The main mistakes in choosing clothes in a basic wardrobe. A stop list of insidious things that will automatically "throw" you a couple of extra years.
Spring this year turned out to be short and very fast. From coats and trousers, we immediately "jump" into light blouses and skirts. Before neatly arranging summer clothes in your closet, take some time to revise your wardrobe. Not everything that you are used to wearing for many years will be fashionable and relevant in the new summer season. Moreover, almost every woman has insidious and treacherous clothes that visually make her older than her real age. Fashion experts and celebrity stylists have named the most common mistakes in women's wardrobe. It is better to throw away items that are included in the stop list immediately.
Lace and fishnet tights

We all know the rule of wardrobe etiquette: even in the heat, a real lady does not walk with bare legs. Of course, in everyday life, we willingly neglect this rule: no one pulls tights under shorts for walking in the park and before going out to the store. But the office dress code has not been canceled. If your business style dominates at work, and
tights - this is one of his requirements, give up openwork and patterned haberdashery products. Lace tights, tights in a fine mesh and even tights that are neutral at first glance with a thin strip on the back of the leg - this is no longer fashionable and is not considered beautiful for a long time. Such delights destroy the elegance of style and age the woman for several years.T-shirts and blouses "bat"

In summer, I really want loose and spacious clothes that will not fit and once again "soar" the body. Therefore, many ladies are happy to wear things with sleeves a la "bat". Some people believe that such clothes add fragility to the silhouette and visually slim the hips and legs. Experts say this is a big mistake. Blouses and T-shirts with "wings" look good only on fragile slender girls. For women of dense build, they "add" volume, because because of the cut of the sleeves, the arms merge with the waist. Besides, "bats" went out of fashion about 5 years ago. Therefore, it is better to “transfer” such things to the category of home clothes.
Flying dresses and shapeless clothes

It is much easier to hide figure flaws in winter than in summer. Therefore, in the heat, many ladies prefer not to bother and out of habit buy wide and shapeless dresses, blouses and skirts. This choice adds not only extra pounds, but also years. Firstly, any "flying" clothes look great on skinny women, but on the contrary, they will make a lady with shapes larger. Secondly, such images (especially if the thing is of a variegated or floral color) give off a "rural style" and give a woman a touch of a kind of woman's swagger. If you are unable to give up the flies, add accessories that will emphasize the figure: you can tie a thin one around the waist belt or ethnic lace, or throw a light cropped jacket over the shoulders, which at least will outline the place where it should be waist.
Dark earthy clothing

Even in summer, many ladies are unable to give up dark clothes, so tightly in everyone's subconscious there is a stereotype that black slims. In fact, dark tones in a wardrobe (especially when it comes to summer ones) should account for no more than 30-40% of things. Try to avoid gray-green, dark yellow, dark orange, olive, dark pistachio, and brown clothing. It makes the skin look unhealthy, emphasizes wrinkles, enlarged pores and other age-related facial imperfections. At the same time, we are not talking about black - it can and should be worn. Just don't forget about light accents: to freshen up your face, just tie a light contrasting scarf around your neck.
Rhinestones and massive jewelry
Stylists consider the abundance of decor on clothes to be tasteless (photo from open sources)
Decorations on clothes (sequins, rhinestones, sewn beads) have long gone out of fashion. Experts consider them tasteless and urge women to refuse to buy such things. Besides the fact that they complicate the care of clothes and often fly off at the very first wash, such teenage accents add extra years to a woman. Massive jewelry goes into the firebox (heavy pearl-like beads, large pendants on a thick chain, belts with a huge shiny buckle). The abundance of these accessories gives any lady a “bazaar” look. Stylists also include clothes on which there is too much decor: voluminous buttons, patch pockets and puff sleeves in one look will make the look ridiculous and ridiculous.
Fun prints and meaningful lettering

You should not artificially "youth" with the help of clothes and chase the modern trends of youth style. No matter how meaningful the text on the shirt may seem to you, it will not emphasize your subtle nature and personality. Quite the opposite: attempts to dress “in a modern way” will cause condescending smiles and “throw” you extra years. The same goes for hilarious prints with cartoon characters or cats, colorful colors, and bold eye-gouging patterns. Mickey mouse on a T-shirt is suitable for a photo shoot or a walk with a child in the Family Look style, but as an independent unit, you will look like a frank overdone in these clothes.
Bag to match shoes and accessories

Pick up bag to match the color of sandals and complement it with a scarf or beads to match it is out of fashion for 10 years. This is a classic that is still suitable for office style, but in everyday life it will definitely make your look boring and “retired”. If you have such universal sets in your wardrobe, feel free to sort them and wear them separately. It is better to "rhyme" the bag with some element of clothing (it is not at all necessary to match the tone perfectly). For example, a blue, light blue or turquoise bag is fine with a denim skirt. If you have colored cuffs on your dress, you can choose a bag to match them. The belt is also a great "partner": the silver band at the waist goes well with the same backpack or clutch.
