But now an expert has come to the rescue and revealed there are six items that you should never buy, labelling them “problematic.”
Personal stylist Dawn Anna Williamson, whose TikTok profile is @dawnannawilliamson, said that after years of working with clients, she’s noticed a particular pattern and realised the same items are always “edited out of the closet”.
She told her 12.4k social media followers: “These are the fashion items I would recommend that you NOT buy – they will stay in your wardrobe hanging there forever, never being worn.
“They’re just too problematic, let’s get into it…”
Dawn then launched into her list, starting out with the sleeveless coat, including the faux fur gilet and the sleeveless long tailored vest.
She continued: “Any outerwear that has no sleeves – forget it!
“Think about it like this – if it’s warm enough to not wear sleeves, it’s far too warm to be wearing a coat.
“It means you’ve got a layer underneath it and that just causes so many problems for people that are not fashion savvy.”
Dawn then revealed this led nicely onto her second banned item.
She continued: “On the same theme, I would steer clear of sleeveless knitwear.
“You’re not going to wear it when it’s warm enough to be sleeveless and you’re not going to be layering it underneath a coat in Winter because you’ll be too cold.”
The third point of the video was what Dawn slammed as her own “person bug bear”.
The TikTok star revealed: “Elasticated waistbands – specifically very thin, gathered elastic waists.
“They flatter no-one. They do not give you a waist line and while they may feel comfortable, your silhouette is not tailored and overall you will look bigger.”

Following on from this piece of advice, Dawn also said it was important to think about how your figure looks in other types of clothing.
“Do not buy skirts that do not have a structured waistband. Your waistband needs to hit you on your bottom ribs.”
While her penultimate tip was arguably one of the best, as she advised that style fans should think carefully about the material of their clothes.
Dawn explained: “This is a big one – items that have a summer style but are in a winter fabric.
“That could be a knitted sleeveless dress or a heavy fabric dress in a summer colour and cut.
“It’s an item that has no specific and defined purpose.”
She also said that while commonly known, it’s worth pointing out that scratchy knitwear gets a big thumbs down.
Dawn said: “If you try a knit on and it irritates you in any way, do not buy it.
“That sweater will stay in your closet gathering dust forever.”
