Fashion Don’t: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Fashion

“Fur Is Worn by Beautiful Animals and Ugly People.” You must have heard the animal rights groups screaming loud to Mary- Kate Olsen whom they dearly call “Hairy Kate” and Ashley Olsen as "Trashley”. The animal rights advocates heavily criticize the twins because of their decision to wear fur and to use it in their fashion designs. However, I don’t wish to speak about whether or not they should stop promoting fur. Instead, I’d like to give attention on how they wear animal print.

If there’s one don’t that I haven’t mentioned on my style tip “how to wear animal print”, it’s that you shouldn’t wear matronly animal prints.

This cheetah-print blouse failed terribly to make Mary-Kate Olsen look like a 23-year-old trendsetter. It does, however, successfully make her look like a cast member of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey".

I wonder if looking matronly can be in the genes. Seeing Ashley in a body-swallowing scarf, frumpy plaid skirt, and raccoon-like eye makeup, she makes a very good counterpart for her twin.

Fashion Don't! Celebrity Outfit Misteps

It’s undeniable that celebrities are always looked upon by fans as inspirations for fashion. They have power to introduce new trends which are picked up by their audience and copied. This is essentially true for celebrities in Asia. However, while celebrities are always on the quest to create their identity, fashion mistep comes hand in hand. There are only few of them who never had contributed to our list for what we call “fashion don’t!”

Be were on sending message through quotes.

Quotes on t-shirts and other apparels became common since many years back. Usually, a tee with texts is a better option compared to a dull single-colored plain tee. However, unless you wish to send that exact message printed on the fabric, you have to be careful in choosing the quotes.

The driver of a car waiting for the green light opened her window and carelessly threw a banana peel. When she finally got off her car, she turned out to be wearing a pink fitting t-shirt that says “I’m a bitch.”

Don't go saggy!

I wonder if saggy harem pants are made only for tall girls. It does not highlight any curves, which is vital for not long legged girls, therefore it does not create a figure-flattering look. Even if you wear the most gorgeous top, if you pair it with these kind of pants, it might defeat everything. But Janet Jackson was looking very comfortable in them.

Don't wear just anything and everything.

Going too matchy with your outfit can easily create an impression of being a “trying hard fashionista”. Complementary is more of a rule today than matching. But that does not mean that you simply have to throw all items you first grab from your closet - literally anything and everything. When prints clash, it simply says you made no effort. But that’s less harsh than saying you have no taste. Apparently, Mary-Kate Olsen was caught in such an act.

Some bustier aren't meant displayed.

I adore Emma Watson but I don’t adore this dress. I love lace. I love flowers too. But if the lace already took a large part and the embroidered flowers are not very flattering, I no longer need a pair of lacy bustier.
