8 ways some women dress that make people vomit

No offence, but some women just make fashionably-disastrous mistakes when it comes to dressing up. There are just some things that are neither classy nor tasteful to anyone who sees them. Even Lady Gaga might shake her head at some of these no-nos. From accidental mistakes to fashion choices, here are 8 ways in which some women dress that will make you wonder what on is going on in their minds.

Pairing stripes with polka dots
This is perhaps the most obvious mistake anyone can make. Unless you are Karl Lagerfeld or Anna Wintour, don’t try to be a fashion guru by breaking this sacred rule – no clash of patterns. Dots and stripes simply don’t go together, unless you are looking to give your companions a headache.

VPL (Visible Panty Line)
Nothing is more embarrassing than wearing ill-fitting clothes or underwear. If you are wearing bodycon or tight-fitting clothes, please look for the appropriate clothing size and seamless underwear. It’s not just because of aesthetics – ill-fitting clothes can make you breathless and endanger your health.

Going all retro
There’s nothing wrong with retro trends – old is gold. However, you don’t want to look like you came straight out of a time machine. Put your own modern spin on retro clothes, or you will look like a frumpy grandmother 20 years older than you really are.

Ripped boyfriend jeans
This trend only fits some people who can pull off a more masculine look. If you can’t, then you are just going to look like a newbie construction worker who is wearing hand-me-downs from his colleagues.

Sexy = baring lots of skin
Not true! Sex appeal comes from confidence and a touch of tastefulness. Simply revealing half of your body is not going to make you look sexy – rather, it is going to look rather distasteful especially in a more conservative society like Singapore.

Wearing socks with heels
This seems to be a popular trend amongst Japanese and Korean models, probably because of the more temperate climate over there. However, this is just plain weird in Singapore and not to mention, very hot and suffocating for the feet. It also makes you look like a grandma.

Harem pants
It was all the rage last year, but gradually, we realised that it made some girls look short and plump. Though they are meant for a casual look, it makes you look very sloppy sometimes and hides all of your curves, giving you a boring silhouette.

Padded shoulders
Yes, you look like a fierce career woman and all. However, some shoulders are so heavily-padded that they overwhelm ladies’ figures. Women’s bodies are naturally slimmer, so quite often, they look mismatched when paired with broad shoulders.
