Top 10 Fashion Faux Pas To Avoid

Looking good takes some effort. Even if you are born beautiful, you should learn how to enhance your natural beauty by dressing well and presenting yourself better. But choosing the proper dress and look may not be the easiest thing to do. With so many styles and clothing pieces to choose from, you can easily find yourselves lost and caught unaware that you are committing one of the dreaded fashion faux pas.

To prevent yourself committing these fashion crimes, you first have to be aware of them. Here are the things that you absolutely must avoid in fashion.

1. Clothes that are either too small or big for you. This is likely to happen if you are fond of RTW. So to avoid this, make sure that you fit the clothes that you are about to buy. Do not be afraid to fit one or two sizes up if you need to.

2. Pants that are too long for you. They should be avoided because they have the tendency to make you look shorter than you really are. Your long pants can be remedied by a trip to a tailor.

3. Shirts/ blouses that are too long. As a rule, a good tailored shirt should not rest below your hipbone as this gives you a shorter silhouette.

4. Visible/ noticeable underwear lines. Never let yourself be caught with visible panty lines as they can be quite embarrassing. To avoid this make sure that one, you are not wearing pants that are too tight and two, you are wearing the appropriate undies for them.

5. Over accessorizing. Wearing all accessories/ pieces of jewelry all at once is simply unacceptable. You should choose on a special piece that will become your focal point. For example, if you plan to wear chandelier earrings, then you can forego wearing a necklace. You can instead choose a ring or a simple bracelet to go with your big earrings.

6. Tacky color combinations. Examples of these include red with green or neon green with hot pink. These combinations simply do not work. If you feel the urge to play with colors, then revisit the color wheel and choose two colors that are opposite each other in the wheel.

7. White shoes paired with black or any dark colored socks. Your shoes should always be darker than your socks.

8. Wearing clothes that are not right for the occasion. This is a disaster because you will not only look like a fool but you will also show disrespect to the host of a party if you did not follow the dress code.

9. Layering too much clothes. Yes, these may look cute on some celebrities but that does not mean that they will look good on you too. So if it is not wintertime, then try to keep layering to an absolute minimum.

10. Finally, wearing dirty clothes that are not pressed because they are practically signs that say that you are sloppy.
With those in mind, you can be sure that you will never find yourself to be a fashion victim again.

Fashion faux pas -would you wear a black bra under a white top?

Is this the worst fashion faux pas or could it be knee highs with a skirt?

Never! And I would never show bra straps if I was wearing a top with spaghetti straps. That's just as bad - you'd think that the strapless bra had never been invented!

However, the worst fashion faux pas has to be thongs visible out of the tops of hipster trousers. Gross!
