4 Fashion "Mistakes" I'm Leaving Behind in 2021

"The mistake I can't seem to quit (yet) is getting dressed to suit my whims and throwing practicality to the wind. Blame it on my Sagittarius and Aries in my chart,

but I am a sucker for instant gratification. If I want to wear a certain outfit that day, I'm going to wear it! In the pictured case, I wore a leather dress on a blazing hot day. My natural deodorant was no match. I knew this would be the case, but I wore the dress anyway and I still can't get the odor out of the armpits. I probably would have worn it in the rain, too, if the mood struck! I can think of countless other examples: wearing a spaghetti strap dress to a brisk outdoor wedding and wearing an uncomfortable suit to a panel where adjusting my outfit took away from my focus. In 2021, I look forward to caring for my own comfort a bit more, and realizing that even if the outfit looks banging, if I don't feel equally as good, it doesn't matter."—Kat Collings, Who What Wear editor in chief
