Sometimes we all tend to think that men don’t actually notice if we’re wearing make up or not, of we’ve go a new cute blouse or have just gained some very little weight. The thing, and probably, the problem, is that they actually notice everything but opt not to say it loud, for our own sake, of course.
So it’s obviously not that bad to let men speak up and finally express their opinion on our fashion hits and misses. Besides, it’s a well known fact that men actually, though feminists would strongly object, make better cookers, better designers, better stylists, better makeup artists, better advisors, after all. So that’s what men say. These five woman fashion faux pas were selected by Simon from the Fashion Victims website. This guy is thought to know a thing or two about fashion. Besides, my male friends I’ve asked to comment on his list said they all agreed with him completely. So these are the worst fashion mistakes women do, according to Simon:
Excessive makeup / foundation
Too much makeup is a horrible and totally image-destructive thing. The worst option is trying to look “natural” while having tons and tons of foundation or makeup on your face. Don’t deceive yourself thinking men won’t notice it. They will, and they won’t like what they’ll see. Some men actually say they like as little makeup on a girl’s face as possible, ‘It must be natural beauty,’ they claim. Moderation, that’s what you should focus on while making up your face.
Here’s the problem: lots of cover up is actually worth covering up. You may think that a pimple mount of height X necessitates a layer of foundation of X + 1 thickness, but really you’ve managed to expand the ‘problem area’ to your entire face. You don’t look like porcelain, you look crusty. If you can’t tan, don’t manufacture a layer of grainy fakeskin. Some guys like pale chicks.” Simon writes.
Lip piercing
It’s also known as Monroe piercing or cheek piercing. It refers to Marilyn Monroe’s famous beauty spot. It used to be just a random choice of some girls before but then it turned into a real accessory trend, due to emo culture peculiarities. There’s one thing a girl should keep in mind – don’t wear this piercing if it’s not your thing, you know. It’s a very specific thing in its reference to certain age groups, certain styles, and certain circumstances.
When you’ve run out of original places to stud your head, don’t go random. That’s like a musician saying ‘wehhh, all melodies have been done before. I’m gonna play random notes wherever and I’ll be so different I’ll be cool.’ You’re not cool,” Simon noted.
Giant heavy sunglasses
Nothing seems to ruin a wonderfully put together outfit or a perfectly shaped face like heavy shades. Larger sunglasses can be perfect for certain occasions, when they can actually make you look twice as good as you actually do. But that’s probably not the case with black shades that cover two thirds of your face, especially if you’ve got a skinny frame. A praying mantis, that’s what Simon calls these poor fashion victims. Sorry girls, but we totally agree with him.
You may be proud that not the smallest beam in the slightest crack of space will get in your deflector shield eye booth, but you look like a bug on hind legs. A bug! The stick thin skin-and-bones body type completes the preying mantis fashion statement,” he writes.
Pet accessories
Thank you, Paris Hilton. Thank you Tinkerbell. It’s hotel heiress and high-profile socialite we should thank for introducing this quirky fashion. Tiny puppies in big bags or in your arms, ok we can handle it somehow, but when this tiny puppy has its own designer stuff… that’s kind of weird. Sometimes I just wonder if these poor doggies can move at all, because they spend a lot of time sitting deep in the big designer bag while their owners are on constant shopping sprees. That’s cruel.
“Living. Creatures. Are. Not. Accessories. You have no idea of the statements you make when you walk around with these fashion rats, or the thoughts that go through every guy’s mind”, Simon said, we approved.
High belts
Well, that’s arguable to consider it’s a miss but it surely is for certain body types. Again, when picking some trendy accessory, look in the mirror first and try to be as objective and unbiased as never before. It’s for your own sake, believe me. Don’t think a high belt will give you a waist you’ve never had or make you much slimmer, or help you hide your overweight, if you have any. High expectations will do good neither you, nor your look. Just remember high belts can make you look bulky and heavy instead of making you look svelte.
There’s beauty in proportion, and nothing messes with that more than a blatant misplacing of a standard item. If you’re willing to constrict your ribs, do us all a favor and wear a corset,” Simon added.
Now, after reading what men think about us, we have some stuff to contemplate over too. We can listen to Simon’s piece of advice or just forget about it at all, it’s very individual and up to each and every of you to decide. But on the other hand, many of the things women do, they do it for men. So maybe we should stop for a second and listen to what they want us to wear?
