Outdated Outfits That Will Always Haunt Christina Haack

One of the most well-known faces on HGTV is Christina Haack. The house flipper has become a staple on the network, even becoming the host of her own popular renovation series called "Christina on the Coast." Similar to her transformed properties, Christina Haack's hair and makeup are so different now compared to her first HGTV appearance. The most noticeable difference is how Haack has flip-flopped between different aesthetics over the years, although some of her outfit choices haven't felt timely. 

Haack has proven that she's willing to experiment with her wardrobe. She maintains a balance between casual ensembles that she can wear when working on a home renovation and flattering dresses when making public appearances. Sometimes, Christina Haack dresses for revenge in black with revealing hemlines. Other times, she dresses based on her location by embracing bohemian styles at coastal properties or opting for a chic cosmopolitan outfit while in a fast-paced city. 

But her attempts to dress edgy and unique have led to quite a few questionable choices. This is especially true when it comes to fabrics, like leather and denim, which feel much more in tune with decades past. Her problem is usually that she goes too big, trying to make statements with her wardrobe that just don't land. Now, let's take a look at some of her most outdated garments.

Christina Haack's body definitely looks great in the popular slimming fashions of the '70s, but just like disco, some things are better left in the past. Case in point: Haack in her textured black jumpsuit. The body-hugging silhouette and bell-bottom flares scream "Saturday Night Fever." It looks so much like a costume that it's hard to take this 'fit seriously. Even in a single-toned black with a hint of sparkle, the cut and the shape of the garment look out of place among modern trends. 

Is there anything that feels quite as '90s as denim everything? In July 2020, Christina Haack seemed to be taking inspiration from Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's iconic red carpet moment. Whether it's in the form of a dress,  a jumpsuit, or a shirt with lots of denim patchwork, Haack loves to dress up a jean look. But she just can't stray from the outdated silhouettes, which keeps these outfits from looking like a style win. 

Remember the black studded choker necklaces from the '90s that embodied the grunge era? While those worked as an accessory, Christina Haack took the trend a bit too far by making it the focus of an outfit. She wore a minidress that consisted of silver studs throughout the garment for a bit of edge. Her super short skirt is one of the times Christina Haack showed off her killer legs, but they couldn't distract from the off-putting dress material. She'd be smart to keep the studded look more subtle by designating it to high heels or jewelry. 

Christina Haack embodied the look of a "cool mom" back in 2014 by layering a fluffy sleeveless vest on top of a knitted sweater. The problem was that the feathered material made the vest look more like a theatrical boa. In true 2000s fashion, the appearance of a thick scarf swallowed her and looked super dated. She fit the stereotype of a diva with her outfit which was complete with freshly straightened hair and a thin gold necklace. All that was missing were dark sunglasses and an iced coffee nearby. 

Christina Haack has made it very clear that she loves a number of fashion trends that peaked in the '90s. Way back when, oversized outerwear looked cute on stars like Julia Roberts, but Haack's use of big, bulky jackets doesn't do anything for her shape. In fact, they undermine her stellar figure by draping her in fabric that distracts from her toned body. Plus, she pairs them with fitted pants, which makes the entire outfit feel disjointed.  

We get it — as a mother, it's always a good idea to have comfortable pieces that can be easily worn anytime. And since Christina Haack had a newborn in 2016, we can't fault her for having an article of clothing that can be grabbed quickly when walking out the door. Still, this camouflage design feels too heavy and busy for such a simple garment. The Y2K-favored design of her sleeveless button-up feels especially out of place when paired with Haack's shiny accessories.
