It is the season to be jolly but the Holidays can also turn into a season of woe especially if you get caught in a fashion disaster. Preparing for this “challenging” season is always the best way to remain glam and fab but the truth is, not everyone has the luxury of time and money. Fear not, though. Arm yourself with these basic fashion mistakes to avoid and you’ll be fashionably safe for the season.
1. Too much glitz. It’s the Holidays so wear something shiny, right? Well, not all the time. If you are starting to shine brighter than your Christmas tree, then that should be a warning sign. But it’s not just the obvious that you want to avoid. For example, if you are on the busty side, wearing a glitzy sweater may not be an appropriate choice. Now, we are not saying you should stay away from glitz. But sometimes, the best sparkle comes in small forms like a beaded clutch, a sparkly pair of ankle boots or a hint of glittery eye shadow.
2. Too much skin. Remember, the goal is always to look sexy, not sleazy. Unfortunately, there is a fine line between this two and it is a line that is often transgressed. There is nothing wrong with accentuating your assets but the key is always to do it with taste. For example, a lace-trimmed camisole under a blazer hints at great cleavage, a halter dress can be a sexy and decent way to show off toned arms while a pair of sexy ankle boots paired with a skirt can showcase your lovely legs.
3. Too vague. Dress codes can be tricky. When does it become cocktail? What exactly is dressy casual? Can you wear ankle boots to a cocktail party if you are wearing a cocktail dress? What sort of women’s shoes should you wear to a dressy casual event? You are not alone in deciphering these tricky dress codes. The best way to approach a situation like this is to wear something that spans codes and categories like a little black dress.
