Fashion is an ever-evolving art form that allows us to express our individuality and showcase our unique sense of style. However, amidst the vast array of fashion choices, there are some pitfalls that can turn a stylish outfit into a disastrous fashion faux pas. In this article, we will uncover the seven deadly sins of style that you must avoid at all costs. So, get ready to sharpen your fashion sense and ensure you never commit these style crimes again!

  1. Clashing Patterns: Mixing patterns can be a daring fashion statement, and can look striking and cool, but it’s essential to do it with finesse. Avoid clashing patterns that overwhelm the eye and create visual chaos. Instead, opt for complementary patterns or use solid colors to balance out the look.
  2. Ill-Fitting Clothes: Wearing clothes that are either too tight or too loose can instantly ruin your entire outfit. Always choose pieces that fit your body shape and proportions. Don’t be afraid to seek the help of a tailor or get measured for a better fitting bra to achieve a perfect fit. For special events, underwear items such as Spanx are a lifesaver as they will smooth out those lumps and bumps in slim fitting dresses and skirts. Nothing is worse than catching sight of ourselves in the mirror with dreaded back fat or an unflattering VPL.
