Netted tops.
You would think this one would be obvious. And yet you still see this MAJOR fashion don’t at clubs and on the pages of celebrity magazines. Leave the nets to the fishermen. We don’t want to see your bra. Even if it is a cute color.
Scrunchies and hair claws.
Use these for at-home purposes only. They were cool when you were in the second grade, but now they look, well, elementary. If you need a way to hold up your hair when you’re straightening, curling or blow-drying then, by all means, scrunch away. But the minute these accessories see the light of day, you’re entering the fashion danger zone. If they match your outfit, it’s still a no.
Pleather.
Either opt for the real deal or, if you’re against animal products, don’t even go there. It looks cheap—probably because it is. People easily recognize that it’s fake, so don’t try to pass it off as pleather without the “p”.
Bad beach wear.
Just because you’re going to the beach, doesn’t mean you can get away with wearing anything. Cover-ups can be especially terrible. Just remember, see through = not a do. And make sure to buy a swimsuit that fits. One-piece swimsuits are really in this season, so don’t rule them out!

I agree with jzwest that some clothes look great on some, while others don't etc. My best friend can rock the skinny jeans, while I just feel silly. But I do feel that some things are just universally bad--low rise jeans with the plummer crack? I don't think there ever will be a time when this looks good. And I admit, I have crop tops too, but I wear them on vacation and they are new. But if I was trying to squeeze into my old hoochie shirts from seven years ago, that would be a different story... |

Some people look good in skinny jeans, some don't. Some people look good in low rise pants, some don't. I think it only makes sense to follow fashion to a point where we still keep our own style and don't wear anything that doesn't look good on us. I just got back from Paris, and lots of women were wearing crop tops and low rise pants. Very, very stylishly. As long as you keep a good sense of what looks nice on you and what doesn't, I'd say don't worry about looking unfashionable in your low rise pants and crop tops. Just because now ruffled skirts are in style they won't look good on everyone. Be yourself! |
