7 Fashion Mistakes You Need to Avoid

Fashion is an amazing way of to express yourself and get creative.

You can try out different styles depending on how you’re feeling, and even have it work with your own personality.

But when buying an outfit or dressing up, it’s always good to make sure that you’re on the lookout for ways an outfit just doesn’t work for you.

So here are seven ways to easily avoid fashion mistakes so you can always look your best (and save money).

1. Buying the Same Sizes (At All Stores)

The size of clothes varies from place to place.

Your size large could be a size medium elsewhere. So instead of making this fashion mistake and buying the same sized clothing, try to check their fitting out before buying a piece.

This way you can save money if it doesn’t actually fit and you know it’ll work with your personal style.

2. Over Styling

This might be one of the most common mistakes people make when it comes to their outfits.

Some people tend to overdo a look and add too many accessories. Whether it’s an extra couple layers, a hat, or scarf, sometimes too many pieces is just that.

And the best way to make sure you’re avoiding this fashion blunder and know that your outfit is always on point is to focus on keeping things minimal.

The Answer: Keep one part of your outfit as the main statement piece and find smaller pieces to compliment it well. It’s a simple way to elevate your style.

3. Logos

Minimalistic and classical looks are so much better than having “designer” logos.

I promise you, they are not worth your money. Some of these designer brands have low quality construction, and you’ll look so much better with a cute outfit that has no name printed on it.

And with just a few investment pieces, you’re probably gonna be the best-dressed person in the room.

4. Don’t Open Up Too Many Buttons

It can be a fun fashion statement to have some buttons undone, but just make sure to keep it to a couple.

Having only a couple undone keeps things more fashionable.

Also, when there are already a few buttons undone, the others can tend to come loose as well without you even realizing it.

5. Following the Newest Trends

Here’s something to keep in mind and ask yourself every time you go shopping:

If I were to see a photo of myself in this outfit in 5 years, will I think either…

a. “Wow, I looked pretty good in that outfit.”

b. “Burn the photo.”

If the answer is B and it’s a new fashion trend that people will forget about in around 6 months, then definitely save your money.

It’s a fashion disaster waiting to happen, so make sure you’re going for timeless items and not buying low-quality clothes and trend items.

6. Not Trying Out a Dress Before Purchasing

When you go shopping, you’ll see beautiful dresses hung up in the stores and you might kind of feel like you need to get it now.

Also, it’s kinda tempting to not try on dresses since the chance of them not fitting you quite right (like pants) is a lot lower.

But, it’s good to know that they’re hung up just right (sometimes they even use pins) and with good lighting.

And that’s why it’s important to make sure that those dresses will actually look good on you. So always try it on before making a purchase so you can avoid any frumpy fashion mistakes.

7. Not Caring for Your Clothes

This might just be one of the biggest fashion mistakes you can make.

After buying different outfits, it’s so important to make sure that you’re taking care of your clothes.

So always practice good maintenance when washing and keeping up your clothes. I know you might be busy and it’s easy to just not think about it, but it really is important.

It’s a great way to save money, keep a well-curated closet, and have your favorite outfits last so much longer.
