21 style don’ts to live by

We’re all about emulating outfit ideas from our favorite trendsetting celebrities, but even the chicest stars can make that occasional fashion faux pas. Here, what you should never wear to some of life’s most important events.
Glamour // Glamour

Meeting the parents: DON’T pile on trend after trend.

Miley Cyrus Next Slide

There’s a time and a place for edgy, fashion-forward outfits. Unless these folks are seriously unconventional, this is probably not it.

Child’s birthday party: DON’T wear something too precious.

Previous Slide g2 Next Slide

Chances are there will be plenty of paint, toys, and even barnyard animals around. Hide your silks!

Working out: DON’T wear your boyfriend’s duds.

Previous Slide g3 Next Slide

Wearing something too baggy will not only get in the way of your workout (yikes!), it’ll hide your gorgeous bod. Our vote: Show off those hard-earned curves.

Your bachelorette party: DON’T feel required to go out with props.

Previous Slide g4 Next Slide

If you’re not a props kind of girl, that’s OK. A cool hair accessory or bold lipstick and your most flattering LBD will let everyone know that it’s your special day—no sashes, tiaras, or suggestive plastic jewelry required.

Your wedding anniversary: DON’T be afraid to go all out.

Previous Slide g5 Next Slide

Hey, if you can’t wear that smoking-hot designer dress tonight, when can you?!

Your high school reunion: DON’T force it.

Previous Slide g6 Next Slide

Sure, you want to look great at your reunion, but don’t wear something uncomfortable or un-you if it’s just to impress your childhood frenemies.

A wedding: DON’T wear white.

Previous Slide g7 Next Slide

Under no circumstances should you wear white to a wedding that’s not yours. Unless, of course, you want the bride to give you the death stare.

A football game: DON’T lose your sense of style.

Previous Slide g8 Next Slide

The varsity jacket couldn’t be any hotter right now. Pick up one of Rag & Bone’s colorful options and you’ll be the most stylish lady at the game.

A 5K race: DON’T wear your brand-new gear.

Previous Slide g9 Next Slide

Like a new pair of heels, your running shoes might unexpectedly rub you the wrong way during the first wear, so be sure to break ‘em in before race day.

A European vacation: DON’T dial down the romance.

Previous Slide g10 Next Slide

It’s Europe! Be chic! Channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw by wearing your most fabulous dresses, heels, and everything in between. OK, at least for one dinner.

fashion: trends & must-haves for your wardrobe

  • Block heels

    The ultimate shoe guide

    Browse the season’s hottest trends to find your perfect pair from InStyle’s Ultimate Shoe Guide.

  • Dress

    Easy does it

    Slip into a soft, feminine dress with these no-sweat, all-in-one approaches to looking pulled together.

  • Aquabelle swimsuit

    Step away from the muu-muu. Whether your trouble spot is your stomach, hips, waist, or thighs, we've got you covered with the 10 best suits (out of 270 try-ons!) tested and photographed in our GHRI labs.

  • beach sandls

    Flat sandals for every occasion—because who needs heels?

    Unless you’re one of those people who doesn’t like your feet, you like sandals. (And if not, I’d like to know know why, because sandals are easy, comfy and ideal for showing off cool nail polish colors. I love them.) They’re great for every occasion—work, weekend, beach, parties—with only one catch: it’s hard to find a single pair that’s right for all of them.

  • Swimsuits for body type

    Your perfect suit finder

    Brave women of all body types did a mass try-on (we brought in over 1,000 swimsuits!) to find these flattering, flaw-erasing winners. Seriously—they're better than Photoshop. Browse, buy, and feel beautiful.

  • Beyonce

    You gotta get white jeans!

    White jeans are crisp, flattering, and summer's best unsung staple. And oh, would you look at that — we've found the perfect pair for your body. Here's how to wear them.

  • Sheath dress and strap heels

    Khloé Kardashian styles you

    Khloé Kardashian knows how to dress her curves. Here are her no-fail style tips for every body type.

  • Fitted blazer

    9 pieces you need and can afford

    Trends come and go, but these new must-haves will last a lifetime. Style expert and author of The Wow Factor: Insider Style Secrets for Every Body and Budget Jacqui Stafford's picks are here not just to stay, but also to flatter.

  • Swimsuit for your body types

    The most flattering swimsuit for your body type

    Find your shape’s best buys.

  • Floral-appliqué triangle bikini

    The best swimsuit for your body type—yes, yours!

    When morning talk shows and local newspapers dole out their seasonal swimsuit shopping advice, I’m usually pretty disappointed by the lack of body types represented. What about the women who don’t resemble fruit? (Or aren’t boy-shaped—the third “one of these things is not like the other” category I’ve never quite understood. Couldn’t they say “banana?” Or is that somehow more offensive than “apple” and “pear” shapes?)

  • June Ambrose

    Shoe envy

    Step into spring with style in June Ambrose's new shoe line for HSN.
