What Not to Wear: Beryl’s Guide to Avoiding Fashion Faux Pas

As the seasons change, our wardrobes should too. But, let’s be real, some fashion disasters are best left in the past. In this article, Beryl, our resident style expert, will guide you through the top fashion no-nos that’ll make you wonder how they ever made it out of the closet.

1. Neon Green Leggings

We get it, neon is back, and we’re not complaining. However, neon green leggings are a hard pass. Unless you’re attending a neon-themed rave, there’s no excuse for these eyesore. Stick to more subtle shades or, better yet, try a fun pair of neon pink or orange tights for a pop of color.

2. Sequined Suits

Remember the 80s? Yeah, so do we. Sequined suits are a relic of the past best left in the time capsule. They’re loud, flashy, and scream “Look at me, I have no style!” Beryl’s advice: opt for a classic, timeless suit that exudes sophistication.

3. Crocs

We love a good clog, but Crocs are a different story altogether. They’re like the ugly cousin of the clog world. They’re uncomfortable, unattractive, and, quite frankly, a fashion crime. Leave them for the pond-hikers and opt for a more stylish sandal or boot.

4. Acid-Washed Jeans

The 90s are back, but, apparently, so are acid-washed jeans. Please don’t bring back the faded, whiskered, and generally dreadful denim disaster that was the 90s. Beryl’s tip: invest in a good pair of dark wash or black jeans that can be dressed up or down.

5. Fanny Packs

Ah, the fanny pack. A staple of the tourists, the clumsy, and the fashion-challenged. We know they’re practical, but, honestly, who wants to look like a grandpa on a bus tour? Stick to a stylish backpack or cross-body bag, and leave the fanny packs for the Instagram influencers with questionable taste.

6. Jeggings

Jeggings are like the answer to a question no one asked. They’re the fashion equivalent of a mullet – business in the front, party in the back. But, who needs that kind of confusion in their wardrobe? Instead, opt for leggings with a bit of flair, like a fun pattern or bold color.

7. Oversized Sweatshirts

We get it, Athleisure is a thing, but oversized sweatshirts are not the answer. They’re sloppy, unflattering, and make you look like you just rolled out of bed. Beryl’s advice: invest in a few stylish sweatshirts with a bit of tailoring, and you’ll be looking and feeling like a boss.

So, there you have it – Beryl’s list of what not to wear. Remember, fashion is all about confidence, self-expression, and, most importantly, knowing what works for you. So, take these dos and don’ts to heart, and you’ll be well on your way to creating a wardrobe that’s both stylish and timeless.
