Clothes are all about expressing yourself and your unique personality, but that doesn’t mean that all style rules should be thrown out of the window. Check out these 3 fashion mistakes you should avoid to look good and feel confident.
1. Drowning in shapeless clothes
Oversized dresses and baggy pants are extremely comfortable, but they should only be worn on the couch. Choose clothes that play on your best features, such as deep necklines or cinched-in waists, if you want to highlight and draw attention to them. Shapeless clothing makes you appear larger than you are.
2. Wearing clothes that don’t fit
You may think you’re hiding behind that oversized T-shirt and baggy track pants, but you’re actually exacerbating the situation! Find clothes that are well-fitting and skim your figure to help lengthen your frame and create a sleek silhouette. Baggy clothing simply draws attention to the areas you’re attempting to conceal and adds bulk to your figure.
Similarly, clothes that are too tight or too small will not benefit your style. While figure-hugging dresses can look great, fabric that clings to the body or rides up will most likely leave you feeling uneasy and adjusting your clothes all night. Bursting seams will never be fashionable.
3. Buying badly fitting underwear
A set of well-fitting, high-quality lingerie is very important. If the foundation is incorrect, the final appearance will suffer. Many things can change over time, but most ladies stick to their old underwears and assume (or at least hope) that they are still the same size, no matter how many children they’ve had or how many extra kilos they’ve gained.
Visit your local lingerie store for a professional fitting to ensure you’re wearing the correct size. You’ll be much more comfortable, and your back and shoulders will appreciate the added support.
