While being a style icon may take a lot of work which you’re not prepared to put in, it’s reasonably easy to not look like a disaster. The key is to not try to be too fashionable, fashion is not about aping styles without knowing whether they suit you or not, it is more about wearing things that you’re comfortable and not making a absolute cake out of yourself 

The DONTS of dressing are as follows:

For both the sexes in general the most important thing is to not try too hard. Don’t try to team everything up with something else of the same colour. For example it is not necessary to wear a pair of orange shoes with an orange t-shirt. Also if you’re a guy try avoiding the orange altogether.

Next try not to wear ripped jeans, jeans with motifs or anything like that, because to be very honest it’s only rock stars that can get away with that. So if you’re a regular Joe or Jane then its best to stick to your basic Levis or any other basic pair of blue denims. Nothing is as classy as plain denims. Also if you’re a guy its best if you’re jeans allow you a little breathing space, because unless you are Brad Pitt or Antonio Banderas, tight jeans probably do not suit you. Of course for the ladies, the more fitting they are the better. Unless of course you have a behind the size of a room.

Shoes are another thing that talk a lot about an individual’s personality. So ladies who wear bright pink or leopard print platforms, please stop. Get yourself a pair of sexy black heels or converse sneakers. Also guys if you really want to wear pointed shoes please get black ones or maybe brown.

There is nothing more tragic than a guy who wears white pointed shoes with stuff written on it. Just stick to sneakers or flip flops.So the mantra of the week, is don’t ape what the celebrities are doing. Just be yourself and wear what complements you.
