1. Skin-tight leather pants
I couldn’t resist buying a pair after seeing how incredibly flattering and sexy they looked on models in movies. But I truly regretted it after trying them on. These pants are extremely unforgiving; if you don’t have a figure to boast about, don’t even try.
Skin-tight leather pants are very unforgiving.
If your legs are a bit fuller and not perfectly straight, these pants will be a “nightmare.” Any flaws in your figure will be glaringly obvious in an instant. Moreover, you have to be careful not to scratch or scrape your skin.
Low-quality leather tends to peel and flake.
Besides these skin-tight pants, leather skirts are also popular, but it’s best to avoid them if you don’t have a flat stomach. Moreover, leather garments only provide average warmth in winter. I only wore mine once, so don’t be tempted to buy any.
Leather skirts can emphasize a less-than-flat stomach.
2. Short shorts
Shorts are typically a spring and summer staple, but they’ve somehow become a winter fashion item too. Seeing models bare their legs in shorts looked so eye-catching that I was truly mesmerized and bought a pair immediately.
Short shorts that show off bare legs are more suitable for summer than winter.
But I soon regretted my purchase. It’s too cold in winter to go bare-legged, so you’d have to wear tights underneath. However, a thin pair might not be warm enough, and thick tights paired with shorts just look outdated.
Pairing thick gray tights with shorts looks outdated.
3. Oversized lazy-style sweaters
In recent years, comfortable and slightly lazy-looking outfits have become popular. So, after seeing a model rocking an oversized sweater dress, I bought one. However, when I put it on, I felt like I was swimming in it—it could’ve fit three more people!
The model looks great in the oversized sweater, giving off a free-spirited vibe.
This type of outfit may look ordinary, but it actually demands a lot in terms of height and figure. You also have to wear makeup with it; otherwise, you’ll look frumpy. Moreover, you can’t layer a coat over this type of sweater, and it’s not very practical for winter.
But when I wore it, I felt like I was drowning in fabric.
4. Long fur coats
Setting aside the style, fur coats are notorious for shedding fibers that cling to your other clothes. As a result, your entire outfit looks messy. Even after a few washes, these fibers continue to shed and stick to other garments. Consequently, I never wanted to wear it again.
Low-quality fur coats shed fibers that are difficult to remove from other clothes.
5. Clothing in anchor red
The Maillard style was popular last year, and anchor red is a huge trend this year. This shade of red is perfect for accessories like hats, scarves, and bags…
Clothing in anchor red looks sophisticated and bright but is quite particular about skin tone.
But wearing a sweater, coat, or even a full suit in this color can be a significant challenge for your figure and complexion. Moreover, since each seller has a different interpretation of this color, you might end up with something that doesn’t match your desired shade.
The wrong shade of red can age you.
6. Oversized fur or wool coats
Fur or wool coats with an oversized silhouette may look fashionable on screen, but they’re not easy to pull off in real life. They tend to be quite expensive and quickly go out of style after a season or two. Moreover, if you choose overly colorful or flashy patterns, these coats will not only be prone to looking dated but also hard for the average person to pull off. Without careful styling and makeup, you might struggle to “carry” this type of garment.
For such pricey items, I recommend opting for elegant, simple, classic, and versatile styles that won’t date quickly.
Inexpensive fur coats can look cheap, and colorful patterns on oversized wool coats can be overwhelming.
7. Holiday-themed clothing
There are many holidays in the winter, including Christmas and New Year, and many businesses will try to cash in on the festive spirit by selling themed clothing. However, these outfits are usually only worn once, and they can look quite odd after the holiday is over.
Moreover, the prices set by many brands are not cheap, and you don’t really need to buy them.
Holiday-themed clothing is usually only worn once a year.
8. Extremely cheap clothing
Although we all want to buy good-quality items at reasonable prices, it’s best to avoid extremely cheap winter clothes. For example, I had a coat that shed fibers all over my sweater. As a result, I didn’t dare take off my coat anywhere, for fear of revealing the unsightly mess underneath.
Moreover, inexpensive winter garments often look cheap. Cheap coats are not only unflattering but also tend to be outdated.
Inexpensive winter clothing is often made of poor-quality fabrics that shed fibers, stretch out of shape, and look cheap.
Unlike spring and summer clothing, winter garments can only be worn for one or two seasons. If you invest in good-quality, versatile pieces, you can wear them for several years. So, it’s best to choose well-made, comfortable, and reliable winter clothes.
