Each season also brings us new fashion trends. Some are beautiful, others drop dead and still others are just fashion flops. And, for the fall, there may by a few types of shoes that appear to be the least offensive when we first see them, but are best left outside your closet. In the below list of fashion mistakes to avoid you will find a few ways to ensure you remain fashionable and self-assured.
1. Over-the-Top Fringe
A little bit of fringe can be fun, for example in a detail on a bag or jacket. But too many fringe details can start to seem messy and overwrought. Fringe-heavy skirts, or jackets, can be pretty tasteless and can even age you.
2. Neon Shades in Fall
Because unlike autumn’s cozy, warm vibe, neon colours scream summer. This season it’s all about earthy colors: brown, beige, rust, olive green. Add to that the fact that wearing neon can make you stand out in the wrong ways.
3. Super Chunky Platform Boots
Boots are a fall necessity, but super chunky platform boots can be a bit uncomfortable and, at the very least, impractical. They are painful to walk in and rarely coordinate well with fall outfits. Slip on a pair of sleek ankle boots or knee-high boots instead.
4. Head-to-Toe Animal Prints
Animal prints are a great way to bring an edge to your outfit. But head to toe, they can look overpowering. Instead of head-to-toe cheetah or zebra, wear prints in moderation, such as a leopard scarf or printed shoes.
5. Metallic Everything
A little shine is fun for a party outfit; but head-to-toe metallic jackets, pants and tops are too much. Soft textures such as wool, suede and knits work best in this autumn fashion trend. 3) Metallics are only for special occasions.
6. Oversized Puffy Coats
While you do, in fact, need to stay warm, some of the oversize puffy coats are, well, oversize. They can add pounds and obscure your outfit. Opt for a fitting coat that doesn’t make you too bulky or uncomfortable.
7. Micro Mini Skirts
Mini skirts are cute, but it’s fall — when you layer up for warmth. “Ultra-short skirts” don’t jibe with the season and can feel impractical. Why not opt for midi skirts or longer lengths that’ll ensure you’re being both stylish and comfortable!
8. Over-Accessorising
Accessories add flair to an outfit, but too many rings, necklaces and belts can look frenetic. This time around, it’s all about sleek and classy items that make your ensemble pop, rather than take over.
9. See-Through Fabrics
Summer was the season of breezy tops and dresses, some of them sheer, but come fall, nothing says cool-weather ease quite like a cosy layer. In cold weather, see-through fabrics make no sense and can make you feel cold too. Stick to thicker, season-friendly materials.
10. Trend Over Comfort
The biggest mistake is to wear something only because it’s trending, even if it’s not comfortable. Clothing ought to have the ability to make you feel confident and comfortable. For every fall, find a happy medium between style and comfort so you don’ t end up falling straight on your a**.
