Top 10 worst fashion mistakes

Have you ever seen someone walking on the street and thought, my god what is she thinking? A lot of women walk around wearing the most crazy outfits and matches thinking that they look amazing. Everyone  wants to look good when it comes to fashion. But there are a few things that we have to keep in mind when we choose what to wear… mistakes that can completely ruin an otherwise good outfit.

Whatever shape you are, there are some fashion mistakes that should be avoided. Here I have listed the top 10 worst fashion mistakes that you can make:

1. A lot of different colors

Colors can bring out the worst of you or the best. It all depends on your complexion. If you are wearing the wrong colors it can make your skin look pale and wrinkles can be more visible. Find your colors that suits you. Also remember not to mix colors that doesn’t match like purple with brown or red with green.

2. Wearing wrong fitted clothing

Some people tend to do the mistake of wearing too tight fitted outfits where you can see things you shouldn’t be seeing. If you don’t have the right body for it, please be aware. Also be careful with wearing oversized clothing. Some clothes are made to be oversized, like we can see at current trends with loose tees with high waist belts etc. But to wear a huge tee that has sleeves coming down to your elbow and looks more like a dress is not very attractive. The clothes have to be proportional to your body. If you are very tall you should avoid short tops or trousers cause it will eccentuate your length even more, as well as if you are short you should avoid too long trousers. A lot of women often wear skirts that are too short and sometimes even show parts that only your boyfriend should be seeing. If you wear a short skirt make sure not to wear a small top with it, it will make you look trashy.

3. The wrong accessories

Never over do it with the accessories. Avoid mixing styles of jewelry and wear something that represents your personality and match with your style. Make sure that you choose the right lenght of a necklace so it doesn’t make your neck look bigger or smaller. If you are dressing smart for an evening, you can wear a sleek clutch instead of a puffy bag so you don’t get all the attention to your bag. Or if you wear a big belt, make sure it doesn’t take over your outfit.

4. Too much make-up

A lot of people do this mistake. First of all you should wear the right type of make-up for the right occassion. For a daily work look, try a light make-up and stay with the natural look. The natural look is more sophisticated and people will actually take you more serious if you are not wearing a lot of heavy make-up. For an evening out you can go for a more smoky darker make-up. Make sure that you wear colors that suits your complexion. And never over do it with the foundation. Sometimes I see women with an edge around their face where the foundation ends, it’s just hideous. If you wan’t a simple fresh looking cover I recommend a powder which is easy to apply and takes no time.

5. Wearing the wrong clothes at the wrong time

Avoid wearing short skirts for work. It obviously depends what typ of job you have but in an office environment you should try to avoid clothes that are challenging like short skirts, deep cleavage, wide necklines or to much jewelry. Try to keep the professional style at work and leave your more “sexy” clothes for evening hours.

6. Wearing different patterns

A lot of different patterns will make you look messy. If you for example wear a stripy top, don’t wear a flower printed skirt. Instead stick to one piece with patterns and match it with a plain simple color. Keep in mind, less is more.

7. Wrong hair due

Sometimes people seems to be stuck in a hair due from another century. Ok, some hair dues comes back into trends but make sure you are not outdated, it can ruin your whole outfit. Avoid messy hair. If you have a bad hair day, you can just brush it up and make a simple pony tail.

8. Visible panty line or bra

If you wear a white dress or white trousers you should avoid dark colored underwear and it might be a good idea to wear g-string. Stick to to colors same as your skin tone. If you are wearing a top with a low back be careful not to show your bra, it just doesn’t look good. Find a bra that is made for low back clothing so you can hide it. If you are wearing a halter neck dress or top make sure to find a bra with a halter neck strap. Something I would avoid is the transparent straps, they draw more attention than normal straps because it’s so obvious that you are trying to hide them.

9. Trying to follow many different fashion trends

Don’t try to wear everything. The worst thing you can do is to mix different fashion trends in one outfit. Stick to one and keep it simple.

10. Elder dressed as youngster

Something I can’t stand seeing is when elder women tries to dress like a teenager. When you get older you have to make sure to wear something that’s appropriate for your age. It’s better to show less than too much. You can still look hot with a trendy outfit, but trendy for your age group.
