Common Style Mistakes

This page is dedicated to the dissemination of information concerning articles of clothing that are hard and/or impossible to wear.

Yesstyle/Fabrixquare/TheLessShop

The clothes from Yesstyle and Fabrixquare are cheap. The sleek, flattering clothes that are presented to buyers are, in reality, not flattering at all. The clothing is held in place and fitted onto the mannequin with pins, and taken in extremely good lighting to accentuate the fitting. In reality the cuts are extremely bad. In addition, clothing from Yesstyle/Taobao are made for small, small Asian people and will automatically be unfitting. A small there does not equal a small in the U.S. (Add more stuff here.)

General rule of thumb: do not buy clothes off a black mannequin.

The Fedora

You don't look classy. You don't look cool. Just don't wear it.

Your shoes, probably

Why You Should Never Buy Cheap Shoes

Shoe and Belt mismatch

If you are wearing a leather dress shoe or boot, and a leather belt, there are some rules about color.

If the shoes are brown, the belt cannot be black. If the shoes are black, the belt cannot be brown. Matching shoe and belt color is fine for brown or black but usually will look odd with colors like white or blue. Bold colors or white are usually not acceptable for leather belts. Casual belts made of other materials or with prints do not need to be matched by color to shoes.

In summary: Black belt and brown shoes is bad. Black shoes and tan belt is bad. etc.
