I’m an elegance expert – 5 fall clothing items to avoid, don’t waste your money on a horrendous leather trend
AN elegance coach has shared the clothing items that are bringing down your fall look.
The fashion expert revealed the five popular trends that can hinder your classy appearance.
In her video, the TikTok user, who goes by Level Blue (@level_blue), offered her followers elegant alternatives to the fashion faux pas.
For her first recommendation, she advised her audience against purchasing wide-cut leather pants.
She explained: “Any leather pants for that matter but the wide ones are on trend right now.
“I see so many fast fashion stores selling them but don’t waste your money, it looks horrendous.”
She also pointed out that the trend will eventually pass and the unique style will look quite dated.
“If you like wide-cut pants you can look very chic and classy if you choose another material,” she told viewers.
Next, she discussed another fashion item within the current leather trend.
She said: “The same goes for the black leather midi and maxi skirts, most of them have a very awkward cut and the length is not flattering for this very heavy material.”
Showing an example of a woman wearing a leather midi skirt and matching boots, she explained: “The boots make it look even worse, this is definitely something you want to avoid.”
The professional also recommended avoiding teddy fleece jackets this fall.
She told her audience: “I see that brands refuse to let go of this trend, it’s made from plastic, it creates static, it makes you look like a soft toy animal, very far from an elegant look.
“Instead go for a wool coat, it is timeless, it is sophisticated, and it will keep you warm.”
For her next tip, she offered up another jacket that classy women should avoid.
“Shapeless puffer jackets and crop puffer jackets are not flattering on any shape,” she told viewers.
The expert continued: “It looks bulky and cheap, unfortunately, most of them in the stores are oversized and shapeless.
“It is really difficult to find a nice jacket that will accentuate your waist or give you some sort of shape.”
She told her followers that she was hoping the trend would pass as she finds it “ridiculously challenging to find a nice jacket these days.”
Finally, she tackled a go-to cozy dress style for the autumn season, knit dresses.
She specified that she was not a fan of the “shapeless oversized” style, comparing it to “a sack of potatoes.”
The fashion fanatic also pointed out: “Most of them are made from synthetic materials, I don’t know who created this design or why but I do know that we should stay away from it.
“Even if you use a belt to try to create some sort of waist it still looks bad because there’s just too much loose fabric everywhere.”
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the advice.
“It really is hard to find a warm winter coat that doesn’t look like you’re wearing stuffed trash bags,” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “Actually, I never understood the leather trend. And it’s on for over a decade now.”
“I absolutely agree that it is very difficult to find something decent in fast fashion stores,” commented a third person.
