However, sometimes "more is less." This means that people are not exempt from making mistakes in their outfits. Just like it happens during the Christmas holidays, whether it's arguing with your brother-in-law, having a drink or making a fool of yourself.
In view of this, it is important to obtain proper advice in order to avoid making certain fashion mistakes during Christmas and New Year's Eve.
That is why in this post, we will teach you what you should not wear at Christmas or what you have to avoid when putting together your Christmas look.
The 10 most common mistakes in girls' Christmas looks
While it is true, both on December 24 and 31, most people want to look perfect to celebrate these important days and capture the attention of those present during the holidays.
However, in trying to achieve this, many ends up making fatal fashion mistakes and may even appear in disguise.
Consequently, in order not to die trying and be able to look radiant, you better know what the most traditional mistakes are when putting together a Christmas look and here, we emphasize the most relevant:
1) Wear a very short dress
In general, the Christmas season is synonymous with cold days and if you choose to wear a minidress, you may not be able to enjoy the party at all. Therefore, so that you feel comfortable and do not get cold, the most appropriate thing is to avoid wearing very short dresses in your outfit.
In case you want to flaunt your cute minidress, we advise you to add leggings and an elegant cardigan or coat to the look.
In this way, in addition to not being cold or uncomfortable, you can see yourself as a more sophisticated and luxurious girl.
2) Wear tight clothing to the body
Girdling yourself more than necessary with the garments of your outfit or showing too much, of course, can make you look vulgar. Therefore, for much more style and elegance, it is best to join the discretion and hint rather than teach.
Indeed, if you are going to wear a tight garment, avoid girdling yourself from head to toe altogether. For example, if you want to wear a tight top, it is best to use loose pants or skirt and vice versa. Also, if you want to wear a faux or short dress, avoid putting on a neckline.
3) Wear shoes with which you cannot walk well
For most women, it is the law to wear high heels on Christmas and New Year's Eve. Since, these give more distinction to your outfit and ultimately, allow them to look more elegant than usual.
But, when choosing them, many do not value comfort and end up buying heels that do not even allow them to walk comfortably. Therefore, another of the most common mistakes is to wear shoes with which they cannot walk correctly and consequently, they end up taking them off before arriving home.
To avoid all this, it is best to choose high shoes that allow you to have a good time. So, if they are not comfortable, opt to change them and use others during the holidays this season.
4) Drag the garments
If you have chosen to wear a long dress to the Christmas party, avoid dragging the garment for any reason. Keep in mind that the most suitable measurement of these garments is 3 centimeters above the ground, so that they reveal part of the footwear or cannot get dirty.
In case you have already made the mistake making the purchase, but you are still in time to avoid it; choose to take a hem to avoid making it look too long.
Thus, apart from preventing the garment from getting dirty, there will be no risks of losing the elegance of the outfit.
5) The looks where monochrome reigns
Another of the worst mistakes when putting together an outfit for the Christmas season, is to opt for monochrome.
In other words, wear shoes, accessories, and makeup of the same color. Which, in addition to being boring, is also old-fashioned and detracts from your style.
Therefore, to see yourself more favored, it is best to say no to monochrome. On the contrary, focus on creating more original looks, play with the colors in trend, complement beautiful combinations and that way, you will be able to create a perfect contrast to look great.
6) Wear socks with sandals
If you have decided to use sandals on New Year's Eve and you also want to wear stockings, make sure that the seam of the latter is not visible at the opening of the sandal. This serious fashion mistake is not pretty or glamorous.
On the other hand, if you want to use socks as usual, the most pertinent thing is that you change the sandals for closed toe shoes. Since it is a less risky and more successful solution, with it, there is no danger of looking ridiculous.
7) Wear the first coat that crosses you
Many girls do their best to complement all the garments and accessories of their outfit in the best way, but they end up damaging this by wearing any coat. Which, can damage your style of the night automatically, since it will be one of the leading pieces.
Indeed, it is best to choose a coat that looks striking, sophisticated and luxurious (such as a tailored or leather coat, for example); so you can add as much originality as possible to your look. Regarding the length, assess the following:
If you want to wear a long dress, opt for a coat at the waist that allows you to see the part of the skirt.
If you want to wear short skirts or dresses, use a long coat that allows you to see 2 or 3 centimeters of these clothes.
8) Abusing add-ons
It is no secret to anyone that accessories are essential in any outfit, but abusing them is a serious mistake that many women make.
So if you don't want to become a walking Christmas tree during the holidays, it's best to avoid putting on all the accessories you have at once.
In that sense, if you want to wear earrings or a large, colorful and striking necklace, choose simple garments in neutral colors and also select shoes of a special design to make a difference.
Now, if you want to wear garments with glitter and sequins, do not use very large or flashy accessories because you will run the risk of "dizzy" to others.
9) Exhibiting uncomfortable or out of place hairstyles
Like the dress, the hairstyle is also a key factor to show an exceptional look. But, due to emotion or for any other reason, many girls make the mistake of combing their hair in a very different way than usual and although this is not bad, ending up achieving the opposite in their styling.
Therefore, if your outfit is going to be much higher than usual, it is not good that you also elevate your hair. On the other hand, if the outfit will be simple, and you choose to complement it with subtle accessories, if it is appropriate that the hairstyle makes a difference.
As an idea, we advise you to choose a collected or semi-collected hairstyle because, beyond being comfortable, it will give your outfit all the prominence it deserves and will make you look slimmer. Either high or low ponytails, low buns or lopsided semi-collected, for example.
10) Excesses in clothing
In Christmas looks there is always room for sequins, shiny fabrics, transparencies, tulle and all kinds of eye-catching details.
This if combined correctly, help to achieve an elegant and luxurious look. But, it is not always worth taking them in any way.
Therefore, before wearing everything in one, choose not to fall into excesses and combine subtle garments with more striking pieces.
In addition to this, avoid placing showy clothes on those areas of the body that you do not want to highlight, because this could make you look and feel uncomfortable.
Now that you know the main mistakes when putting together an outfit for New Year's Eve, you can avoid them and select more successful pieces that manage to elevate your beauty.
