Men’ s Fashion Misdemeanors
Wearing clothes that are clean and in good condition is one thing, but style choices are another. Don’ t shy away from personal expression, but avoid these missteps:
◗ Poorly fi tted clothes-too baggy or too tight ◗ Shoes in bad condition ◗ Sandals with a suit ◗ Socks worn with sandals
◗ Socks that show when you’ re standing, shins that show when you’ re sitting( due to short socks)
◗ A tie with a short-sleeved shirt ◗ Too much jewelry-heavy on the chains, rings and bracelets ◗ Dandruff fl akes on dark garments
Women’ s Fashion Misdemeanors
A good mirror is your best friend when it comes to spotting and correcting most of these common fashion fl aws:
◗ Clothing that is too tight, short, or revealing for the occasion ◗ Dandruff fl akes on dark garments
◗ Visible stocking-foot seams with open-toed shoes
◗ Buttoned garments that gap and show skin or underwear better left hidden
◗ Overly dressy or too-high heels with casual clothes like jeans ◗ Wearing a dress meant for evening during the day ◗ Jewelry that jingles or clangs so much that others are annoyed ◗ Torn hems and linings that show
Casual is the new“ normal” for dress in today’ s world, especially in California and Florida where the sun and the beach prevail. We all lead busy lives, but“ casual” is not an excuse to be sloppy or inappropriate. Traditional dress still has its place. It’ s experience in knowing when you can be casual and when you should dress up a bit that sets you apart from others and shows your respect and consideration.
I hope you found this helpful. I think the chart above covers traditional as well as modern dress. Of course, these are only suggestions and guidelines. Cut this out and keep this in your closet or dresser drawer. It may be helpful in the future. Let me know how this is going for you. As always, I love hearing from you!
