Trends you'd like to see go away...FOREVER

Block heels.

The thick, straight ones, I mean - I just don't like them.

I tried to get into them, as I need a pair of mules and virtually all of them have block heels, ATM; but, I just can't.

Slightly tapered ones are OK.

Oh and huge platforms/flatforms.

A moderate platform is OK, but beyond a certain point is, quite frankly, dangerous where i live, with all the potholes.

Plus, do they even bend when you walk?

I've gone off high platforms but I do like a slight 'thickness' to the front of high shoe because the balls of my feet explode on fire after 5 mins of walking anywhere in 3"+ heels. I also love block heels so log as the gradient isn't crazy.
 
I am on a coat hunt and I noticed it is SO HARD to find tailored feminine coats this year (or for the past few years). Almost all designers are offering trendy stuff, where are all the classics?

No oversized anything, please.(If I want oversized I’ll size up! If I want men-cut coats I’ll shop in the men’s department!)
Wrap with no buttons / open front anything. (I can unbutton/unzip if I want it that way.)
Tie belts!! (I mean, does everyone really want to look like they are wearing house coats?)
