Most Common Style Mistakes

Angela Stone • July 30, 2015

We are all guilty of it… Wearing the wrong item or styling a new piece wrong! Learning from other peoples mistake will only help you style yourself and your clients. Today we bring you a few common styling mistakes that will help strengthen your styling expertise. Enjoy!

Mistake #1 | Black Overload

Yes, black can be slimming, but here’s something you may not know: As we age, our skin gets thinner and the starkness of a black top against our face will emphasise wrinkles and dark circles. Choose more flattering colours that bring out your best features!

Mistake #2 | Wearing the Wrong Bra Size

Did you know that wearing the wrong bra size not only makes you look older, but it can shrink your torso and affect how every item in your wardrobe fits? Make sure you get fitted by a trained professional. It will change your life!

Mistake #3 | Over-Applying Matte Makeup

It’s easy to understand why people use matte products, but if you go overboard on mattifying makeup products, you’ll lose that dewy glow. Add a little bit of shine on your lips and stick with only one matte product at a time!

Mistake #4 | Buying Jeans with Too Much Stretch

When you’re looking for stretch jeans, check the tag to make sure your new jeans don’t have more than 2 percent elastic fibers. Otherwise they will loose their shape quickly and become very unflattering!

Mistake #5 | 3/4th Pants

cropped

Avoid pants that end between the knee and ankle at all costs. They can look good on rare occasions, but much more often these cropped pants will make the thigh area of average weight women appear larger. 

Mistake #6 | Hiding Under A Shapeless Jacket

coat

Many women opt for wearing a boxy coat in winter, giving your body no shape and making you look like a rectangle. If you want to hide your butt, waist, or arms try a belted trench coat. The belt accentuates a waistline creating a beautiful hourglass figure!

Mistake #7 | Tea-Length Skirts

skirt

While tea-length dresses and skirts can look very classy, sometimes the length of the hem hurts you appearance, as a whole. A skirt that hits around the ankles tends to make women look wider. Instead try a skirt that hits right above or below the knee. This hem length creates a fantastic hourglass!

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course . It’s a fun, 2-day event with like-minded women that will renew your confidence in yourself and teach you the fashion fundamentals. Secure your spot here . The Women’s Lifestyle Expo Palmerston North is on 13–14 May, and I’ll be there with a stall selling fabulous fashion pieces for great prices. Stop by for a browse and a quick style! Ange xoxo
