WAIT!! Before dialing or dropping in a mail.
You should reflect back and give a look at yourself? Did you ever think what’s provoking your colleagues to make such snide remarks? God forbid but you might fit in the Fashion Disaster Club!
Below we discuss the top 5 fashion disasters that both men and women commit knowingly or unknowingly. Let’s start with the WOMEN first.
TOP FIVE FASHION DISASTER AT WORK FOR WOMAN
LOUD AND DULL COLORS
The fuschia/ Rani Pink, Flourcent green kurtis or tees are absolutely a NO-NO in the office. This might be the colors of the season but is absolutely not okay for the office. Similarly, if you are wearing a dull or washed out color it is absolutely not a good choice. Also, wearing an outfit that has taken the color of another dress while washing them together even though you have worn it once in your life should not be worn again.
TOO SMALL TO FIT IN
Never wear too tight clothes to office. If somebody comments that you have been wearing the shirt or tee since you were 5 year old or have raided a teenager’s wardrobe. It’s time for you to shun that piece of clothing. Also, if your belly fat is bulging from the seams than its better you go for a new wardrobe.
ARE YOU WEARING A TENT TO WORK?
Similarly, oversized clothes should also be avoided. Please don’t wear your husband’s tees and jeans to office to make yourself look trendier. If you have picked that snazzy looking XXL top in a sale where getting your size is a matter of luck. Please do invest in a good tailor. Many retail malls has got their own tailors so you can make use of this service also.
ON-THE-MOVE JEWELLERY SHOP
Did somebody term you as an on-the-move jewellery shop? Well if the answer is affirmative than instead of taking it as a compliment reflect on it. Accessories like bags, scarves and minimal jewellery looks very fashionable. But the idea is to keep it simple. Simple studs/ earrings, a pendent looks classy enough. Also, wearing heavy anklets that clinks, rings while moving through the office like a spectre of ‘Umrao Jaan’ is not classy at all.
HAIR-DO
Well wearing a ‘BAD HAIR DAY’ tee doesn’t excuse you of a bad hair do. Please do invest in a good haircut and styling products to make you more presentable.

TOO MUCH CASUAL
Avoid embroidered, flowery, block prints in your shirts. The flip-flops, sportswear is best for home and the gym. Even if you are wearing jeans at work, make sure it fits well and is clean. You can pair up your jeans with shirts or a well-fitted jacket. Also, wearing sneakers with your formals is a major faux pas.
UGGH! UNDERARMS STAINS
If you sweat a lot and get underarms stains in your shirts getting a good deodorant or an antiperspirant could be of help to you. To avoid embarrassment, please also make sure to properly wash your garments to get rid of the yellow stains.
LONG HAIR, PONYTAIL
The ‘Joe Masceranhas’ look of ‘ROCK ON’ fame is in vogue. But this look doesn’t go with the office environment. Even if you are straightening your hair pokey straight, you got to take care of it by investing on shampoos and conditioners meant for it or better go for a clean and short look. Even if you are growing your hair it should not go beyond the base of your neck.
COLOGNE TORTURE
Spraying a whole bottle of cologne for office is not a cool idea. Too much of cologne repels others and yes you are at higher risk of getting busted about not taking a bath. Also, too much of after shave and cologne is a deadly mix for the nostrils of your colleagues. So, keep it at a minimum.
BLATANT LOGOS AND LABELS
The blatant logos and labels tees should be avoided at work. Tees displaying a ‘DUDE’, a ‘STUD’, and a ‘ROCKSTAR’ across your chest looks very inferior. Also, wearing too tight tees to show off your well toned body will make you look like a bouncer at a disc. So, avoid it.
If you have a look around the people who are dressed well are the ones who keep it simple but classy. They are not trends fanatic but wear clothes that fit them. So, go on for a classy fashionable look as you have got the clues now.
