Everyone has their own “going out” style—whether it’s a flashy halter or a put together blouse, but some out-on-the-town ensembles are just plain wrong. To give you a heads up on what not to wear when stepping out, we checked out a few Los Angeles hotspots, and found six faux pas we couldn’t let slide. See if any of your styles made our bad bar-wear list.



Bar Blunder No. 1
Short shorts with an extremely tight halter = Britney post K Fed. Know your body, which means knowing when you can’t pull off short shorts.



Bar Blunder No. 2
Ladies, save the silver for the tin man. Just because R2D2 looked fabulously chic in Star Wars doesn’t mean you can sport the robotic look too. Stick to either a metallic purse or a silver top. Don’t combine the two.



Bar Blunder No. 3
What did the tabloids teach us this year? Keep your goods where they belong. To avoid a potential flashing situation, realize that some short dresses are meant to be longer shirts.



Bar Blunder No. 4
Okay, this one needs to be broken down.



Problem No. 1: Tights with sandals. Is she taking a stroll at the beach or headed to the office? Don’t confuse destinations—or us.
