I’m a fashion pro – the three looks that’ll make you look cheap this summer & why you need to bin the canvas tote pronto
A STYLE whizz has revealed how to elevate your appearance this summer – and the fashion fads to steer clear of.
Gloria Polato took to TikTok to offer a helping hand to fellow fashionistas, where she listed three mistakes that make your outfit cheap and tacky.
Although your make-up does play a huge part, according to Gloria getting fashion right is just as important – and your footwear is no exception.
It’s summer and most of us have ditched trainers for more comfortable and weather-appropriate sandals.
But, as the whizz revealed in her video, not all sandals belong in an elegant lady’s wardrobe – and sadly, the cult favourite Birkenstocks need to go.
Whilst they may be ideal for enjoying the sun in the garden or a walk on the beach, Gloria urged to swap these for a more chic look, for instance, the viral Hèrmes sandals in brown.
If you’re not keen to fork out an eye-watering £540 for the must-have Ankara Sandal, shoppers have found a dupe at H&M that’s over £500 cheaper.
Gloria also strongly urged to think about the bag you’re leaving the home with – and the basic white tote bags are best avoided at all costs.
Instead, the fashion guru recommended to swap this for a more classy leather – or faux leather- bag that you can carry all of your essentials in.
Last but not least, the styling pro, believed to be from Italy, advised her fans to be careful when picking accessories.
Here, she insisted to stick to the ‘less is better’ approach and choose jewellery that’s dainty and chic.
Meanwhile, those picking necklaces, rings and earrings with bright, colourful charms and emojis are risking falling into the ‘tacky’ category.

But despite the recommendations, it seems that not everyone will be taking them on board, as hundreds flocked to comments to hit back at the expert.
One said: ”Birkenstock is LIFE! only girls with real style! If you know you know.”
Another penned: ”Couldn’t disagree more!”
”I love Birkenstock!” another fan of the sandal wrote.
”Non elegant=comfort,” someone else joined the conversation on the platform.
