You are never too old to make an error in fashion and we all make a mistake from time to time (for example, when we panic before an event with nothing to wear).
We cannot change human nature, but we can aspire to avoid the following errors in 2025 …
1. Buy too soon
It is true that this is complicated because what happens if you see the dress of your dreams, do not take it and then regret forever? That could happen.
But for every time it happened to me, I can think of 20 times when I bought ahead of time and regretted.
Family with the season, take your time, keep in mind that stores like Zara renew your stocks every week and recognize that often the feeling of “ooh, that’s me” is actually “it is finally spring.”

2. Buy on the sales
It is good to buy it on the sales, but only if it is something that will fill a persistent void in your wardrobe.
I bought a beautiful picture coat last January for less than half of the price. Crazy not doing it!
But I didn’t need it, I hadn’t been looking for something like that and I never used it.
(Note: If there is an excellent sheep skin jacket on offer, do it. You will use it forever).
3. Not knowing exactly where you will use it
He looks great, makes you look thinner. Is it surely obvious? But when will you use it? That is the most important question.
We all have a level of office clothing, a party clothing level, and is different from others.
I have a beautiful blouse with silk print that, somehow, is too elegant for the life I lead. He would give it to Claudia Schiffer if he knew how to locate her.
4. Complicated fashion
In life there are many things, recipes, people, books, that simply are not worth it and the same goes for clothes.

Those that have all the buttons, those that require the special bra, the sleeves that squeeze under the arms … and the complicated shoes.
I like Sandals Style Gladiator. I bought a couple this year to refresh the summer dresses, what they could have done well if I had not always looked at them, I sighed and chose the least complicated option to put and remove.
5. Get something too nice
The Too Nice Thing (TNT) is for the woman who has events, thematic parties and a drawer for cream sweaters.
You could get the TNT to, for example, your daughter’s commitment party, but otherwise say no. You will be afraid to use it.
6. Do not use the very beautiful thing

Temptation is to repress not to ruin it or have to clean it for the occasion on which you really need to use it.
The Quito Nice Thing (QNT) will remain unused if you persist in thinking about your clothes in categories: normal, some effort, better.
The QNT is to use now. It will become fashionable apart from anything else. Use all your clothes all the time.
7. Buy two
You can love something, use it to death and cry when it is gone, but the backup will end up boring.
8. Wearing Beige
Especially next to your face if you are not prepared to use large amounts of makeup. The same goes for gray.
9. Give the right money in a bag

Many women do it and that’s fine.
But now we have Louenhide with surprising quality bags, including the Monaco shoulder bag, $ 89.95 (Theiconic.com.au).
10. Black pants
Instead, use brown, ink blue, dark olive or its elegant denim. Unless they are velvet or corduroy, black pants now feel corporate.

11. Ignoring your ideal hem
Everyone has an ideal hem, established after years of successes and errors. Deviate from this at your own risk.
The assistant says you look great, but your instinct says “no”, so you will never relax.
12. Opaque means
Beyond 50 years, it is necessary to rethink the stockings. A more transparent average is much more flattering. Opaque becomes childish in an older leg.
13. adjusted anywhere except in the hips.
Sometimes I still lean in the wrong direction.
Everything, from sweaters to shirts and jeans, benefits from an inch more ease.
