Don’t do it!
5 fashion mistakes we all make in summer

For a stylish summer, real fashionistas stick to little fashion rules, which we have all broken – albeit mostly unconsciously. Until now!
1. Choose the wrong fabrics
We more or less all have clothes made of synthetic fabrics at home. Because let’s be honest: in terms of price, clothing made of polyester, polyamide or polyacrylic is unbeatable. But in summer it is difficult for the skin to breathe underneath and you sweat extremely quickly. Summer clothing should be light, airy and ideally also cool. Cotton, silk, leash and chiffon are our best friends in summer for precisely these reasons – and they also look much higher quality than their artificial counterparts. Win-win situation!
2. Wear the wrong underwear
In summer, in particular, people like to be nice and airy. One more reason to be careful about wearing the right underwear. Tight panties and bras, for example, can cause unsightly dents that flash through clothing. But the color is also decisive: if you look through the underwear through the light summer clothing, the whole look immediately looks cheap. Black underwear can be rather disadvantageous in summer. You can find out which color works instead and why here.
3. Confused color combination
Finally summer and we can experiment with more color again. Bye bye, dreary winter clothes – hello, colorful summer clothes! But before you do wild color blocking out of sheer excitement, you should keep a few rules in mind. Basically: Do not combine more than three different colors with each other. Another great trick is to stay in the same color family. For example, if you mix dark blue with light blue and turquoise, the look looks very harmonious. And by the way: Pure white is always a nice combination partner – for all bright summer colors. Easy!
4. Too many accessories
In summer you always wear sunglasses – that’s for sure. And then preferably a hat and a little jewelry. Oh yes, a handbag to stow your cellphone and wallet is also a must. And you already look like you’ve exploited the whole beach souvenir shop. So that the look doesn’t seem too cluttered, you should step on the brakes a little and think carefully about which accessories you actually need. The jewelry in particular can be more simple. Less is more!
5. Wear the wrong size
They just struck in the last summer sale and bought parts that were too narrow on the grounds that they would still lose weight until next summer. And now you have the salad. The so-called great sale items are in the far corner of the closet. That’s why you should always assess yourself correctly, because when the clothes are in place, every look looks great – no matter what type of figure!
