6 tips to avoid common fashion mistakes!

Fashion, if taken in the positive sense can stand for glamor, beauty and style. But if taken in the negative sense, it can be a synonym of fads and trends (the bandwagon effect) and materialism. We all like to look sensational and smart, but are we being cautious enough not to overdo it? The answer to this question is not always affirmative. We come across numerous examples of people (especially females) who go overboard in their pursuit of looking “fashionable”.

Here are a few tips to avoid common fashion mistakes:

  1. Wear clothes of right size: wearing small and skimpy clothes generally makes one look vulgar rather than appealing, as it highlights all the bulges of the body. On the other hand, wearing baggy outfits makes one look fatter and shabby. So try and find the right sized clothes for yourself, instead of experimenting with bigger or smaller sizes.
  2. Don’t wear wrinkled garments: Just imagine how you would react if you see a person wearing a wrinkled dress in a party. An ironed and wrinkle free outfit is always appreciated by everyone as it gives a perception of a neat and clean personality.
  3. Don’t try to dodge your age: Dress according to your age. Make-up might hide some wrinkles of an aging face, but a wrong dress would not be able to hide a sagging older body.  On the contrary, dressing according to your age would reflect maturity and elegance. Always remember that there are numerous fashions and styles and there is one to suit you – You don’t have to follow every fashion because you have seen a celebrity wear it or seen it in a fashion show.
  4. Avoid too many colors: Everyone cannot look good in the “Govinda style “of clothes. A maximum of three colors is soothing to the eyes. Anything more than that might make you look messy and foolish.
  5. Use accessories wisely: If chosen and worn properly, accessories can be used to enhance ones good points and hide his or her flaws. For example: avoid wearing a short chain or a choker if you don’t want to draw attention towards your neck as these accessories will make your neck look longer. Don’t carry a big bag with an evening gown as it just does not go with that attire. Remember sometimes even less is more so use the accessories carefully and help them add to your charm.
  6. Chose your shoes to match your outfit: As a general rule the clothes and shoes should be of same color. Black is an exception as it goes with everything.

We all try to ape our favorite film star or the most popular person in school or college, but we have to be careful that this fashion faux pas doesn’t make us feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. It’s important to keep in mind the occasion for which you are dressing up. It’s important to know when to carry a sporty look and when to look more feminine. Having the right kind of hairstyle, wearing make-up in accordance to your complexion, wearing the right kind of undergarments and perfume would definitely turn heads in your direction. Always remember that the mantra is to look ‘sexy’ and not tacky.
