Common Fashion Blunders

Why do some of the renowned celebrities make fashion blunders? Fashion
blunders are common and visible in every walk of life and hey, whilst
you are reading this, you might even belong to the same group. Having
the best look does not always mean buying branded outfits and throwing
on all the accessories you lay your hands on! You can make a powerful
fashion statement with a simple silhouette and a teardrop pendant as
well. All of us by now must have had our share of common fashion
blunders and witnessed many such specimens who claim to be
fashionable. So, how does one avoid common fashion blunders in our
everyday life? There are simple ways to go about this and one must
consider every element that would help to complete the right look.

Common Fashion Blunders and ways to avoid them:
If that red-hot outfit looked awesome in the window display, let it
remain there! Do not buy colors that do not flatter your skin tone.
Bright colors and pale colors need to merge well with your skin,
sometimes wearing bright outfits can give a wrong impression about
your personality whereas wearing pale or light colors can make you
look washed out in totality.

So skin is in and all that jazz! Well, if you can carry off that look,
then go ahead and flaunt your body! Too much skin can really not
accentuate your looks. Ok, so that halter was designer wear and a
backless top is definitely in vogue but maybe it may not really suit
just about everybody. One of the things I have personally seen in most
parties are women flaunting too much skin with their outfits being
totally mismatched in every possible way. A simple example that comes
to my mind is pairing a really short skirt with a skimpy top like a
tube top or even a short hugging piece. A better way out would be to
combine the short skirt with a figure hugging, sequined top that
covers the mid riff area. Combine this with knee high boots to
complete the look. Even if you have the most fabulous body any girl
would give an arm and leg for, wearing an unbalanced and poorly
coordinated outfit can actually ruin the look for you. If you must
show skin, try to keep it subtle, wear a long skirt with a slit that
goes all the way to the thighs or team a halter top that highlights
your toned arms with great fitting jeans.

Always ensure you pick the right size. In other words, try on the
garment to find the right fit. Do not squeeze into the garment just
because you liked its color and cut. The worst sight one can witness
would be anybody wearing poorly fitting garments that can make him/her
look like a mistake in all respects. You do not want to display the
extra bulges and cause something to rip when you are out on a date!

I often remember this particular colleague who would turn up in some
of the weirdest combinations. Although we never deemed it right to
laugh at her antics, it always had us thinking where those
contraptions actually came from. Before I go into the details of this,
the lesson to be learned is avoid wearing clothes that are out of
style. This does not apply to all styles; fashion after all depends
upon the individual person as well. Pulling out those old clothes from
the trunk in the attic may not really work wonders for you! You can
use it for your masquerade bash,

Too much makeup or usage of inappropriate colors can also damage your
look. This is one such common fashion blunder. Before you paint the
grease on, do make an effort to check out the time of the day. The
fashion rules are light makeup for daytime and heavy makeup for the
night hours. Does the makeup suit your outfit and your skin tone?
Agreed you are not having time on hand, but that does not mean you
need to smear the lipstick beyond your natural lip line. Ugh! This
could be the sloppiest way of going about wearing your makeup.
Therefore, ensure you have enough time, pick up your brushes and apply
the makeup with ease.

If you have been really awaiting that party with tremendous
enthusiasm, and plan to dazzle everybody with all that glitz and
shimmers, then trust me, you might cause them to look away rather than
stare at you with admiration. One of the most common fashion mistakes
would be to have your entire outfit crafted with sequins or
embellishments, right down to your stilettos. Come to think of it, who
doesn't love embellishments? But you can begin with a sequined handbag
combined with a well-cut dress or wear an intricately designed top
that could go with a basic denim skirt. The trick is to balance the
elements rather than going over the top.

Remember that there is always a difference between being sensual and
sexy as compared to looking sleazy. Keep it stylishly elegant and
watch heads turn towards you!

Common fashion mistakes may soon be uncommon if you plan your wardrobe
with some careful consideration to detailing. It is normal to make
fashion blunders but with a little thought, you can have a
well-coordinated look that will surely create ripples!
