Common Fashion Mistakes

Your makeup is applied, your hair is styled, and you're ready to go out. But wait... There's nothing that can spoil your look more than a conspicuous fashion faux pas.

Here's a list of the top fashion mistakes made when it comes to clothing and accessories. You may have noticed them on other people but you haven't committed them yourself, right? Have a look around and think again. These mistakes are more common than you think and many can be applied to men as well as women.

Your clothes don't fit correctly.

Wearing baggy clothes can add pounds. Clothes that are too small accentuate unsightly bulges. Don't buy anything thinking that it will be "just right" if you gain or lose weight. Live in the moment and look good now. If the size of the tag bothers you, cut it off or black it out with a marker. Seriously.

Wrinkled clothing.

That great suit or dress won't flatter you unless it's wrinkle-free. Avoid this fashion mistake and buy clothes that don't wrinkle or keep an iron handy.

Dressing too trendy.

Don't try to satisfy every trend in one day. You'll probably just end up looking silly.

Mixing two seasons in one outfit.

Your pieces will contradict each other. Stick with one-season fashions.

Evident bra and panty lines.

Wear proper fitting undergarments underneath your clothing. If they do fit you properly and you still have lines, then your clothing is too tight.

Exposed undergarments.

Not so much for play but a definite mistake for professionals. Keep your bra straps properly adjusted so they're not hanging out. If your pants are low-rise, your panties should be too.

Too much white.

White makes you look larger so limit this color. Don't even think about wearing white slacks or pantyhose unless you want to add bulk.
