Style Files: What Not To Wear

Disclaimer: Before I begin, I must state that I accept everyone's form of expression in what they choose to wear. Style is a way of self-expression and who am I to judge what you choose to reflect your personality? The following discusses my opinion on how one can look their best no matter what their style is.
WHAT NOT TO WEAR

Clothes That Don't Fit You


A big part of looking fashionable is how clothes fit your body. Do not wear clothes that are too small or too big. If they are too small, not only will it look unflattering but it will also make you feel constricted and uncomfortable. You should feel confident and comfortable in what you wear and if you're wearing clothes two sizes too small, you definitely won't be comfortable. Wearing clothes that are too big will hide your amazing shape and make you look unorganized and sloppy which may be the opposite of who you actually are. Of course there are exceptions such as oversized sweaters etc...

Clothes That Aren't Flattering 


Although the way clothes fit you is a part of how flattering they are on your body, that isn't my point in this particular section. Clothes may fit you but that doesn't necessarily mean it looks good on your figure. For example, shift dresses can make you look boxy and shapeless and peplums can make your hips look wider than you'd like. How well something flatters your body is key to having a well-styled look. A great outfit isn't solely dependent on how things are put together but how they look on your body.

Clothes That Are Dirty/Ripped From Wear and Tear



It may be pretty obvious to not wear dirty, stained and unintentionally ripped items but there are people out there that don't refrain from wearing these items. Wearing these items gives off a sloppy and messy vibe. Not to mention it's just plain nasty!

Clothes That Aren't Age Appropriate


There's nothing wrong with wearing clothes that make you feel youthful if you're a bit older or more sophisticated if you're young but there is a way of doing it and a fine line between young and hip and an old lady trying to fit in little kids clothing. Don't be that person.
