No one wants to look back at an outfit and realize they committed a major fashion faux pas. With so many rules about outfits to remember, it’s tough to always look your best—but we can help. Here’s what you can do to avoid common fashion mistakes.
Buy Clothes You’ll Wear Often
It happens: you spot an incredible piece of clothing while out shopping, but you can’t think of many times to break it out. While there’s nothing wrong with buying a piece to wear to a specific event, try to steer clear of clothing that isn’t versatile. The best fits offer flexibility and can adapt to different circumstances and situations—this also helps you get the most value out of expensive pieces.
Build a Colorful Wardrobe
Everyone has that one color that just works for them, but you must branch out and create a wardrobe full of options. Wearing one color day in and day out is boring and even if you look great in black, you’ll never make a fashion statement because everyone knows what to expect.
Avoid bringing preconceived notions to the store with you when you go shopping. Look for pieces that catch your eye, try them on, and see if they work for you!
Don’t Over-Accessorize
As your collection of jewelry and accessories grows, it’s tempting to throw a bunch on all at once and wow the crowd with your gorgeous bling. Unfortunately, over-accessorizing takes away from your outfit, as it draws attention away from your look and directly to the pound of metal you’re lugging around. Instead, try selecting no more than three accessories that compliment your outfit.
Avoid Ratty Clothes
Fashion trends come and go, and one that is long gone is that of tattered jeans. Skinny jeans are a classic look that never goes out of style, but a pair of ratty, hole-filled jeans looks unkempt and unflattering. There are several dos and don’ts of skinny jeans, but this one is essential!
Now that you know what you can do to avoid common fashion mistakes, look your best without overthinking it!
