23 Feb Some Common Mistakes in Fashion! (Part 1)

When we talk about mistakes in fashion, we don’t mean wearing clothes that make a person look inappropriate or put him on the list of bad-looking people. Instead, these mistakes mean old habits in dressing that people usually refuse to give up. Some beliefs regarding dressing and matching regarding dressing and matching regarding dressing and matching have been used for a long time. But some common and even small fashion mistakes can ruin your style. In the following, you will learn about some common fashion mistakes to eliminate them immediately. 

Different mistakes in fashion

You shouldn’t wear white clothes in the cold season.

This outdated rule is considered one of the mistakes in a fashion that you shouldn’t follow. According to some designers and fashion stars, white is suitable for cold and cool weather and gives you a modern and unique look in winter. When you want to choose white color for the winter season, remember that the fabric is essential. Lighter materials like cotton and white linen aren’t suitable for autumn and winter. But you should use wool, cashmere, fur, mohair, flannel, silk, and white leather for cold seasons.

Your dress size is permanently fixed.

The size of clothes varies according to the store, brand, and type. Cheaper clothes usually come in larger sizes so everyone can fit comfortably. So, when buying, don’t just pay attention to the size of the clothes; if possible, try them on or examine their dimensions more carefully. By observing this easy point, you can eliminate other mistakes in fashion.

You wear old-fashioned clothes without modernizing them.

Fashion is cyclical, and what was fashionable a few years ago comes back into use after a while. Of course, you shouldn’t wear clothes from another decade in the same way because it will make you look ten years older. Maybe others think you have come to a “masquerade” or “Halloween” party! For example, wear an old sweater from the 80s with skinny jeans, leave your hair down, and wear ankle boots. Wear vintage midi or mid-length skirts with a leather jacket and pointed leather heels. In today’s era, these skirts shouldn’t be used with silk and pearl necklaces!

You always take the “dry cleaning” label on your clothes seriously.

One of the words that are written on many clothes is “dry clean only.” There’s nothing wrong with following this advice and leaving your clothes to the dry cleaners, but this method will cost you more. You must have paid attention to the clothes’ labels to know how to wash or iron them. Sometimes even the clothes aren’t delicate enough to need dry cleaning. Many quality brands that make their clothes with washable fabrics put the words “dry clean” on their clothes to add a class! In addition, the texture of certain fabrics, such as cashmere, is preserved better if they are hand-washed than if they are dry-cleaned.

Do you think tall women shouldn’t wear high heels?

Some old beliefs must be forgotten forever. Remove from your mind statements such as very high heels aren’t appropriate for a woman, a woman shouldn’t attract all the attention, or tall women shouldn’t wear high heels. Many famous women always wear heels despite being tall. People like Jenna Lyons, Charlize Theron, Michelle Obama, Karlie Klass, and… are included in this category.

You buy from Instagram pages.

In today’s world, many purchases are made through Instagram pages. Are you buying a bag just because you love it or want to tell others about it? If you believe in an outfit or accessory, do you enjoy it without sharing it on your page? If your answer to this question is negative, you should change your shopping habits slightly.

You strongly avoid horizontal lines on clothes.

“Clothes with horizontal lines will make your body appear wider”; this statement is entirely wrong. Of course, tight-fitting women’s shirts with horizontal lines look beautiful only on dress models, but clothes that are the right size will be stunningly beautiful on any lady. For example, a women’s shirt with horizontal lines and dark jeans, a women’s skirt with horizontal stripes, or a striped skirt is ideal for you.

You only wear one particular color in your clothes.

Highlighted and unique colors are better when placed next to other colors in this category. If you’re wearing an emerald-colored silk blouse, pair it with pink heels or grab a yellow handbag next to it. These combinations will make you a fashionable lady.

You hate shopping and trust your old clothes.

Don’t hesitate to change your old-fashioned garments if you aren’t interested in clothes and fashion but want a pleasant look. In this case, you will look younger, and you may enjoy more modern and newer clothes and accessories. You don’t need to change your style; update it.

You think menswear is only for men.

We don’t mean that you should go to men’s suits for shopping, but some men’s styles and clothes are also beautiful on women’s bodies. Some men’s shirts, loose pullovers, and unique jackets for women can also be used.

You just put the sweatshirt in the category of casual clothes

This dress has a special place for athletes and runners, but you can also consider its outerwear. Famous fashion designers such as Kenzo, Philip Lim, Cynthia Rowley, and Karen Walker have presented new styles in which flared skirts, slouchy pants, and necklaces are paired with only slightly loose long-sleeved blouses.

Mixed prints on your clothes look crowded and cluttered.

Wearing clothes with various designs and prints will change your style from casual to more up-to-date. Of course, professional designers don’t suggest using completely different patterns like floral and stripes simultaneously, but wearing leopard and army print fabrics is a simple way to try combining other prints. Whatever design you choose for your outfit, add a leopard or army print belt, shoes, bag, or tank top.

You don’t use a combination of gold and silver.

Avoid using gold and silver separately. With this thinking, you are missing out on the attractive trends of mixed metals in rings or layered necklaces.

You think that red color is not suitable for a wedding ceremony.

You might forbid yourself from wearing a tight-fitting dress shirt in red, but at the same time, you don’t want to have this dress in another color. This notion dates back to a time when red was thought to be too seductive. These days, many stylish red dress shirts are designed and offered, which are very suitable as formal dresses, and you can see different examples of them in red carpet events. In this ceremony, many celebrities wear stylish and classic red shirts, which are eye-catching without being particularly glamorous. Don’t forget this rule: Choose a dress shirt that has smooth lines and is made of chiffon, silk, or organza. Shiny satin or very tight fabrics minimize the beauty of the dress.

You get stuck in one season’s clothes.

If you have splurged a little on clothes, you should not wear them for the rest of your life. If you feel this dress is out of fashion or old over time, discard it. You don’t have to wear the same expensive clothes every season.

You think classic clothes are costly.

Most people can’t or at least don’t prefer to spend much money every season to buy their clothes. For this reason, brands such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Century 21, which have more reasonable and lower prices, are considered fashionable clothes. Even some other brands such as Zara, ASOS, and Uniqlo also offer woolen overcoats, leather boots, woolen sweaters, and silk slips that can be used at all times regardless of fashion and, of course, are reasonably priced.

Rhinestones are of little value to you.

Fashion designers don’t recommend using fake and non-original bags, but according to them, you can use jewelry as small accessories without worry. Since the naked eye can’t detect non-genuine stones, their use is unchecked.

If you are fat and wear baggy clothes to look slimmer

If you also think that loose clothes make you look thinner, you are very wrong. The area below the chest and above the waist is considered the narrowest part of the female body. So it’s better to choose a dress that is a little tighter in this area or tie a belt above your waist to make yourself appear thinner than you are.

Wash your denim as you would other clothes.

Denim clothes conform to the body’s shape with repeated wear and lose this shape when washed. It takes six months for raw and unwashed denim to reach the desired shape, and it shouldn’t be passed during this time. Of course, many of today’s pants and other denim clothes are washed before being sold to get a better look and no longer need a particular time to clean. To prevent denim from smelling, hang them in the bathroom while you shower, or put them in a plastic bag in the freezer for a day or two. You can flush these clothes in shorter intervals and when stained or worn.

Long-crotch pants are inappropriate and fattening.

If you wear these pants correctly, they will help make you look taller and slimmer than they are by creating an optical illusion and elongating your lower body—ankle-length, absorbent, high-waisted black pants slim you down more than any other pants.
