Three Fashion No-Nos!
Filed Under Brand Wave, Designer Eyeglasses, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge
Nothing screams ‘no!’ more than a woman in a skirt wearing sandals and socks, or a man in Burmuda shorts for that matter. While Prada is cool, it is not the only name in designer gear, and should not be relied on as the catchall for fashion. Below are three fashion mistakes to avoid lest you appear the modern sandals-and-socks person in your area.
Don’t over accessorize. One common mistake in the fashion world and with armature style enthusiasts, is that they go over the top with accessories until they are little more than crystal chandeliers with a person hiding inside. Jessica Simpson made this mistake at the MTV awards when she had hair bling, ear bling, an abundance of makeup and frilly, over-the-top clothing. She should have scaled down the accessories to complement the dress or scaled down the dress to make way for all of the diamonds.
Don’t match colors across space. Meaning, if you are wearing red shoes it is not tacky to also carry a red bag. Matching accessories across your body was popular in the 1970s but in 2009 this is fatal fashion. Likewise, don’t wear all of one color. White suits were popular in the 1940s, but that style has, thankfully, faded.
Don’t mix-match designer accessories. A Dior bag with Police sunglasses, Prada shoes and a Burberry jacket will only serve to make you look confused and uncoordinated. Do not go the other way and wear multiple accessories from any one designer, either. Your best bet is to wear one or at the most two designer objects against a plain canvas wardrobe of simple clothing.
