“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.” — Gianni Versace
The world gets high on fashion and it also gets low over it. From ramp walks and top couture weeks, from designers to their muses, fashion fuses too many elements that make it vibrant, snazzy, and engaging. However, fashion crimes seem to abound in this age and time, thanks to the increased propensity to buy brands as well as the inability to actually work a fashion balance. While you think of yourself as a lovely fashionista, the truth just might be far from it. You need to understand that just piling on fashion elements that are trending in New York or Paris is not fashionable. Begin by understanding what fashion crimes you must avoid committing this summer.

1. Excess florals

Yes, florals are fresh, springy, and make a lot of fashion buzz. So what? Fashion crimes are a result of putting on those kinds of stuff that are happening, but might not just look good on you. In the most common cases, floral prints on mild colors or muted shades look drab. A celeb looks awesome, yes, but she might have the best hair, makeup, and the perfect shooter to click in florals.
2. Too much jazz

Another top fashion crime you might end up committing is that your choice of prints is just too jazzy. Yes, we all love brightness, spunk, and fun prints. However, you need to find a balance here. In case you are a little on the plus side of the scale, or not really a leggy lass, these prints will make you look a tad out of place. Similarly, jazzing up your fashion wear is not just dependent on prints alone. You need to zing up using add-ons too.
After all, it’s nought for nothing that Miuccia Prada said, “What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.”
3. No accessories

In this age and time, anybody who does not understand how important accessorizing is for your overall fashion output, deserves punishment. Sorry. Forget we wrote that. However, you need to understand that not wearing accessories at all makes you look drab. And boring too. Therefore, find your own accessory style and get going on rocking a look to the core.
4. Poor makeup

While it is never mandatory to pile up a cakey look, subtle makeup is needed for looking presentable. Makeup makes you feel perked up and ready to go. Invest in basic makeup. Volume-boosting mascara, a liner, and a pop shade or nude shade lip color – are all you need to make yourself look fashionable. Avoiding these basics will make you look too flat and dull.
5. Excessive layering

Be a layer player, but then you need to know where to draw the line. It is summer after all. You will only end up looking sucked off all charm and energy if you overdo layering. Make sure you cut out black shirts or shrugs out of your wardrobe as top layers. You can simply relax in a crop top layered with a sheer fitted camisole underneath. This and similar types are perfect examples of right layering for summer months.
6. Goth makeup

Make sure you avoid wearing dark makeup or Goth makeup this summer. The style of makeup that you can look best in this summer is nude or pop-pastel makeup. Avoid garish makeup since that could make you look too strained and oily.
7. Wearing tucked in stuff with palazzo pants

Palazzo pants are a wonder savior this summer. However, as soon as you begin to tuck in your top wear with a pair, you are a fashion criminal. No matter how skinny or cushiony your rear is, there’s just no place in fashion for something like this. Trust us, this never looks sober. Also, we do not want you to be the unnecessary focus of all eyes.
8. Dressing unlike your age

Stop wearing too loose clothes or something that is too tight. In fact, wearing prints that age you also need to be avoided this summer. Go for nude shades, monochrome, and fresh prints. There is no need to turn agist just because summer is freaking you out.
9. No bling rule

This summer, you simply need to remember this clause like it is a rule! Drop the bling and go for light, barely there accessories and tops.
