You Really Need to Know What Not to Wear

Wearing the Wrong Outfit Can Spoil Your Day

Stepping out in the wrong clothes can really be uncomfortable for you and your friends. Before you make a mistake and overdress or underdress for any occasion read this advice for girls and young women first.

Fashion magazines and department store mannequins typically display the look to have, what to wear and how to be a successful fashionisto.

Eye for Fashion

Some of us don't have that elusive flair for fashion and attempt to put together a stunning costume for a special occasion which falls flat on its fashion face! How do the high fashion runway models do it? How does my sister do it? Sometimes, the question is not so much what to wear, but what not to wear. Let's take a look at some of the fashion caveats that will help you avoid inappropriate selections.

How to Dress for an Occasion or Event

Let's say you've been invited to a wedding. Such a special occasion warrants a special costume, right? The caveat here is that you don't want to outshine the wedding party! Although your choice of a shimmery, sequined shawl over that fabulous dress may be beautiful and well suited to a hot dinner date, it won't work for the wedding.

This costume is, in fact, too lovely. You'll garner a lot of attention, but your hosts may feel you're trying to upstage them. A classic case of what not to wear.

The Dating Dressing Ritual

How about the hot dinner date? Maybe your date is the conservative type. Wanting to impress him with your stateliness, you opt for a lovely wool suit and a string of pearls. Guess what? This is another what not to wear mistake. Albeit conservative, a sexy dress that's not too revealing, paired with high heels and delicate, sparkly jewelry will make him proud to be with such a dazzling lady.

Outfits to Wear to Lunch

Today, your fashion quandary is what to wear for a lunch with your girlfriends at the boardwalk. This outing is not about impressing men, but a casual date with friends. Girls. Don't let your insecurity show by dressing to the nines. You'll only alienate your friends and make them feel underdressed.

Go casual and cute, as befits the occasion. Tall, shiny boots and a short skirt are the epitome of what not to wear here.

How to Dress a Girl for the Office

Office dress is often misconstrued by the aspiring fashionisto. At work, it's important that you dress professionally. Unless today's the office Christmas party, stick with classic and unpretentious styles for daily wear.

Even if there's someone new at work who's caught your eye, resist the temptation to look the vamp during office hours. Vampy costumes in the office are definitely what not to wear. Save it for the date.

The point is, knowing what not to wear becomes natural if you take your companions and the host into consideration. If your attire makes other people uncomfortable for whatever reason, modify your wardrobe choice such that you'll look in place while still being attractive.

One last piece of advice = If that handsome guy over there finally asked you out and he is exactly your height, do not wear spectator high heel boots!
