5 Fashion Mistakes to Avoid This Holiday Season
With the holiday season coming up, we’re all starting to daydream about what we’ll be wearing to Thanksgiving and the various Christmas parties we’ll be attending this year. However, no matter how far in advance we plan, we’re all still likely to fall victim to some serious styling mistakes.
If you want to make a statement this year – do it the right way. Here is a list of some of the most commonly made holiday outfit mistakes, so that you can avoid them.
Blindly Following Trends
We all know that every year, the same handful of outfits will pop up on your Instagram feeds, displaying the most fashionable Christmas outfits of 2023.
While there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from these looks, or even replicating them exactly if that’s what you really want, try to come up with something different so that you really stand out. Take a look at what’s trending and adapt it to fit your own personal style instead.
Over Accessorizing
Big holiday events and Christmas parties often make us feel pressured to go all out, and this can often lead to a calamity on the accessorizing front. When you’re accessorising a fancy outfit, you need to keep a few things in mind.
If your outfit is simple, this is an opportunity to go big on the glitter and glam of your jewellery. However, if you already have a flashy outfit, then going overboard on the accessories can throw things off balance. Additionally, if you already wear stylish frames like cat eye glasses, remember to consider that when picking out accessories like earrings to complete your look.
Under Accessorizing
Another common mistake is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Accessories can often make or break an outfit, and if you neglect them completely, you run the risk of letting your look fall completely flat.
Pay attention to the rules discussed above, and don’t be shy to accessorize, especially if you’ve gone for a more subtle and simple party dress. Some statement earrings or an outrageous pair of shoes can take your outfit from plain to stunning with minimal effort.
Too Much Glitz
When it comes to Christmas parties, it’s easy to feel like showing up looking like a Christmas tree is the expectation. We’re here to tell you that you don’t need sequins to look glamorous and festive at your upcoming Christmas parties.
In fact, going too hard on the glitter can end up looking cheap and unprofessional – which is not something you want if you’re attending a Christmas bash for work.
Ignoring Comfort
Finally, keep in mind that looking uncomfortable isn’t very stylish. Those heels might complete your outfit, but if you’re staggering around in them then it’s not worth the pain anyway because it’s not going to look good.
Having a comfortable but cute outfit is key to both looking and feeling good all night. Pick clothes and shoes that feel right to you, are comfortable to wear all night, and are true to your personal style.
