We all want to look good especially with our clothes, Even if you are a casual kind of girl or a trendy kind of man. We sometimes fall with fashion mistakes.
And sometimes we’re not even aware of them. Simply because nobody points it out because our family and friends are used to it. It’s 2019 we all need to wake up and do a tad checking on how we handle our style.
If you’re a mom with (very-hyper-taking-too-much-of-your-time ) kids just like me, A student whose going crazy with school work or just running out of clothes to wear every single day, or even someone who thinks she looks perfect every day.
You may want to check your fashion every now and then. So let me help you with
Here are 10 fashion mistakes you need to avoid.
1. Buying…….just buying.
Okay so most of us love shopping. But not everyone enjoys it. Do you hate going to malls because it’s too crowded? or because time is gold and your time are for very important things only? Oh dear, you need to think.
There are many ways to buy clothes now without going to the mall. But before you go shopping you have to consider things so your online shopping would be successful.
A. Take time to read reviews-
If the shop has good legit reviews then you’re on the right track. There are thousands of shops online so make sure to be smart and check what people are saying before buying.
B. Check their brick and mortar stores-
It’s better to at least check them personally before buying online. Or, if you have a favorite shop and you’re already familiar with their sizes and fabrics then you can just check their online shop. Why is this important?
It’s the sizing. Not all shops have the same medium, large, etc. so you have to make sure it’s a good fit, Go check them so you don’t need to visit their physical stores next time.
C. Ask for help-
If you are one of those people that can’t even leave their office because of too much work, or someone who has too many chores every single day. And you don’t mind paying extra for a little help.
Go ahead and check sites that would shop for you. These companies have stylists that are pretty good at helping people find their style with the fit they need. Without taking too much of your time.
2. Not trying it on-
Okay, so I just mentioned above how you can grab a cool outfit online for people who are the busiest of the bees. But, In general, we all go shopping we love it. But,
There’s this habit of not trying it on just because we thought that it’s our size, it looks good so it probably looks good on us,
Always remember that not all shops have the same sizing. And not all clothes are for all types of body. So take your time and just try it on.
3. Not wearing your size!
Sometimes we tend to buy clothes that are smaller or bigger than our real size. We have to stop this habit. People should realize that wearing too small doesn’t always flaunt our assets. Wearing bigger clothes do hide our jelly bellies but, we sometimes look far worse than what we thought.
Always keep in mind that we need to accept our sizes no matter what and wear our size. Embracing our size makes us more confident because we feel comfortable with our clothes and we don’t look that we’re trying too hard.
4. Following the trend-
Don’t get me wrong, There’s nothing wrong with being trendy. What’s wrong is following the trend that is not for your age and your body type. I see a lot of people following the trend just because it’s in..
Don’t get easily persuaded by salespeople when you go shopping. They only want you to buy. Now, You have to take note that there are so many styles to choose from. So, be smart.
Know your body type. No matter how big you are or how small your waist. if you don’t know which clothes flatter your best assets, You’ll be making the same mistake of buying the wrong set of clothes over and over again.
So learn the basics and you’ll realize that it’s best to wear not only making you look gorgeous but also making you feel good. So you’ll be confidently beautiful.
5. Too scared to try-
I used to be the “I love white” kind of girl. Yes, I wear mostly white blouses and shirts only, until someone pointed out to me how boring my style was. Don’t make the same mistake of my clean but boring style. Some people stick with the shirt and pants casual style or wearing their favorite color…..only. There’s nothing wrong with that.
You just need to level up your wardrobe and try something you’ve been wanting to try. Add an accessory. Try a bolder color. There’s nothing wrong with asking for a bit of help with the professionals or doing the research yourself. You’ll feel a lot younger, better and making you love yourself more.
6. Taking the belt for granted
A belt is not just an accessory. This is something that you shouldn’t ignore. I’m not saying wear a belt every day. But you should realize how one belt can easily change not just the way you look.
But how it can make you look, younger, trendy, hip, and sexy. Not just in jeans and shorts but with dresses too. A belt can make a loose dress a lot sexier and appropriate.
7. Washing all your clothes the same way-
Don’t be lazy about this. All you need to do is read your clothes caring instructions everytime you purchase one. Or know your fabric. You can’t just mix your jeans with your satin dress.
Or dry all your clothes directly under the sun. This is just one of the many things that busiest people are not aware of. We grew up separating colored clothes to white ones and dark ones.
But there’s actually more than that. Some clothes may shrink, change its color, because of us ignoring the instructions. So, start taking care of your clothes. You’ll see how these clothes will last for years to come.
8. Unaware of the wrong pairing.
When it comes to pairing clothes, You have to take note of this. If you are wearing a loose top make sure you wear a close-fitting bottom and vice versa. Especially, wearing the same loose pair of clothes.
This can make you look very messy and excessively casual. It can make anyone look tasteless and too informal. Remember that a good balance with the right pairing harmonizes your whole ensemble making you look superb.
9. Wearing the wrong bra size-
Women should be aware of this. Most of us already know this but maybe just choose to ignore because of our busy lifestyle. But wearing the wrong bra size not only endangers your health but also make you look old or lousy.
Take your time to check the right size of your chest and buy the right size of bra. Or better yet, Ask for professional help when you buy. Don’t be scared to ask, your body will thank you for this. And you’ll definitely look good and 10 years younger on your clothes.
10. Not knowing when is too much-
We all know that too much of everything is bad. But when it comes to styling some of us tend to miss that part. Overstyling/ over accessorizing is something you need to check from time to time.
I myself love to accessorize and there is definitely nothing wrong with that. How would you know if too much is too much? First, look at yourself in the mirror, How do you look? Does it feel too much or too heavy? Then it probably is.
Just like what I’ve mentioned before, Fashion is like music, you need to find perfect harmony. Does it feel imbalance? or too loud? Then it probably is. If you wear a plain blouse or dress you can jazz up your style with a colorful purse or bag. If you’re wearing a plunging/ low neckline a nice pair of tassel or dangling earrings would be nice.
Final Thoughts:
We are all guilty with one or two or more of these fashion mistakes. But it’s never too late to fix it. Again, It’s all about finding the right harmony. There’s nothing wrong with being trendy and following what’s hot.
We just need to think and check if these trends would fit our age, Our body type, etc. Taking time to learn these things would definitely make a difference with the way we style. We feel good and we look good.
