From Don't to Do: 5 Fashion faux pas we're reconsidering

    Socks & Sandals
    A fashion topic so controversial it has its own dedicated Wikipedia page (yep, we checked), the socks-and-sandals trend has been reinvented time and time again. In some cases - like the argyle-socks-and-velcro-sandal combination worn by many unassuming middle-aged men - it can make you double over with laughter, but seeing how there are other footwear variations it can be paired with, we're sold. To embark on the risque trend, start with neutral colours. Pair grey or white with black, and then move onto more daring looks like bright colour-blocking and print-pairing.

    Oversized T-Shirt
    We've grown up being told to wear clothes that fit us to a T, but in fashion, rule breakers are the best dressers. The trick to wearing an oversized shirt is what you pair it with. Go for cropped hems or slim silhouettes like mini skirts and super-skinny jeans to show off those legs. Matching an oversized top with a voluminous bottom might overwhelm your frame, making you look bulky.

    Super-ripped Jeans
    Ripped jeans are a timeless trend that accompanies us on our casual weekend style. Taking this trend too far is too easy if the rips in your denim are too big, risking to make you look like you've just been mangled by a large animal (yikes!). To look polished while wearing the look, opt for those with small rips throughout the length of the trousers, or just a few large strategic rips at the knees or thighs. Wearing them with heels and a crisp shirt will instantly elevate your ensemble.

    See-through
    After the influx of barely-there dresses at this year's Met Gala worn by Beyonce, J. Lo and Kim K, you might be sick of the see-through trend. But don't give up just yet - you can wear it in a chic, grown-up girl way by concentrating the translucent effect on just one item of clothing or a specified detail in the outfit. Keep the mesh or organza look to just one piece, like a see-through top or lined skirt, or pull off an effortless flair by going with transparent sleeves.

    Sweatpants
    Not quite the cultural norm for wearing out in public, many have debated that sweatpants are strictly for the home or to the gym. But as usual, the fashion-forward have managed to wear the look for many a fashion show with the-devil-may-care-type grace. Keep from looking like you rolled out of bed by avoiding hoodies at all costs, unless you're going for a workout sesh. Instead, match the pants the way you would with a pair of tailored trousers and go with a sleek shirt or evening blouse, and statement shoes.

From socks and sandals to sweatpants and over-ripped jeans, we take a look at the trends that could just be saved with a few style tips.

The trends in fashion have become talking points in the news, gossip sites, and among trend forecasters, whether they're good or bad. Some have left for good (we haven't seen the high-low skirt make a comeback for years now), while some are here to stay. We're all for moderation and making the right choices, so it's most likely that when these trends look less than appealing, it's because they're just not being pulled off the right way.

Our gallery houses 20 streetstyle looks you can learn a trick or two from, in 5 supposed fashion faux pas that we think are completely wearable. From socks plus sandals to sweatpants, own the look and defy the stereotype that fashion is just about five-minute trends.
