conspicuous fashion faux pas.
Here you'll find top women's
fashion mistakes and blunders you may have noticed on other
people, but you haven't committed them yourself, right?
Think again. Have a look around, these blunders are more
common than you think and many of these can be applied to
men as well as women.
Common
Fashion Mistakes & Blunders
Your clothes don't fit
correctly.
Wearing baggy clothes can
add pounds. Clothes that are too small accentuate unsightly
bulges. Don't buy anything thinking that it will be "just
right" if you lose weight. Look good now. If the size tag
bothers you, cut it off.
Wrinkled clothing.
That great suit or dress
won't flatter you unless it's wrinkle-free. Avoid this
fashion mistake and buy clothes that don't wrinkle or keep
an iron handy.
Dressing too trendy.
Don't try to satisfy every
trend in one day. You'll probably just end up looking silly.
Mixing two seasons in
one outfit.
Your pieces will contradict
each other. Stick with one-season fashions.
Evident bra and panty
lines.
Wear proper fitting
undergarments under your clothing. If they do fit you
properly and you still have lines, then your clothing is too
tight.
Exposed undergarments.
Avoid this fashion faux-pas!
Keep your bra straps properly adjusted so they're not
hanging out. If your pants are low-rise, your panties should
be too.
Too much white.
White makes you look larger
so limit this color. Don't even think about wearing white
slacks or pantyhose unless you want to add bulk.
Your skirt or dress is
too short.
Be comfortable. Make sure
you can sit down without having to worry about what areas
you're exposing.
Wearing too many colors
at once.
This will make you look
undecided. Stick with one to three colors.
Too many prints.
Don't try to mix and match
prints or you'll look way too busy. Patterns don't look good
on everyone. If you're one of those people that look good in
just about anything, choose a pattern on the top or bottom,
not both.
Using the wrong
accessories.
Top off your look with
accessories that match your style. Choose the correct length
necklace. Short chains and chokers tend to make your neck
appear larger. Don't over-accessorize.
Wearing multiple shades
of denim.
Skip the head-to-toe denim.
It's ghastly and will make you look unorganized and cheesy.
Dark colored clothing,
light colored shoes.
Or visa versa. Keep your
clothing and shoes in the same color family. White and black
go with anything, but don't make the mistake of mismatching
light and dark colors.
Large shoulder pads.
This fashion trend went in
and out the 80's. If you wear shoulder pads, make sure they're
thin and unobtrusive.
