They say the first impression is the last, so appearing well-organized and put-together should be a daily habit.
To avoid these fashion faux pas, know your personality and dress accordingly. Keep it clean and simple.
These mistakes will derail all of your efforts to look great, even if you have invested time and money.
It is a fact that you should dress the way you want to be addressed. We’ve all heard the phrase “never judge a book by its cover,” but appearances do matter a lot.
People’s perceptions of you are influenced by your appearance. As a result, make sure your appearance corresponds to your self-image and how you want people to interact with you.
This entails paying attention to details and correcting flaws that may jeopardize your appearance, particularly outside of your clothing.
Here are some mistakes to avoid that will make you appear cheap.
Unclean shoes
Shoes that are dirty, scratched, torn, faded, or dyed will always appear untidy and cheap. Despite being listed below, shoes are important outfit accessories. A good pair of kicks will draw attention and compliments, but a bad pair of shoes will immediately detract from your outfit and appearance.
NB: Invest in high-quality shoes; when your feet sparkle, your entire outfit shines.
Wrinkled clothing
I don’t have a flat iron, so my clothes are wrinkled. Wrinkled clothes can be seen from a mile away, and you will appear cheap no matter how expensive the clothing or labels are.
Revealing too much skin
Famous stylists advise that you only show off one body part per outfit. If you’re showing off skin on your upper body, keep your legs covered. Make sure your upper body is covered if you want to show off your legs.
Keeping up with trends
The problem with trendy outfits is that everyone knows when you bought them. Keeping up with trends, on the other hand, can be costly and risky. So, if you’re not ready to keep up with trends, buy clothes that will remain relevant over time.
Too many bold colors
If you’re having trouble matching colors, try mixing different articles in different shades of the same color. Otherwise, bright colors should be paired with neutral or muted hues. Wearing bright colors may not always be appropriate; always consider the occasion, location, and time for such bold statements.
You run the risk of coming across as obnoxious, trying too hard to impress, or lacking in fashion sense.
Nail polish without a manicure/pedicure
Leave the polish on if you don’t have time for a manicure. It will appear sloppy and will draw attention to your hands. When you’re short on time for a manicure or pedicure, go with colorless polish.
Follow the rule: hygiene comes first.
