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.

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.
