Even the most expensive outfit can look bad if styled wrong.
Fashion mistakes are common — but fixing them is incredibly easy.
Stichix lists the top 10 styling mistakes people make and how to avoid them for a clean, aesthetic look.
1. Wearing the Wrong Fit
Fit makes or breaks your outfit.
✔ Fix:
Choose fits according to your body type — slim, regular, relaxed, or oversized.
2. Too Many Colors in One Outfit
Wearing more than 3 colors creates clutter.
✔ Fix:
Follow the 60–30–10 rule.
3. OverAccessorizing
Accessories should elevate, not overpower.
✔ Fix:
2–3 accessories max.
4. Wrong Shoe Choice
Great clothes + bad shoes = ruined outfit.
✔ Fix:
Always prefer sneakers or clean footwear.
5. Wearing Wrinkled Clothes
Instantly makes you look untidy.
✔ Fix:
Iron or steam regularly.
6. Ignoring Layering Basics
Random layers ruin proportions.
✔ Fix:
Use structured jackets or shirts over simple tees.
7. Wearing Loud Prints with Loud Colors
Too much noise in the outfit.
✔ Fix:
If print is bold, keep colors neutral.
8. Mismatching Ethnic Wear
Bad combinations make ethnic outfits look cheap.
✔ Fix:
Stick to classic combinations:
White kurta + Nehru jacket
Beige kurta + brown footwear
9. Forgetting Fit & Fabric for Jeans
Wrong denim fit ruins leg shape.
✔ Fix:
Choose straight, slim, or relaxed based on your build.
10. Not Understanding Personal Style
Copying others blindly rarely works.
✔ Fix:
Choose what matches your comfort and personality.
