Fashion is supposed to empower you and make you feel good about yourself. But to what extent?
Some of the trends abound can actually harm you and even make you fall sick. Here are some fashion fads you should think twice about.
Tight-Fitting Jeans
Yes, these jeans may make your body look good, but wearing them on a regular basis can potentially harm your lower body. Jeans can press into the nerves supplying the thigh so you can get numbness at the side of the thigh with some tingling. It can also lead to weakness in the lower limbs.
High Heels
While it said that the right pair of shoes can make or break an outfit, it is also true that the right pair of shoes can be the wrong one for your body. Lateral ankle sprain, stress fractures, worsening of bunions, hammertoes, neuroma pain and burning under the balls of the foot are common side effects of wearing heels for long. Moreover, prolonged periods of wearing high heels can alter the natural positioning of your feet and ankle.
Stretching and strengthening exercises can be done to prepare feet and ankles for high heels.
Neck Ties
It is of utmost importance to avoid securing your tie too tight. This measure is to avoid building up of intracranial pressure and its resulting increased eye pressure. Give your neck region enough breathing space at all times.
Gel Manicures
Gel manicures have taken the fashion world by storm recently. However, over exposure to the U.V. light that dries the nails can lead to photo damage to the hand, that can result in increased aging of the skin and also increased risk of skin cancer. This can be prevented by getting gel manicures less frequently or going to salons that utilize LED light.
Tight hairstyles
Women should avoid tying tight ponytails or buns often. Pulling tightly on the hair follicles for a long period of time can lead to traction alopecia, which causes permanent hair-loss. The solution is to loosen the strength of the pull and make sure that there isn’t any discomfort or tension.

Heavy Handbags
Large and heavy handbags cause a lot of strain on your shoulders, back, tendons, and muscles. This can lead to pain, headaches, and muscle tension, some of which becomes serious enough to need medical attention. It is best to carry light and switch handbags among shoulders.
