5 Fashion Mistakes That Are Harmful For You

They may say, no pain, no gain. But you’ve got nothing to gain when the pain eventually ends up killing you. Here are 5 Fashion Habits That Can Kill You.

* Handbags

Ladies, we know how important your bags are to you but that does not mean you should be lugging around a 50kg bag. Prolonged muscle spasms, neck, back and shoulder aches can become a problem if you carry a heavy bag on a daily basis.

* High Heels

How often do you find yourself with sore heels and back pain after a period of wearing high heeled shoes? The pressure you put on all your feet could lead to sprained ankle, stress fractures and foot deformity in the long run.

* Skinny Jeans

This may be a trend loved by many but super tight jeans is bad for health. Wearing them can cause lower back pain, fungal infection, indigestion and “tingling thigh syndrome” due to poor circulation.

* Bras/Corsets

Ill-fitting and tight undergarment can be a hazard to your body. You may think you’re accentuating your curves but in actual fact, you’re limiting oxygen intake and jeopardizing your respiratory system.

* Flip-flops

Sandals may be the lazy-man’s footwear of choice but they provide no support for the heels at all and can cause foot fatigue, sore calf muscle and long-term ankle and hip problems. Not to mention, you can easily slip in them too.
