Biggest Fashion Faux Pas: 3
Capri pants.
Ladies, trust me. I speak from personal experience.
It does not matter how slender you are.
It does not matter how long your legs are.
It does matter how short your legs are.
It does not matter how shapely your legs are.
Capri pants will make your legs look like this, no matter what.
This lady has decent legs — but NOT IN CAPRI PANTS.
Be smart.

No, my beef is not with the lovely ladies of Designing Women.
It is with their shoulder pads.
Because inexplicably, this bane of 1980s and early 1990s fashion has been creeping back into fashion.
STOP IT.

NUMBER ONE.
Fanny packs are abominations.
I admit, I used to wear one … when I was six. I would rather see a guy wearing a murse than having a fanny pack strapped around his waist.
And girls? They make our butts look big, the end.
And yes, this upcoming series is all about me ranting because as the weather warms up and people come out of hibernation, I am getting heartily tired of seeing some things already.
Feel free to pitch in with your own most hated fashion trends!

While we are on the topic of brown, let’s explore another brown that is extremely popular but only seems to have a few fans and that is tobacco. This color is actually pretty interesting looking however it seems to be popping up in all of the stores as well as the runway.
Personally, I think that using tobacco as a color is … terrible. I do not think that this color looks great on anyone and even these models look terrible in it and I think that they just need to nix this particular color. It does not even look springy!
However – tobacco is another hot color this season and it is constantly showing up on the runway.

Brown is another color that is going to be huge this spring and while it might seem like the color is super depressing, it is actually a color that can make you look absolutely amazing. Not only does it have some incredible properties to it, but it is one color that looks great on anyone.
Whether you are short, tall, slim or wider, I can promise that chocolate brown is one of those colors that can make you look and feel awesome and that is one of the major reasons why it has become so, so, so popular lately.
Last blog on color trends is coming up, make sure you stay tuned for the final color trend I have in my back pocket!

Now that we have talked about the bright color trends, let’s go ahead and move onto a color that is not only easy to wear, but it is a color that is absolutely easy to accessorize as well and that is ash. Ash is actually just a little bit off white and almost looks like a dirty white, but it isn’t.
It is popular in lace most of the time, but nowadays, designers are actually making all sorts of things out of this particular color and I love it. You can really make it into anything you want; you can dress ash up or dress it down.
It is perfect for any occasion; it really just depends on exactly what style you are wearing!

Another color that is popping up everywhere is purple. Purple is a color that I absolutely love and it is another color that looks fantastic on the younger generation but you have to be careful whenever you are pairing something with this particular color of purple.
You want to make sure that you wear a minimum of accessories, only because this color is so bright and so feminine, you do not want to overdo it. That will just make you look unfashionable and not good at all.
Just keep the accessories to a minimum and watch the makeup and you can absolutely wear this particular color anytime!

The next color that we are going to talk about is fantastic for women who are younger, for they are generally the ones that want to stand out a bit more. Neon green is actually the color and it is definitely one color that will get you noticed and certainly one color that is going to attract a lot of attention.
It is a very youthful color and it generally looks fantastic on young girls in their 20’s. Personally, I think that neon green is one of those colors that only looks good if the design is right and really only looks great on the right body type.
You have to look good in order to pull this color off. Trust me. More colors in the next blog!

Now that we have talked about one color that is hot, hot, hot this spring/summer, let’s go ahead and explore another color that I did not think would explode onto the scene like it has and that is coral. Coral is a color that can be a bunch of different shades, yet it is all under coral.
It is a mixture of orange and pink and personally, I would not think that these colors would go together but they do and the designers are constantly coming up with some beautiful coral pieces.
You want to stand out a little bit more than coral is allowing you to? Stay tuned for our next color trend!
