I’m a fashion whizz and here are the three items you must ditch this summer – otherwise you’ll look seriously cheap
A FASHION whizz and etiquette expert has revealed the three items you must ditch this summer if you want to look elegant.
So if you’ve got a holiday planned or are thinking about heading to the shops to pick up some new summer items, then you’ll need to listen up quickly.
Antonia Higham took to TikTok and shared her video with the caption ‘Not Elegant VS Elegant.’
According to this fashionista, if you’re looking for a new bikini to sunbathe in during the heatwave, you’ll want to make sure that you get one that makes you look elegant, rather than cheap.
Antonia advised social media users to avoid bright neon coloured bikinis that have thin, cross-strap detailing.
Instead, for a more elevated look, Antonia suggested opting for a thicker strap bikini.
Not only this, but for your bikini to look expensive, get one in a more neutral colour, in this case, white.
When it comes to beach bags, Antonia shared the bag to leave at the shop and the one to order instead.
Rather than choosing a loud bag with logos or writing on it, Antonia suggested choosing a more elegant straw bag.
A straw bag will not only go with lots of outfits, but is much more stylish in her opinion.
Finally, if you’d rather wear a swimming costume than a bikini, the fashion expert suggested that you pay attention.
According to her, instead of opting for one that you think looks expensive, for example a designer one with a logo plastered on the front, she advised rocking a more understated piece.
In her eyes, wearing a Gucci costume with the label on show will not make you look expensive.
Instead, she advised getting a plain black costume, noting that it will do the job just right than one covered in a logo.
Antonia’s clip has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed a whopping 115,700 views.
It has 5,067 likes, 37 comments, 333 saves and 10 shares.
But social media users were left divided at her claims.
One person said: “I agree with some of your posts but I’m fighting to find the line between elegant dressing and looking boring and old-fashioned.”
However, another added: “The white bathing suit on [the] right [is] basic [and] boring.”
