Top 10 Summer Fashion Don'ts
Sunday, 12 August 2012
I'm not sure if it's the sticky-hot temperatures or just the memory of carefree childhoods, but there's something about summer time that encourages adults to lose a level of decency and taste. It happens year after year -- the streets are suddenly flocked with unflattering and juvenile fashion statements, young and old, men and women, professional and non-professional alike. We might shrug our shoulders because it's summer and it's hot, but there are certain summer fashion faux pas that simply make you look ridiculous. And you need to stop it. Here are my (and surely, yours) 10 top worst pet peeves about summer fashion gone wrong

Speaking of feet. Men and women alike are guilty
of this, and it's probably my biggest pet peeve. If you aren't going wear your
pretty little sandals or your manly summer flip flops, at least make your feet

Women: Follow the basic role of accentuating (or exposing) one area at a time. So if you're showing a lot of leg, put away the cleavage. If you're wearing a strapless dress, slightly lower the hem past peek-a-boo status. Men: No one wants to see your upper thighs. Fact. P.S.

OK, we have bear paws as feet on the bottom accompanied by booty-showing skirts on top. Since when was this ever the style? This goes for all winter-summer combos, like beanie hats, sweatshirts, knee-high boots and oh, the list goes on.
If you're buying an $800 swimsuit that you're not even sure should get wet, we need to talk. And what's up with the tan lines you'll be toting around the next day? Not cute.
When it comes to summer fashion, certain style choices are best left in the past. At the top of the list? Socks with sandals. This controversial combination has sparked debates for years, but unless you're making an ironic fashion statement, it's a major don’t.
