10 COMMON FASHION MISTAKES WOMEN MAKE.

Clothing speaks volumes about your personality and taste. Wearing a fashionable outfit makes you stand out from the crowd and also makes a statement about you and who you are.

Looking back at some of my photos from years back, I found myself cringing at some of the fashion mistakes I made; actually, it was quite funny but I'm grateful that my fashion sense has evolved and has become more mature...it's actually a Work in Progress. Like I'll always say, NOBODY IS PERFECT especially in fashion; with that in mind, I decided to reveal the top 10 FASHION MISTAKES WOMEN MAKE and their possible Solutions.

1. NOT DRESSING FOR THE OCCASION: Always know the environment and dress accordingly. The worst thing is to be over-dressed or under-dressed for an occasion. Always inquire about the dress code prior to the event so you can prepare for it. You'd feel awkward if you're over-dressed or under-dressed.

2. DRESSING TO IMPRESS PEOPLE: I watched a TV program years back where some women were asked why they dress a certain way and 90% of the women said 'it's a technique to keep their men whether they are comfortable or not'; this reason didn't go down well with me but unfortunately a lot of women ( including Me) are guilty of this or as at one time done this. It is crucial to understand that we ought to dress for ourselves, we should not focus our mindset on trying to please someone or pretend to be someone we are not. We dress to feel confident and to enjoy the art of fashion. Opt for something you're comfortable in and walk with your head high and always remember..." COMFORT is the new FASHION!"

3. TOO MANY ACCESSORIES: There are different types of accessories for different occasions. Too much accessories can destroy your entire look and make you look disorganized. Opt for minimal accessories that suit your outfit.

4. WEARING THE WRONG TYPE OF UNDER-GARMENT: Another fashion mistake women make is not choosing the right under-garment for a particular outfit. When wearing tight fitting clothes avoid boy-shorts or Lacy panties that causes clothes to cling to you or cause obvious under-wear lines.

5. CHOOSING OUTFITS THAT DON'T FIT YOUR BODY TYPE: A certain outfit might look great on a mannequin or in an Instagram post but not look good on you; we all have different body types and certain styles are not cut to suit our body shape. In choosing outfits that will flatter your body type, there are 3 main elements you should pay close attention to: (I). The waist line. (II). The length. (III). The neckline.

6. NOT INVESTING IN YOUR CLOTHES: We've heard time and time again to invest in ourselves and this should include our Wardrobes. One of the mistakes most women make, is not understanding the value of buying good clothes. You don't need to spend hundred of thousands of dollars on extremely expensive clothes just to look great. However, it is important to invest in clothes that flatters your body type.

7. WEARING LEGGINGS AS A CASUAL PANT: Leggings are not pants; they are meant to be worn to workout or as an in-house outfit. If you love black leggings because it's black and it literally matches every colour, kindly opt for some black jeans that are comfortable and wear those instead.

8. WEARING CLOTHES THAT DON'T FIT: Wearing clothes smaller than your original size makes you look smaller. Wear your size, own your body and you'll look more beautiful and decent.

9. SHOWING TOO MUCH SKIN: Some women believe showing too much skin is 'SEXY and ATTRACTIVE' but this is a fashion misconception and mistake and it is not appropriate in certain places like a corporate environment. Showing less skin is more decent and helps to reduce unnecessary attention and distraction but if you must show some skin at all, I suggest "The Rule of ONE" meaning, pick one spot on your body to show some skin and then cover up the rest; this way, you'd look tastefully Sexy like no other!.

10. NOT EVOLVING: Fashion is vast. Certain fashion styles trend for sometime, go out of fashion and come back to trend again. Some ladies however, get comfortable in a particular fashion trend and forget to evolve. It is essential to be able to maintain your Fashion comfort zone and still be flexible enough to accommodate and apply modern fashion twist and progression. As much as possible, avoid hairstyles and dress styles that are out of fashion; flow with modern fashion trends that suit your personal style.

BONUS POINT: FAILURE TO USE BODY SPRAY, ANTI-PERSPIRANT OR ROLL-ON: Everyone loves people that smells nice. Investing in a signature fragrance would go a long way in enhancing your fashion style.

