I know we all want the same thing, to look great! Right? Nothing can spoil your look more than a conspicuous fashion faux pas (wrong step). Unfortunately, there are some fashion errors that we might not be aware of. So for the benefit of all the readers out here, I point out the most common fashion mistakes and how not only for woman, but also for men and how to avoid them.
1. The Color Issue :
A.
Wearing the wrong colors
All skin tones among us are not created equal. To look your best, choose wardrobe colors that complement your skin. Wearing the wrong colors will make your skin appear dim and; lines and wrinkles will be more evident. The lime green or hot pink that you saw on the runways may look fabulous on the models, but horrible on you. Experiment with different colors and stick with the palettes that look best on you. Don't waste your money on clothes that make you look pale, sallow, or washed out.
B.
Wearing red and green at the same time.Honestly, you will look horrible. Red and green are two of the colors that you absolutely must avoid wearing together. These colors completely clash, so just stay clear. Also, it’s best to stay away from green and red makeup. If you decide to go for a green eyeshadow, don’t put on a bright red lipstick. Instead, opt for a clear gloss or a nude color.
C.
Wearing too many Colors.
A common fashion mistake is using too many colors. As a general rule wear up to three (or four if u can't avoid to) colors only, for a easy on the eye coordinated look.
2. The Shoes :
A.
Dirty shoes.
It would be bad enough if you had shoes that were out of shape, or didn’t match with your outfit, but if you have dirty shoes, you’re making a big fashion faux pas. Make sure to keep your shoes in right shape and most importantly, clean!
B.
Bulky shoes with slim/feminine dress
A floral, feminine dress should never be paired with bulky shoes such as thick platforms. This kind of dress deserves a pair of soft, delicate shoes. Anything with a small heel, and even wedges or flip flops.
C.
Messy Shoes
Take care of your shoes as they complete your look. Also ensure that your shoes complement your outfit.
3. Make-Up :
A.
Too much makeup
Too much makeup creates a harsh look and makes lines appear deeper. Keep your daytime makeup light and evening makeup a little darker. If you are unsure of makeup application techniques, see a professional.
B.
Inappropriate makeup
Light for day, heavier for evening, sheer for sports. You wear different clothes for different activities in you life; your makeup should change as well.
4. Accessories :
Wearing accessories is important most especially if you are wearing something simple because the embellishments actually accent your outfit.
A. Too Many Accessories
A common mistake that many people commit though is wearing too much of them. Keep accessories to a minimum. Button or hoop earrings are acceptable for a daytime look. For an evening, make one piece, e.g. chandelier earrings or embellished purse. don't wear a heavy necklace and chandelier earrings at the same time. always have a key element that draws attention and keep the rest of accessories neutral.
B. Using the wrong accessories.
Finish off with accessories that match your style and don’t over do it. For example with necklaces choose the correct length. Short chains and chokers tend to make your neck appear larger. If you are going out in evening wear make sure your handbag is sleek, small and coordinated, a big slouchy bag will totally ruin the look.
5. Undergarments :
Selecting the wrong undergarments is also fashion mistake. Choose the right underwear.
A. Revealing plain white or black bra straps and thongs
Some underwear just looks better inside. No matter how expensive the plain white sports bra is, keep it concealed. Same applies to transparency level of your clothes: wear white or bra with white shirts and black/colored bras with black ones, and not vice versa.
B. Size
Buy the correct size in your undergarments. as they make a big difference in.... how your body looks under your clothes. Wearing the right size will allow you to avoid revealing-lines, bulges and sagging.
5. Hair :
Don't color your entire hair again and again. At the salon, the stylist has likely lightly retouched the roots when they have grown through and then refreshed the ends. By doing the entire hair repeatedly the color can be uneven and the ends are over-porous. Then the ends will become dried out, making them harder to style and easier to split. Try to apply the color only to the new growth of roots, spread the color through the rest of the hair just briefly (only a few minutes), then shampoo out.
A. Hair Styling products
Use the right styling product for your hair-type. If you have fine hair and you are trying to avoid the flat look, then why do you apply heavy gel which only serve to had weight? Gel is best used thinly at the roots to lift the hair, then comb it outward to reduce frizzy hair and to give you a wet look. Always hold the can of hairspray at least a foot from your head rather than getting it closer and over spray till your hair is so wet.
These fashion mistakes tend to come from people not accepting their body type and wearing the latest fashion just because its popular and I wish you are not one of them . To look your best, always be true to yourself and you will present a stylish confident look that will create the right impression for all occasions.
