The Style Mistake Models Never Make
There’s no doubting that models regularly teach us more than a few styling tricks. After all, the “model-off-duty look” fell into our vernacular years ago when the street style scene emerged and all of us “non-models” wanted to achieve the casual cool outfits they’d mastered. Over the years, we’ve picked up on some of their styling tricks and the fashion rules they follow. But what is the number one style mistake they never make? They always pay attention to fit and avoid pieces that don’t work for their body types. Go on to get inspiration from 19 model outfits you’ll want to repeat.