Generally, ladies likes dressing for how they feel at a particular moment. However, we should be conscious that our clothing goes a long way in revealing who we are and try as much as possible to avoid these fashion mistakes and increase our overall fashion confidence!.

20 COMMON FASHION MISTAKES MEN MAKE. Pt 1.

Fashion may seem overwhelming to men and is seen as a statement only women should make. Throughout a man's growth from childhood to manhood, he learns lessons on how to look good and attractive. However, sometimes good taste in style is not a man's strong point. With this in mind, I have compiled a list of common fashion mistakes most men make while striving to be fashionable and stylish and guess what!..I also gave solutions to each of these mistakes.

Before we proceed, let's look at some reasons why you should invest time and money into improving your appearance.

#1. IT'S THE FIRST THING YOUR INTERVIEWER SEES: When you go for a job interview, your appearance is the first thing everyone notices. It was discovered that your appearance contributes at least 30% chances in you getting that dream job.

#2. ATTRACTING THE OPPOSITE SEX: Here's a piece of advice - no woman wants a man who is a fashion wack, everyone loves men that always looks smart and presentable. Improving your fashion sense would go a long way impressing and getting your dream girl.

#3. CONFIDENCE: Did you know looking great boosts your confidence? Here's a challenge for you - Go out wearing average clothes and see how you feel and the next day, wear the best clothes you have and do same. You will notice a big difference.

These above are some simple reasons you need to improve your fashion sense. Now here's a list of some fashion mistakes men make. (We would be talking about just 10 mistakes on this post and the other 10 would be discussed in the part 2 of the post).

1. WEARING SUSPENDERS AND BELTS AT THE SAME TIME: The first mistake has something to do with corporate shirts. Suspenders are meant to hold trousers up, so do belts. Do not wear suspenders and belts at the same time because they perform the same function. Choose which one to wear at a particular time; its either Suspenders or Belts.

2. WEARING A BACKPACK ON SUIT OR A CORPORATE JACKET: In the 21st century, fashion allows us to do a lot of things but wearing a backpack on suit is not the best combo. Laptop bags compliments corporate outfits more. A laptop bag would be a better option.

3. MAKING YOUR TIE TOO SHORT: When you wear a tie, remember it shouldn't be too long or too short. There is a general tie rule - The tip of your tie should cover your belt buckle.

4. WEARING OVER - SIZED SHIRTS: Over-sized clothing is still in fashion but please do not apply this look to classic or corporate shirts. Check if the shirt fits your shoulders very well; if the collar or neckline is the perfect size and if the sleeve lengths are perfect. A properly chosen shirt can emphasize the dignity of your stature.

5. WEARING OVER - SIZED PANTS: This is common amongst our fire brand, tongue talking Christian brothers. It is so not attractive seeing you on baggy and extremely long pants, it doesn't matter if you think it will fit you better in future. If you must wear pants whether jeans, chinos or suit pants, it is important that you opt for the ones that fits very well.

6. VISIBLE UNDER-SHIRTS OR UNDER-WEARS: It's not a crime to wear under-shirts as long as it is not showing. The under-shirt is considered an under-wear, so, according to fashion etiquette, it should absolutely not be visible. But if you really wish to unbutton your shirt, opt for a V-necked under-shirt instead.

7. TOO MUCH ACCESSORIES: Everyone loves people that's are well groomed and does things moderately. Too much accessories sometimes makes you look like a gangster. To achieve a cool and moderate look, opt for minimal accessories that matches your outfits.

8. WEARING SANDALS WITH SOCKS: Except you're a school boy, you shouldn't try this. Sandals are meant to be worn on bare feet so you feel comfortable but if you don't like your feet showing, then think about investing in closed toe shoes.

9. TOO MANY COLOUR COMBO: You may be a colour freak and loves to show it in and out, that's fine, but make sure its not too much and it doesn't make you look like a costume. Generally, wearing sharp colours as a man isn't a good idea if you want to look smart. Dressing in basic colours will make you look more organised, sophisticated and attractive.

10. TUCKING YOUR T-SHIRT IN YOUR PANTS: You may think this makes you look cool but it doesn't, in fact, it makes you look like a middle aged man. Leave your T-shirt untucked!.

None of these mistakes are insurmountable, they simply require a bit of finesse to correct them.
