Let’s get this clear, Fashion blunders are not outfits combination that will land you as the “WORST DRESSED PERSON OF THE YEAR” if there is anything like that. Rather, they are simple not so obvious things you’re avoiding or doing that can totally destroy your personal style , from shopping for the media to wearing black or white and many others . I’m sure you want to know more so keep reading.
1. WEARING BLACK OR WHITE: Black or White aside being beautiful are really easy to wear (because we think they have no special rules) but sometimes we wear them in ways we shouldn’t. WEARING BLACK: I am real fan of black Tees, in fact they are my go to Tees because well as they say, “you never go wrong with black”. But it can go wrong dear. Most of us have been in situation where we all in haste and then we just pick up that our fav black jean and black Tee of different shades. Well that was a real Faux pax. Blacks are a little different in terms of shades and could easily be mistaken or even ignored while dressing. Blacks should complement each other.
.WHITE DRESSES: (for ladies) shouldn’t be worn to weddings except stated otherwise by the couple. This is became White dresses draws some of the attention from the couple who should be the main point of attention at the event. Are you competing with the Bride?
2. TOO MANY ACCESSORIES: The most common accessory assault, is wearing too many on the wrist (both male and female) and neck which will however massively disfigure the entire beautiful look. Too many accessories can confuse the eye. Several rings, big,extrasized earrings here, stack of bangles there and layers of bead worn with chain necklaces at the same time is way too many. Are you a walking jewelry box? And I have seen some men wear a suspender and a belt all at once or wearing a neck tie, suit chain, pocket square, wristwatch, tie clips, rose and brooch at once , it good to want to show off but don’t end looking like a store. You should be the center of attention, not your jewelry. The average number of jewelry for LADIES is 13 and AT THE APPROPRIATE SIZES. For MEN who will to wear a SUIT I’ll advise 5(including your Tie, belt and wrist watch)
3. INDOOR SUNGLASSES: Firstly we have to come to remember what sunglasses are for and that should be shading sun.
This trend is common with celebrities and sadly their fans follow same trend.
Why are you wearing it indoor?
Recently I have seen people drive with sunglasses, please it is wrong and unsafe. If the sun is hitting your eyes you can use the car’s sun visor.
EXEMPTION: You can wear sunglasses indoor if the sun is inside with you
4. REVEALING TOO MUCH: it has never been fashionable for a lady to expose certain parts of her body that are by default private. If you truly believe that sexy means dressing for stereotypical guys you are doing yourself (and your style) a giant disservice. Showing too much doesn’t mean sexy, sometimes less is more because it comes out classy( a leg slit in a gown gives off a classy vibe). Decency and moderation is key. Never show too much cleavage or too much skin. Always leave a lot of things to the imagination. 5. WEARING MAKE UP TO THE BEACH: Talk about wearing makeup to a place where no make up is required, The beach. We are going for a fun time at the beach and you are putting on foundation? For what exactly? Well, I’m sure you don’t want your mascara running after a little water game or your foundation melting from the beach sun. So little or no makeup to the beach.
6. SHOPPING FOR THE SOCIAL MEDIA: A lot of people shop with Instagram in mind. You’re a breathing banner for trends and brands to the point where it looks like you have no point of view of your own, well keep up with it until you can’t. Too many people are focused on what is trending at the moment which in turn deads their style. I hate to break it to y’all trend shoppers fashion is not just clothing brands or latest labels its your PERSONAL style. Next time you’re shopping, critically look at each item and decide if you really love it, or if you’re supposed to love it this season.
7. MATCHING LOGOS/SIGNATURE: As a beginner that we all are we should really take it slow if we are going to be wearing a single brand all through with bold signature. We actually make this mistake because a certain MODEL wore matching logos and yes she did look good. But forgetting she is actually marketing a product not going on her normal business. Why stop at Louis Vuitton when Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Gucci put together in a PERFECT way makes you look good and expensive together. Let’s just say Monogamed signatures/fabrics is not for everyone and can be pretty dangerous thing in wrong hands.
8. PAIR LOOSE WITH TIGHT: There are people who pair loose with loose and tight with tight. This isn’t just an eyesore but it is also boring and can have a real bad effect on your body shape. Its makes you look rather too skinny(tight with tight) or too chunky(loose with loose). The best to do is to pair loose with tight. Try wearing a skinny jean with loose tops or baggy jean with tank tops or tight t shirt. This is spice.
9. VPL (VISIBLE PANTY/PENIS LINES): VPL is a very hideous thing to see in both men and women. And the fact that we don’t notice it as fast as those around is heartbreaking. Many people seem to neglect their undergarments because it is hidden and not something everyone else sees well you can be wrong. When dressing up you should be mindful of your undergarment especially unpleasant VPL, flying zippers and bra lines they doesn’t only disfigure the whole essence the dress but also tortures people by subjecting them to unpleasant sights. You see a Man perfectly groomed and dressed with a flying zipper or VPL or a gorgeously dressed woman and then she walks away and you notice her panty lines. Dear ladies there are so many thongs and seamless undies in the market, why not go for them. Men and ladies please check again before leaving home NEWS: I have recently seen people let out strap when they are putting on off shoulders dresses, please this shouldn’t be. Why wear off shoulders if you won’t wear them Right? Rather put in your strap or wear a strapless bra.
10. After killing that style wear A SMILE: As a smile can make a bad day go away,it can also make a faux pas unnoticeable. A smile will not only make you look attractive, it will also make you look approachable and confident. While it helps the muscles it also help brighten your day.
