s sort of a way to rebel. Yeah, I’ll be in the photo…but I’m going to do it my way. It’s a way to show, yeah I’m here but I don’t want to be. Hence, covering your face…but not moving out of the picture.

We’ve probably all been there. You’re at the family Christmas party and the fam made everybody wear matching pajamas and now wants to take a picture. You can’t get out of it. However, you can hold your hand over your face to save yourself some embarrassment. It’s like “I’m here, but I’m not.” Seems like it’s a way to deflect teasing amongst teens from their peers.

You’ve seen it on your social media feeds. Parents like to take pictures of their kids and share them! It doesn’t matter if the kid is a newborn or 25 years old. They want to take pictures all over and share them with their friends. You can’t blame them. They’re proud of their kids!

However, the kids don’t seem to see it that same way. They don’t want the picture of them somewhere embarrassing or “not cool” being posted online. That’s why they revert to this.

So, parents when you see this in photos, no they aren’t ashamed by their nose or anything. They’re just embarrassed to be with you. Check out some examples of the Nose Cover trend in an article shared by The New York Post! Looking for more? The Sun also has some examples!

5 Of The Most Questionable Fashion Trends Of 2023

Sometimes, fashion just doesn’t make sense. I don’t choose what’s popular, I just have to go along with it. These are 5 of the most questionable fashion trends of 2023.

We were introduced to some strange fashion trends in 2023. Some other fashion trends from the past also made a comeback this year.

The Most Questionable Fashion Trends Of 2023

I am not a fashionable person. Love me some sweatpants and hoodies. However, if these items are what’s in style, then I think I’m perfectly find not being fashionable.

Some strange clothing items became popular in 2023 for a number of different reasons. You can blame TikTok, you can blame Taylor Swift, you can even blame nostalgia. Again, just don’t blame me.

I’ve gone through some photos and videos and have identified 5 questionable fashion trends from 2023. To me, these stood out as the strangest. However, there were much more popular trends that didn’t make the list. It’s hard when you stick to only five!

Some of the popular trends that didn’t make the list this year include Tabi shoes, Y2K, ballet flats, jean maxi skirts, and more, according to Huffpost. Tabi shoes were very polarizing in 2023. They’re a split-toed shoe inspired by traditional Japanese work shoes from the 15th century.

It seems like Y2K is popular every year, and this year was no exception. We saw cargo pants, metallic colors, oversized shades, and platform shoes make a big comeback in 2023.

Also, ballet flats were flat out everywhere in 2023. There were tons of options and choices available to buy. You could get them bedazzled, with a bow, silk, suede, corduroy, anything you could possibly want! Seems like they could also pair well with most outfits. It’s like the shoe equivalent of the little black dress.

Well, those items didn’t make the list of the 5 most questionable fashion trends of 2023. Here’s what did make the list.

  • No-Pants Trend

    Going without pants was big in 2023. Sort of reminds me of the trend in the 90s that was pointed out in Seinfeld where women were going without a shirt, only wearing their bra. I prefer to go out with my pants on.

  • Opera Gloves

    Opera gloves were a major fashion choice for celebrities on the red carpet this year. Thankfully, it’s just a red carpet thing and people didn’t start wearing long opera gloves to work. That would be a strange choice. However, for a formal event they look pretty good. Something sleek and sexy about them. Or is that just me?

  • Micro Bags

    You probably saw a few micro bags this year. Perhaps you even own one. I’m not judging. Everything is getting smaller, and that includes purses, evidently. The days of giant bags are behind us…until they come creeping back.

  • Fringe

    Thanks to celebrities like Harry Styles, fringe was huge this year. You had the funky futuristic fringe and the traditional western fringe in fashion. I don’t think I could pull it off, but it would be fun to have those dangling sleeves.

  • Friendship Bracelets

    Friendship bracelets were massive in 2023, and all fingers go towards Taylor Swift for that one. People bought them by the dozen for her concerts and movie. Even I have one. What am I doing??

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

Do you know people who do the Nose Cover? What other odd poses have been popular that bother you? Let us know in the comments!
