The main thing is that we are wrapped up warm in winter? Incorrect! Because winter fashion also has some styling mistakes. You should definitely avoid these five outfit mistakes.
1. A must for winter shoes
Water marks are totally unsightly to look at and are definitely one of the styling mistakes in winter. Due to the wetness and humidity during the cold winter months, white spots on boots and other shoe models are quite common.
Important tip: Care for your shoes properly, waterproof them and use special care products to prevent water stains or, if they already exist, to remove them.
2. Styling mistakes with tights
Apart from the mistake of wearing tights that are too thin in cold temperatures (go for versions of 60 DEN or more when temperatures are around freezing point), there is also potential for danger in things Styling if unsightly spots have formed on models that have already been worn. The friction of socks, boots and booties can put a lot of strain on the delicate and fine material of the tights, resulting in visually dark “spots” that are actually a kind of pilling effect.
This is how you prevent: The only thing that helps here is to replace the tights or make sure that the worn areas remain covered with shoes or knee socks when wearing them.
3. Winter coat styling faux pas
Especially on the trendy XL coats you will find a slit on the back, which is usually sewn together with a thread. This thread ensures that the coat stays in shape in the store and during previous transport and does not, for example, kink in an ugly way. If you bought the coat, this thread should be unraveled, as should the seams that close the pockets. Otherwise it can shine through unattractively.
4. This is how we style sweaters correctly
The bulky wool sweater is proving to be a real fashion statement this winter. But if it scratches, the wearing comfort is in the basement despite the great style factor. What actually helps if your sweater scratches? A simple and effective trick is to simply put a shirt under your sweater. There are now also many cool tops that have a beautiful hem – for example with a lace look or with asymmetrical cuts. The shirt looks a little bit out from under the sweater and thus provides additional trend potential. You should also make sure that the sweaters are not too thick for the coat, otherwise the look will just look squat.
Great tip: Coats with an oversized cut not only look chic, the oversized shoulders also offer enough space for warm XL knitted sweaters.
5. Hat styling mistakes
During the cold season we like to bury our heads in a cozy hat. If we take them off again, our hair is often electrically charged. How can we prevent clothing from becoming electrically charged?
Here’s how to do it better: If you pull the hat off your head and your hair stands on end every time, take a little hand cream and rub a small amount over your hair. The greasy texture of the cream ensures that no hairstyle faux pas are revealed when putting on and taking off the headgear.
