The zillion sloppy details that taint a well-orchestrated dress-up extravaganza
Irrespective of the season and occasion, fashion blunders are pretty prevalent. Those lead to serious messes and make us look back in cringe and horror. So, we are on to revealing a few fashion mistakes many of us are committing with full zest and vigour.
Zero accessories with an outfit is less scarier than their abundance but still prove to be a bummer. Pairing the right accessories to accentuate the look is part of a smart dress-up game for they add style, class, and vibrance to an outfit. If you are trying to nail a certain look, the attempt would remain incomplete without the pieces. At times, fashion accessories give an edge to even a simple, nondescript outfit, giving you the million-dollar look. Go geddit?
A little colour could be fun but too many cooks indeed spoil the broth. Too many colours in an outfit not only overdo it but also lend a garish and confusing air to it. What oft goes wrong is with the mix and match of neutral and complementary colours or with contrasting combinations. Since colours are an integral part of apparel, it is safe to swear by one or two primary colours with an accent in one.
Fake brand products might temporarily give you the feeling of power and possession but rob you of class and sophistication. The rise of Insta influencers has added to this fallacy and shoppers are frequently falling prey to cheap copies. The outfits are often purchased for a couple of posts and rot away in the wardrobe forever—everything that sustainable clothing stands against. In reality, all the glimmer and sparkle of the fake products practically end up doing the opposite of beautifying you.
The concept of outfit proportions boils down to the size and fit of an outfit. For instance, it is never a wise idea to pair a tight pair of jeans with an equally tight top.
An oversized top should best not be paired with a baggy bottom. The balancing quotient suggests considering the fit of the top and bottom while choosing a pair. A flowy blouse would look wonderful on a pencil skirt but not so much on a flowy, fluffy one.
Too many eccentric items on you would be an epic distortion. Accessories that scream attention are a big NO. The case also applies to wearing too many patterns which ultimately overwhelms the entirety. Go with one statement piece and tone down everything else. Large brooch, shiny handbags, flashy pins, and jingling accessories in bright hues are a few to mention.
The very act of impulse buying or mindlessly buying something that looked good on somebody else reflects the sheer ignorance of one’s individuality and style. This lack of awareness depletes money without adding to the style and aesthetics of an outfit. Quite a hit-and-miss game.
Brand commitment is a tricky thing. Sometimes it yields, and sometimes it backfires. Devotion to brands often meddles with the quality and vibe of a product. It also blindfolds shoppers into a blissful oblivion. Body, shape, and preferences are to be prioritised over brands to know for a fact that what you are wearing complements you.
Well, styling is not always splurging. In fact, mindful styling habits water down expenses on the trivial items which are bought in moments of doubt.
