Summer fashion DON'Ts

I'm no fashion expert, but here is my list of fashion DON'Ts for this summer.
  1. Wear shorts that don't cover your bum cheeks-I feel so uncomfortable when I see girls walking about with what appears to be a square of material covering their downstairs. It is not attractive to flaunt your bum in public, under any circumstance. 
  2. Socks with Sandals-If it's warm why wear socks, if it's cold why wear sandals. You can't possibly need a mixture of both! 
  3. Uggs-When you wear these with shorts/a skirt you are mixing two seasons of fashion together. It's a recipe for disaster. 
  4. Showing too much skin all at once-Be careful how much skin you show at once, you don't want to expose too much. Steer clear of showing bare arms, stomach and legs all at once (unless you are wearing a bikini of course) 
  5. Too much fake tan- Remember it’s a healthy glow, not the rolled in a bag of Dorito's look you want to go for.
  6.  Double Denim- One toned denim isn't a good decision, as it lacks in colour. However two toned double denim can look very fashionable, but be careful about what shades you put together. 
  7.  Horizontal Stripes-Stripes give the illusion of curves, so if you're apple shaped you want to avoid stripes as they will make you appear wider.
  8. Using tights as trousers-Tights are a much much thinner material to trousers and reveal a lot more, try leggings instead.
  9. Sunglasses-Don't wear sunglasses that are too big for your face, this can look very unflattering and draw attention away from all your others facial features. Pick sunglasses that built for your face shape.
  10. Bra Straps-If you know the outfit you're wearing will expose your bra straps then try opting for a strapless bra OR stick on bra OR clear bra straps.
