The 12 prohibited summer looks
In terms of fashion, we tend to remember more "fashion faux-pas" than successful looks! So if this summer, you do not want to make an impression in the wrong way, take a look at the 12 funny, scandalous or infantile fashion bans compiled by Le Journal des Femmes
As summer approaches, we are already thinking of vacations, sales and all the light outfits that we can soon wear. We are being watched by new trends, we are looking forward to bringing out our favorite seasonal pieces and we are indulging in some madness, carried away by the momentum of joy that summer gives us. Despite everything, there are certain things that you will not be allowed to do, clothing impulses to be repressed at the risk of being refused access to the podium of good taste. To save your fashion honor, here are 12 prohibited looks - unclassified - to read with humor and to remember this summer ... and all the following summers.
Mask glasses
We still remember very well the famous mask sunglasses, stars of summer 2005 (no, it was not yesterday, but 10 years ago ...). The must-have were the gradient tinted glasses, the rhinestones inlaid on the side or the huge flashy logo. If you put your pair in the bottom of a drawer while waiting to re-wear them one day, it really was not worth it ... Only Carine Roitfeld manages to wear them in style (see how she s 'take it ...)!
The jellyfish
Ahh, our good old jellyfish. We loved them on the beach in summer, the year of our 7 years! Thanks to them, we at least saved ourselves a cut of the arch with a knife (the shell)! However, there is little risk of walking on a crab between two metro connections. We will therefore prefer to ignore them on the shelves of women's stores unless it is to go to the beach.
Denim micro-shorts (very micro ... even panties)
Unless you apply for the new reality TV from a DTT channel, denim micro-shorts are prohibited. If you thought that revealing your inter-gluteal folds and compressing your hips in old low-waisted jeans cut by you would enhance you this summer, you are not watching enough TV!
The fluorescent
A fashionable color in the early 2010s, neon is now to be forgotten unless you need to signal your presence on a bike in the middle of the night. If accessories such as bracelets or neon belts are very nice to spice up a sober outfit, you can draw a line on the tops, shorts or fluorescent combinations. The death combo? The micro-shorts and jeans above and the fluorescent tank top.
White leggings
Cool, it's summer, the perfect season to wear light colors to brighten up our outfits. But is it really necessary to get a pair of white leggings? This piece of the female wardrobe is controversial enough like that to, moreover, choose it in the color that will highlight the slightest imperfection. The must of bad taste: white leggings hemmed with lace, worn alone or under a skirt or shorts.
The bob
Another accessory characteristic of childhood that tries to reinvest the closets of hipsters. Oust! Unless you love the Breton fisherman style or you have to wear this gift made by your loved ones, the bob is to be banished from your closet. For ever.
Skin tights for a "tanned legs" effect
If the flesh-colored tights may seem like a good idea at first, it has actually become a fashion ban in all seasons. Cristina Cordula points her finger at each occasion, stigmatizing this accessory for all women under 60. As soon as the warm weather arrives, don't expect to sublimate your pale legs with slightly shimmering skin tights and dare bare legs!
Spaghetti strap stretch tank top
Hide this tank top that you can't see! Unless you are going to a costume party on the theme of the 2000s, the stretch tank top with thin straps is to be avoided, considered unflattering and especially out of fashion.
Barefoot without nail polish
As soon as the warm weather arrives, our boots, sneakers and other winter shoes are relegated to the back of a closet in favor of pretty sandals. However, it is forbidden to let our toes get fresh air for the first time of the year without having previously brought a touch of colored varnish to our nails. For the common good!
The visor
On the tennis courts or in the stands of Roland Garros, the visor is chic, but if fashion houses such as Marni or DKNY tried to introduce it into our daily life for the spring-summer 2014 season, we prefer to pass. The risk: appearing to be working at the local fast food restaurant and catching sunstroke Still as chic?
The halter top tied behind the neck
Unless a great revolution starts, initiated by the fashion houses that will always manage to dictate the most incongruous fashions to us, the halter top, the one we tie at the nape of the neck, must stay buried. And we will take advantage of that to put in the same lot the famous halter called "jewel" which is attached to the neck by a sumptuous and very distinguished silver hoop even strassed for a 2 in 1 "top / necklace" .. . Help...
Skirt, dress or shorts with non-shaved legs
Arrived in June, the capri pants no longer has its quarters on our legs. With a skirt, shorts or a dress, it is impossible to fool anyone, especially during our daily metro journeys. But of course, everyone is free to live their hair as they wish and let nature take back its rights!
Fashion trends are made and unmade, mark an era before being chased by another and then return to the front of the stage. What is exceeded today may well no longer be exceeded in the more or less near future, and like all art, fashion is subjective, a means of expression specific to each. As soon as the clothes allow us to feel beautiful and to have confidence in ourselves, we can send waltz any forbidden fashion as long as we fully assume! No hard feelings?
