What are some common fashion faux pas and how can I avoid them?

Most common fashion mistakes:

Wearing the wrong size - ironically, if you are skinny and wear clothes that are tight or loose you will look even skinnier; if you are a larger size and wear clothes that are tight or loose, you will end up appearing larger that you actually are. So, proper fit is crucial to looking great.  Don't ever care about the size on the label; most people vary anyways about 2-3 sizes depending on the brand.

Wearing the wrong foundations - different clothes require different foundations; make sure your bra and panties fit properly, so that there are no visible lines; if needed, seek professional help.

Wearing the wrong colours - experiment with different colours and steer clear of the ones that make you look jaundiced or washed out. - wearing more than three colours at a time

Remember that patterns count for one colour and stay away from mixing them for a more stylish look

Dressing too young - It is never attractive and it actually has the opposite effect, making people look older than they are. The remedy: if it doesn't seem quite right, it probably isn't.

Dressing inappropriately for the occasion - it is always better to be overdressed that underdressed; Just think about it: the feeling that you are the worst dressed person in the room surely detracts from your personal power and confidence.

Dressing too casual at work - business casual is simply a comfortably relaxed version of traditional business attire. It doesn't mean you can sacrifice professionalism for the sake of comfort.

Not paying attention to personal hygiene and grooming - runs in the pantyhose, bleeding lipstick, oily hair, chipped nail polish, missing or straining buttons are among the small details that most often let people down. Maintain the most polished appearance you can at all times.

• If you have short legs, don’t wear cropped (Capri) pants. They will make your legs appear shorter.

• If you have a tummy, avoid pleats and belts with large buckles.

• To avoid the muffin top, wear pants that sit at the waist.

• Make sure bras and panties fit properly. They can shrink in the wash.
