As someone who works with the public, I see many women (and men) make so many fashion mistakes. I wish I could go up to them and say, “You know, I could help you with your fashion crisis.” And as I stated before, billions of money are spent on clothes each year but some people just don’t know what clothes they should be wearing. So that’s where I come in with this blog. I’ll explain the top ten mistakes and how you can correct or completely banish them for good.

1. Showing your thong in low-rise jeans.

You should never ever go out in public, showing your thong (or any kind of underwear for that matter) when you know you’re going to be wearing your low-rise jeans. There is absolutely NO excuse for it. Instead, wear a longer top or layer your shorter top with a longer shirt underneath, which is a really hot trend right now.

2. Showing your bra straps.

This look is okay when you’re 12, but anyone older than that, it’s just not appropriate. Instead wear a tank that has thicker straps or opt to wear a strapless bra instead.

3. Visible Panty Lines

There’s no excuse for this fashion disaster either. It makes you look like your pants are too tight or that you have a wedgy. Find pants that better flatter your behind and do opt for boyshort panties or even a thong if you’re wearing a high-waisted jean. Even find panties that are made out of slinky fabrics such as Modal, which prevent visible panty lines.

4. “Muffin Top”

Does anyone really think they look cute walking around like that? Three words for you: high-waisted jeans.

5. See-Through Clothing

This look should be better left at the beach as a cover-up. But if you really must wear a sheer top, make sure that you have a camisole underneath and that it skims your body, not confines it.

6. Skin Tight Clothing

This look is just not appropriate and no one will ever take you seriously in the long run. Instead of a wearing a skin-tight dress, opt for a flowy black dress instead. You’ll still get a lot of looks, but in a good way.

7. Wearing pants that are too short or too long.

There are pants for every size, shape, and height now. And if you really want those pants that are too long for you, either take them to a tailor or hem them yourself. You can even buy “Hollywood Tape” which is adhesive double-sided tape that will hem them in 3 seconds flat.

8. Wearing sneakers to work.

Ladies, there is a way to work around this. Maryjanes. Ballet flats. Both are comfortable and functionable. Skechers even makes a line of mary janes that are stylish but won’t have your feet screaming at the end of the day.

9. Wearing PJs in public.

Being seen in your pajamas while getting your mail or morning paper is one thing, but going out in public with them…Even to the supermarket? Why? Are you really that lazy that you didn’t want to get dressed? Don’t you care that you may run into someone you know? There are cute sweat suits that you can wear…And I don’t mean your husband’s baggy tee shirt and pants.

10. Scrunchies

The 80s’ may be back in fashion, but these should be left in the time capsule. There are other alternatives to putting your hair up while looking chic such as jaw clips, chop sticks, even Scunci’s line of elastic bands. Or even go for the ever popular headband that’s been causing a stir ever since Blair Waldorf have been wearing them on the teen soap, Gossip Girl. It keeps your hair out of your face, but leaves you looking up to date.
