Sometimes you look at a girl and wonder: she is wearing basic clothes
but looks stylish. And then you look at another girl: she is wearing
expensive/trendy clothes but looks not very attractive. The price tag on your
skirt or blouse doesn’t matter because nobody sees it. But everyone sees your
ability to combine your clothes and create your own style. However, many women
make huge mistakes when choosing their outfits. In order to look stunning even
in cheap or not very trendy clothes, you need to be aware of common style
mistakes and get rid of them immediately.

Even if you think that you have a
perfect sense of style, it will be useful for you to revise what you already
know or maybe find out something new. So, here are the most popular fashion
blunders.
1 1) The wrong colors.
The first thing you should pay attention to is “your” colors, or the colors
that suit you. If you know your right colors, you can look great even without
makeup. The easiest way to find out which color is “yours” is to try on the
clothes of this color. If it’s your color, your face will as if radiate even with
no cosmetics. Choose colors that suit you the most and try to buy clothes in
this color range.
2 2) The wrong cut.
No matter how gorgeous the dress you fancy is, don’t buy it right away. First,
try it on and estimate whether it will hide your imperfections and whether it
will accentuate your merits. Know your type of figure and shapes and textures
that fit you well. When you have in mind what parts of your figure you want to
emphasize and what you want to conceal, you can easily find the appropriate
cut.
3) Blind trend hunting.
This is one of the most widespread and gross errors. Fashion is great, it gives
directions. But you shouldn’t turn into its slave or become a fashion victim.
Wearing fashionable clothes, irrespective of whether they suit you or not, is
pointless. You should, first of all, like them.
4) Untidiness.
You’ll never look stylish and attractive if you wear not very clean, crumpled
or worn-out clothes, no matter how expensive they are. There is only one
exception – grunge. Take care of your clothes. There should be no lint, stains,
holes, loose seams, and foreign matters such as hairs.
5) Breaking the balance.
Mix of styles, bold combinations of colors and prints are trendy now. What we
considered as a bad taste several decades ago, is actually trendy and topical
today. Nonetheless, there is always a certain boundary. Everything should be
balanced and harmonious. If you want to give way to your creativity and
boldness, it’s important to keep the balance. It’s so easy to overdo it. Mirror
selfies can be useful – you can assess your look from the side. If you don’t
have a knack for combining unmatchable, then it’s better not to experiment.
6) Out of place accessories.
Don’t underestimate the power of accessories. They can either complement your
look making a perfect finishing touch or spoil it completely. No accessories
and the abundance of them are two extremes some women go to and ruin their
looks. Be moderate and you’ll win. A belt, an elegant pendant, or a beautiful
scarf – these are the accessories you can safely wear.
7) Dressing not for your age.
Another unforgivable mistake is wearing the clothes that are not meant for your
age. Nothing looks more stupid than a mature woman wearing teenager-style
outfits or a young girl wearing some posh clothes (furs) preferred by more
mature ladies. This doesn’t mean that girls can’t wear women’s classics, and
mature women can’t wear stylish tracksuits. It’s important to assess the
appropriateness of this or that attire to the situation, your age, and your
figure.
