7 Fashion Mistakes You Need to Avoid

Fashion is an amazing way of expressing yourself and being creative.

You can try out different styles depending on how you’re feeling and even your 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 buying the same sized clothing, try to check their fitting out before buying them.

This way you can save money if it doesn’t actually fit.

2. Over Styling

There are times when we 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.

The best way to make sure your outfit is always on point is to focus on keeping things minimal.

The Answer: Keep one part of your outfit as the main centerpiece and find smaller pieces to compliment it well.

3. Logos

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

I promise you, they are not worth your money (the quality can be pretty bad), and you’ll look so much better with a cute outfit that has no name on it.

With just a few statement 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 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.

6. Not Trying Out a Dress Before Purchasing

When we go shopping, we see beautiful dresses hanging in the stores and we kind of feel like we 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 it’ll actually look good on you. So always try it on before making a purchase.

7. Not Caring for Your Clothes

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

So just make sure that you 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 and keep your favorite outfits around.
