Between oversize coats, fall shades of gray and emerald, and ladylike layers of leather, there's plenty to keep you clothed (and stylish) this season. But there are three trends so sad and unflattering that we'd rather you go naked than partake in their unfortunate popularity.

Muppet Coats Miss Piggy is right up there with Beyonce if we're talking HBIC role models. But skinning a Henson character to make your coat just seems cruel.

Rounded Shoulders Speaking of slouchy, Igor, your posture means nothing if we can't even tell where your shoulders are (or if they even exist).
