What is the ultimate fashion
faux pas?
Whilst 7 in 10
women think about fashion faux pas
when putting together an outfit in the morning, most of us have committed a
serious crime of fashion at least once
in our lives.
Some fashion mistakes you can (arguably!) get away
with, like visible panty lines (VPL) under bodycon dresses, or the
odd foray into double denim, but others are a little more unforgivable. Top
online fashion retailer Very.
Showing too much
skin came joint second in the survey, with just over 1 out of 10 respondents
saying that they wouldn't go out baring legs and cleavage at the same time.
Although this look may suit the ladies of Geordie
Shore, the survey results reveal that British ladies like to keep
it classy on a night out - well, most of the time at least!
The other runner-up
in the faux pas stakes was 'ankle swingers', again with just over 1 out of
10 women selecting this option. Ankle grazing jeans were a must-have wardrobe
item back in spring 2008, but now they've been relegated to the "what was
I thinking?!" pile.
Ankle grazers can
look fab if they're worn correctly, as the catwalk models proved, but sadly on
most normal ladies it simply looks like we accidentally picked up the wrong leg
size when we went jeans shopping. If you still have a pair of ankle grazers
lurking in your wardrobe, remember that a good pair of boots can cover all
manner of sins.
However, the ultimate fashion
faux pas
This statistic is
likely to have been higher a few years ago, as socks and sandals have slowly
been making their way onto our high streets and catwalks in a chic way.
Knee-high socks teamed with high heel sandals were appearing on the
Spring/Summer catwalks for designers as diverse as Burberry, Christian Dior and
Jean Paul Gaultier. So, perhaps even this ultimatefashion
faux pas
