10 Fashion Faux Pas You Probably Don't Realise You're Committing

Fashion faux pas’, we’ve all made them. You could be walking around in a coffee-stained blouse or have a tag hanging out. Their easy fashion mistakes to make and you’re definitely not alone. 

Of course, you can dress whatever way makes you feel your best and fit your personal style, but here are 10 common fashion faux pas you may not even realising you're making, so you can avoid them in the future! However, if you happen to be making these mistake on purpose don't fret, fashion is all about personality and style, so there are no wrong answers in the world of style.

Pet Hair On Black Clothing

Obviously, it’s okay to give your pet a cuddle before you leave the house, but if they shed and you’re wearing black you might want to consider running a lint roller over your clothes before you step out.

White sneakers that are no longer white

The worst thing about white shoes is how easily they become no longer white. Dirty sneakers (unless intentional) can make outfits look messy.

Pilling jumpers

There is nothing more heartbreaking than when your favourite sweater starts to pill and can cause a not so polished look. It's an unavoidable inevitably though, so don't stress too much if this happens to your favourite knit.

Crocs

Enough said.

Too many accessories

With so many great accessories out there and with hair clips trending, it’s easy to go overboard. Keep it simple and go from there.

Stained or ripped clothes

Unless it’s intentionally distressed denim or ripped shirts a la 'Yeezy', stepping out in foundation stained t-shirts or tights with ladders can cheapen an outfit and make you look less put together.

Uncomfortable shoes

Whether their too tight, too big or too high. You need to be able to walk in your shoes. Hobbling around is not very chic.

Poorly tailored items

Items that are tailored poorly can instantly ruin an outfit. Make sure your hems aren’t too long, your clothes aren't ill-fitting and they’re nicely ironed.

Being able to see undergarments

You may think no one can see them, but underwear lines in tight skirts and pants or bra straps hanging out are not always a good look.

Not cutting the coat hanger loops off your clothes

We’ve all been there. But just cut them off as soon as you get home, because there’s nothing worse than seeing those hanging out of someone’s top. While you’re at it, cut off any tags too.
