Modern fashion is quite democratic, but some taboos are still alive today. Some of these unwritten prohibitions are dictated by subjective beauty, but the rest are dictated by banal practicality. The second category is especially noticeable in the summer. Today we will talk about those things that are strictly contraindicated to wear during the hot season.
Convenience of naturalness
All tight-fitting wardrobe items contain synthetic fabrics: nylon, lycra, polyester, acrylic. They are easy to care for, do not wrinkle, and fit well to the figure. It would seem like the perfect outfit! However, it has a huge disadvantage - the body does not breathe through it. These materials do not allow air to pass through and accumulate heat. Good for cold weather, but not for summer.
In addition, naturalness is now popular in the fashion world. The production of synthetics greatly pollutes the environment, so all responsible fashionistas are switching to natural materials.So, cotton shirts, chintz sundresses and linen shorts are now at the peak of popularity. In addition, they often last longer than their synthetic counterparts. And this is another plus in the treasury of thoughtful consumption.
At least poke out your eyes
Firstly, clothing in dark colors makes you look older. Secondly, it doesn’t match the weather outside at all. Young girls can still wear an outfit in dark shades, but older women will wear it for several years. This is also a sure way to highlight pale skin and circles under the eyes. And in general, brightness is trending now!
If you can’t avoid the dark color or you don’t really want to, you can try:
- Dark grey, deep blue or green. Yes, they will still be a little hot, but this is at least some kind of compromise.
- Add light elements. You don't have to wear all white. First, you can dilute the outfit with bright accessories.
- Go for pastel colors. They are now also on a high in terms of popularity, but at the same time they are not so prominent.
In addition, it is worth remembering that dark shades only make overweight people slim. But it depletes the slender and makes the image “painful”.
Beach in the middle of the metropolis
There is one feature that unites flip flops, Crocs, Aqua Shoes, flip flops, and so on. All of them are not intended for asphalt. In a resort town or on the beach - a nice thing, but not with casual summer clothes in the middle of the capital. There are no more awkward images than:
- flip flops with a dress;
- Crocs and denim shorts;
- rubber flip-flops and... anything except swimming trunks!
The best open option for summer is lightweight wedge sandals with an ankle strap. Or sandals with a stable heel or low stiletto heel. However, you don’t even have to wear something revealing.Few people think that light-colored sneakers with good ventilation are no worse than the same sandals. The main thing is not to wear suede or similar hot materials.
I carry everything I have with me
A summer bag the size of a small suitcase makes the look heavy. And owners of short stature should completely abandon such an accessory forever. He makes them even smaller, and the whole image is lost against the background of the bag. Not to mention the fact that such luggage is simply difficult to carry. It is much better to take a sports backpack with you in light shades.
Among other things, clutches and small elegant handbags with thin straps, with leather weaving or openwork inserts are in trend. The main thing is to choose shoes that match the style and color. A black bag and white shoes are a no-no. Stiletto sandals and a bucket bag are even worse.
