Choosing fashionable clothing can be tricky, as it can be tempting just to grab the latest hot fashion styles off the shelves and assume you are going to look great in them. However everyone has a different shape and colouring, and so just because an outfit is fashionable doesn’t necessary mean you are going to look good in it, so to help you avoid any fashion disasters here are the top 5 ‘must nots’ when it comes to choosing the latest styles:
1. Sizing - one of the worst fashion disasters you see time and time again is poor fit, which can either mean someone trying to squeeze into a pair of trousers or a shirt two sizes too small, or wearing an outfit that is too big and baggy. Try everything on before you buy it, and if it doesn’t fit don’t just get it anyway in the hope you will one day fit into it.
2. Bright Colours – it takes a lot of confidence to wear very bright colours successfully, and you will need to match and accessorize carefully to avoid creating eye watering clashes, so if you are unsure what colours go together or are uncomfortable with the thought of standing out from the crowd then you will probably not be able to get away with outfits in very bold, daring colours.
3. Skinny Trousers – skinny trousers also come and go in fashion, but remember that if you have slightly thick, muscular or dumpy legs then skinny trousers are going to highlight all of these negative aspects, so only wear them if you are sure you have long, slim enough legs to carry them off.
4. Stripes – stripes come and go in fashion, but the important thing to remember is that horizontal stripes make you appear wider, so are not very flattering for fuller figures, and vertical strips make you appear taller and slimmer, and can make you look a bit gangly if you are already quite tall and skinny.
5. High Heels - ask yourself this question before you buy any high heels, ‘can I walk in them?’ If you can’t walk in high heels then stick to a mid sized heel (under 3 inches) until you have practiced some more, as anything that is sexy about high heels is lost if you can only wobble around in them in an ungainly fashion.
