Is your love of fashion hurting your health?
For centuries, women (and men!) have sacrificed health and wellness for beauty and fashion. Sure, today's hottest trends may look great, but as anyone who has squeezed into skinny jeans or spent eight hours in stilettos can tell you, following suit can lead to misery.
You might be willing to put up with temporary pain to look fabulous, but when bowing to fashion leads to long-term health damage, it may be time to reprioritize.
Here are seven style trends that you should think twice about following:
1. Skinny jeans
Tight jeans look great on fit bodies — and they may suck in extra flab on less fit ones. Trouble is, painted-on pants can restrict circulation, compress critical nerves (leading to numbness and tingling) and interfere with digestion. Tummy trouble, heartburn and gas aren't exactly glamorous! Plus, skinny jeans trap heat and moisture, which can increase the risk of yeast infections in women and reduced sperm count in men.
2. Belts and waist trainers
The modern-day corset, also known as "Spanx," comes with numerous health concerns. While waist-trainers and compression garments may shrink your stomach temporarily, according to Karen Russell-Little, internist at Henry Ford Medical Center – Novi, they can also prevent your lungs from fully inflating. And when you can't take a deep breath, your body and brain miss out on much-needed oxygen. "You might feel dizzy, lightheaded and even hyperventilate," Russell-Little says. Like skinny jeans, belts cinched too tightly (even the stretchy ones) can also compress the major nerve that runs from the belly to the outer thigh and wreak havoc on your digestive system.
3. Tight neckties
Wearing tight, collared shirts or too-tight ties can reduce circulation to the brain and increase pressure in the eyes. Over time, this restrictive neckwear increases your risk of developing eye problems ranging from blurred vision to glaucoma. It can also be a pain in the neck — literally. Tight neckties decrease range of motion, causing strain in the shoulders, neck and back. Russell-Little's advice: Make sure you can fit three fingers behind the tie so coughing, sneezing and laughing don't make you feel like you're choking.
4. High heels

Whether you're wearing platforms or stilettos, high-heeled shoes force the torso to tilt forward while the rest of the body leans backwards to compensate, Russell-Little says. Wear them every day, and you may cause fatigue of the calf muscles, leading to cramping and pain. Adding insult to injury, the irregular distribution of weight also alters your balance, so you end up walking more on the balls of your feet. That can lead to foot and toe cramps. And let's face it, there's nothing sexy about bunions, hammertoes and "pump bumps" (lumps or bulges on the back of your heel) — let alone falling on your face.
5. Flip-flops
Sure, they may look comfy, but there's a reason flimsy fashion statements should stay on the beach. Not only are your feet exposed to the elements (dirt, germs, sharp objects), but they also have zero support and heel cushioning. "That forces you to walk differently, even clench your toes to keep them on," Russell-Little says. The end result: foot fatigue, sore calf muscles and strain on the tendons of your feet. Still wedded to the simple slip-on? Spring for support flip-flops that wear more like shoes and mold to your feet.
6. Sexy underwear
Certain materials (like non-breathable lace) can trap moisture and lead to vaginal and urinary tract infections. What's worse, the constant friction against the fabric can cause skin irritation, small tears in the delicate skin around the genitals and increased risk of infection. Wearing thong panties increases the ick factor — the thin band acts as a vehicle for fecal matter to travel.
7. Oversized bags
Heavy handbags and briefcases throw your posture off-balance, says Lanny Orr, chiropractor at the Center for Integrative Medicine. Over time, the lopsided load causes muscles in your spine to curve, which can lead to lower back pain. Ditch the heavy bags in favor of lighter cargo (no more than 10 percent of your body weight) or opt for a messenger bag that fits diagonally across your body. Better yet, wear a backpack — over both shoulders.
The bottom line? Make sure you are balancing looking good and making a fashion statement with taking care of your body and your health.

The universally reviled short-in-front, long-in-back hairdo — also known as hockey hair, the beaver paddle, the ape drape and, very appropriately, the shlong (an amalgam of short-long) — is having a major moment in the form of dresses, not ’dos.
That’s thanks in part to gorgeous Amal Alamuddin, a?k?a Mrs. Clooney, who stepped out in two designer mullet dresses over her wedding weekend in Venice.
While the style has been around for years — Geena Davis’ hilarious 1992 Oscars get-up landed her on worst-dressed lists — it’s made a comeback. Designers from Raf Simons at Dior to Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Giambattista Valli have sent bilevel creations down the catwalk in recent seasons.

On the other hand, Geena Davis’ infamous dress at the 1992 Academy Awards has gone down in Oscar history as one of the all-time most comical getups.

Celebs like Marion Cotillard, January Jones, Anne Hathaway and Lena Dunham have rocked variations at parties and awards shows, ranging from the mini-mullet (when the front is calf-height) to the modern mullet (architectural design with no flounces) to the minidress with a train.
It’s also a trend that’s notoriously difficult to pull off. On the wrong person, the style can look like something is missing (the front of the dress and common sense). On the right one, it’s, as they say, party in front, business in back.
“The beauty of the mullet dress is it doesn’t require a full commitment, which also makes it versatile,” says Stellene Volandes, executive style director at Town & Country. “The key is a nude shoe, which looks good from either side.”

Fashion critics have universally praised Amal’s trendsetting attire: a custom red-and-black Alexander McQueen creation for her women-only pre-wedding dinner and an embellished white lace Giambattista Valli fall/winter 2014 frock for her first appearance as a married lady.
The public liked them, too. A Valli publicist reached in Paris reported that the house has received multiple requests for the couture creation.
“Amal can do it, she’s got the body type for it,” says Robert Verdi, celebrity stylist and TV personality.
Still, he concedes that the mullet dress is “not my favorite silhouette by any means.”
‘This is a look that needs to come with a warning label, as well as a brand label.’
- Robert Verdi
“This is a look that needs to come with a warning label, as well as a brand label,” says Verdi.
“People see it and think they can get away with it, but you have to be very tall and thin to get the full benefit of the style. You can’t put that dress on a short girl or a fat girl.”
Amal, of course, is the opposite.

“She’s long and lean and dramatic,” says Verdi, who admired her fashion choices.
“The [lace dress] is covered up, and then you glance down and it’s very naughty and you see her little skinny Barbie legs. It falls into the category of, ‘the world is your gynecologist.’ It’s that racy quality that makes this particular dress so interesting.”

Not so much: Stella McCartney’s dress (of her own design) is rigid at the 2011 Met Gala; Paula Patton is a beautiful woman, but why did she tack a dust ruffle on her scarlet mini- dress? The actress wore this overly revealing get-up to Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party earlier this year; Did Marion Cotillard have a medical emergency? This white Dior contraption bears an uncanny resemblance to a hospital gown; Kim Kardashian wrestled with an alligator at a 2012 MTV event in Germany and this is what she got: a long, heavy tail that she had to drag around behind her all night!Photo: Chance Yeh/PatrickMcMullan.com; Steve Granitz/WireImage; George Pimentel/WireImage; Mike Marsland/WireImage
Style and beauty expert Mary Alice Stephenson also raves about both of Amal’s mullet dresses: “The fact that [the Valli dress] was cut shorter in the front made it a more modern way to get dressed up when the sun’s still out.
“If you cover it all up, it’s not really modern,” she concludes. “If you show it all off, it’s not modern. The best way is to find the middle ground.”
Overall, Stephenson gives the high-low hemline an energetic thumbs up.
“I think it’s a sophisticated, elegant way to show a little skin. If you have the legs to pull it off, go for it,” she advises. “It’s a wow moment from the waist down.”
