What makes good style? Well, avoiding some fashion faux pas can indeed make a good style. Here are some fashion mistakes that can ruin your look. So, beware of them and you're on the way to dressing with good taste.

Bad Fit - If it doesn’t fit, don’t wear it. Compressing into a size 8 when you know that you need size 10 is always a bad idea.

Always shop for outfits that fit you well. Do not get hung up on an ill fitting attire as it is extremely unflattering. If you do not have a proper fit, probably you are lacking a sense of fashion.

Selecting Wrong Colors - You may have loved the hot pink or lime green color on the runways or on the street. But remember, the color that looks fabulous on others, may not look good on you. Do not forget that all skin tones are not created equal. Often, we fall for colors that look pretty on others. The result - 'fashion blunder'. Be cautious! Next time, try to evaluate your skin tone and then figure out which color suits you the best.

Choosing Wrong pair of shoes – Now, this is a great turn-off. Would you like to look great only from ankles up? Surely, not. So choosing a chic pair of shoes is key in making a style statement. Try more voguish non-athletic or lifestyle sneakers in colors, flats or sandals.

Broken Nails - Nothing is more fashionable and sexy than well-maintained nails. Always try to keep your nails clean and evenly trimmed. Never try to bite them off as it makes a bad fashion statement.

Improper Make-up - While a proper make-up is a head-turning factor, improper make-up conveys a bad taste. Don't overdo make-up as it can ruin your look. Light make-up for day, heavier for evening......is always a smart idea!

Most fashion mistakes can be easily averted by a quick glimpse in the mirror. So take a few minutes to take care of these fashion details. Why ruin your look when looking beautiful is almost always, easy?
