culled from:thebudgetfashionista.com

Since fashion has become an aspect of life important to everyone and not just rich folks, an influx of DO and DO NOT advice has steadily been dispensed. We thought we’d take a look at the history of fashion and see what stood out as the 20 best fashion tips of all time, and this is what we culled!

TBF Presents Our 20 All-Time Best Fashion Tips!

1. Of Socks and Sandals

Do not wear socks and sandals. (This cannot be emphasized enough for men.)

2. Your Tailor is your BFF.

Whatever you are wearing, make sure it fits you beautifully. If it doesn’t, have it altered.

3. It’s in the Jeans, Baby!

Take the time and money and find jeans that you adore. They are a staple, make you feel sexy and comfortable at the same time, and can be dressed up or down.

4. Power of Multiples

If you love a piece of clothing and it loves you back- buy in multiple.

5. Rule of Thumb: Comfort Before Cute (Or You’re a Fashion Meltdown Waiting to Happen)

Gilda Radner famously said she based her fashion sense on what doesn’t itch. Smart lady. If your clothing makes you feel miserably uncomfortable, no matter how stylish or cute it is, you won’t wear it.

6. Jazz It Up!

Pick accent pieces that stand out. You’ll love them, they’ll add flair and personality to the blandest outfit.

7. Kathryn Finney’s Shopping Mantra

It is only a bargain if you will actually ever wear it. Otherwise, move on.

8. What is Essential is Often Underneath

Get fitted for your bra. The support helps your breasts stay in shape by keeping them from sagging, and the confidence you’ll have underneath tee shirts, tanks and dresses is worth it.

9. Practice Yin-Yang when Pairing Outfits

Pair loose clothing with tighter fitting clothing. Balance keeps you from looking like a sausage or shlumpy.

10. When in Doubt, Dress Up

Enough said.

11. Invest in Classics

A blazer, pencil skirt, little black dress.

12. Don’t be a Slave to Fashion Fads

Stay aware of trends, but forget them entirely if they don’t look good on you.

13. Know your measurements!

Save money by shopping for well-fitting outfits the first time (plus you don’t have to deal with those pesky return policies that magically vary from store to store).

14. Don’t Let Your Love for Lassie Show in Your Shirt Sleeves, Please.

Remove lint and hair from your clothing. The best outfit you own will look drab with dog hair all over.

15. Let’s Talk About Denim on Denim

Yes, we know that some say there is a ‘right way’ to wear denim on denim. No. No there’s not. Just don’t do it.

16. Organize Your Closet! 

If you don’t know what you have, it’s not doing you any good. Neither is that cute but totally wrinkled and crumpled shirt at the bottom of your drawer you’ve been looking for for weeks.

17. Show skin strategically.

If your legs are bare and up to there, cover the cleavage.

18. Dress your age. 

This isn’t as prohibitive as some make it out to be, but no matter how great your figure at 70, a sleeveless mini is odd.

19. Buy classics with a twist. 

Like this scarf in animal print, for instance.

20. Don’t listen to your mother. 

Or your aunt, or your Grandma, or your dad. They mean well, but you need to get their voices our of your head and find your own sense of style.
