I’m an elegance expert – three common styling mistakes that will make you look tacky this fall

AS the weather begins to get colder, it can be tempting to throw on a big sweater or a pair of comfy ankle boots.

An Instagrammer has revealed how you can elevate these fall staples and how to avoid common styling mistakes.

Instagram user Anda, who runs the account Andaslife, shared

For her first tip, the elegance expert advised her followers to emphasize their shape when wearing jumpers in colder weather.

"Avoid wearing shapeless oversized clothes that make you look bigger. Add a belt to highlight your waist and balance your proportions," she said.

The influencer also recommended matching your shorts to your tights.

"Avoid wearing light-colored shorts in denim or other lightweight materials with black tights. Instead, opt for shorts in darker colors and thick materials," Anda advised.

For her final fashion tip, the Instagrammer recommended matching your trousers and boots based on length.

"Avoid wearing ankle trousers with ankle boots. This creates the sandwich effect," Anda explained.

She suggested: "Opt for longer trousers and same color boots to elongate your legs."

Anda's followers took to the Instagram comments section to share their thoughts on the advice.

"Thank you for [this] advise. I could have done the mistake of ankle boots with ankle pants," one viewer said.

Another user commented: "The ankle trouser with ankle boots, I see so many people wearing that and it does not look good at all."
