Do your outfits reveal your wardrobe struggles? You may think of yourself as a trendy person, but the truth is, we are all inclined to committing some fashion faux pas from time to time. From mixing various colors and patterns to picking out jewelry to match, some of these common, yet major, fashion blunders can make you end up looking anything but stylish. Consequently, if you are interested in making your closet look timeless, here are fashion mistakes you should avoid.

9 Wearing Wrong Fitting Bras

When was the last time you went for a professional bra fitting? If you cannot remember, chances are, you are most likely putting on the wrong size – and that is true for 8 out of 10 women. That is because you probably went back to your old pieces regardless of whether they still fit, after throwing out your nursing bras.

Wearing a fitting bra size can reduce your chest and make you look slimmer, as well as change the way your apparels fit.

8 Unflattering Shoes

The less flattering your shoes are, the older you will look, regardless of whatever else you are dressed in. Throwing on gym sneakers when you are not at the gym, or round-toed heels can look drab and quite boring.

This does not imply pulling on uncomfortable shoes, rather, it means keeping folks guessing your real age for years! A pair of pumps or pointed flats are comfy, yet modest swaps to improve your look.

7 Stretchy Mom Jeans

Stretchy or baggy mom jeans are as comfy as they come, but now you have to question how habitually you rank comfort over style.

Needless to say, jeans with excess stretch will leave you with an unflattering and slack bottom when the cloth begins to droop at the back of your thighs and knees, not forgetting around your bum.

To avoid this faux pas, opt for figure-fitting mom jeans that will complement your figure.

6 Retro Fashion That Is Not Trendy

True, fashion is cyclic, and every trend eventually comes back around. However, that fact does not allow you to get into outfits that make you look like you just fell off a time machine from an ancient era.

Relying on your tried-and-tested but outdated retro fashion is aging you as modern trends change with every season. Thus, for a more modern look, try switching to updated retro versions to keep give your style a contemporary spin.

5 Oversized Blazers

If you came down here, your blazer choices are dating you unfavorably, and wrongly. Moreover, the oversized outerwear you love so dearly is not flaunting that gorgeous physique that you have worked so hard to keep over the years. A blazer is one of the items that everyone agrees it is worth splurging on. Therefore, choose one that will highlight your features, and stay away from those that are aging you.

4 Old-Fashioned Glasses

Think of your pair of glasses as an accessory instead of an obligatory bother. Keeping up with your out-of-date, drug-store piece takes away from you the opportunity to try out and play with innovative and stylish looks. Besides, it may be time to book an appointment for your routine eye check-up.

Hopefully, you will say goodbye to old frames and wearing your glasses around your neck.

3 Heavy Make-Up And Jewelry

You are seeking to look young and natural, and neutral cosmetic colors, lip gloss, and light jewelry will help you achieve that.

In particular, avoid heavy face and eye make-up matched with bright or dark lipstick shades that will highlight the crinkles around your mouth and make you look heavy. On matters, jewelry, avoid lumpy pieces and just stick to thin chain neckpieces and loop earrings, or modest cuff bracelets for a younger feel.

2 Dressing Younger

Certainly, you want to revamp your closet with the latest fashion, but the beauty of being out of your self-doubting 20s is knowing what suits you. Throw out those graphic t-shirts and leggings, long skirts that are not maxis and capris, because you do not want to look like you are trying too hard.

If you spot a hip ensemble you like on someone else, break it down and refine the elements that would fit your style and existing apparel.

1 Donning Black

There may be nothing swankier in your wardrobe than your well-tailored black outfits, yet, donning too much black can make you look pale. Your skin becomes paler and thinner in your 40s, and wearing dark colors close to your face can emphasize the paleness, particularly if you are light complexioned.

Instead, go for light-reflecting and less-dull tones or bright colors as lively contrasts to make you appear younger.
