More often than not we end up wearing attires that don't really make us look flattering. While we may think that particular styles are working for us, they actually just make us look bad. Plenty of women out there are no strangers to fashion faux pas and end up making quite a few fashion blunders when they step out. If you're looking to keep a check on those blunders, here's what the experts suggest you should do.



Pay attention to details: One of the most important things to keep in mind is the detailing to your ensemble. Certain tears, rips, holes and frays can make you look trashy instead of classy. So, when you pick your outfits, make sure you see that it doesn't look like you weren't paying attention to what you're wearing.



Opt for the right size: Say you're a thin person so you think it's a good idea to opt for oversized clothes because then you wouldn't look all that thin. However, what happens is that you might just end up looking like a pillowcase. So, no matter how thin or fat you think you look, always choose the right size for your body or else your attire will look super unflattering on you.



Store and clean properly: If an item says that it needs to be dry cleaned only, don't put it in the washing machine. If you need to hang something, don't fold it up. If it needs to be ironed before you wear it, make sure that you iron it. Follow these instructions properly if you want your clothes to stay in tip-top conditions.



Accessorise properly: When it comes to jewellery, understand that less is more. Sure a chunky necklace looks great, long earrings can really help you make a statement and hair accessories can really steal the show but that doesn't mean you should wear them all together. Then, you'd just look tacky.



Style your attire properly: Just because you saw someone team a particular crop top with a certain type of jacket doesn't mean it will look good on you too. You need to figure out what type of style best suits your body type so you need to be more involved in the how's and why's.



Pay attention to these details and you're bound to stay away from all those fashion blunders.
