4. Black Tights/Light Shoes

Why black tights with light shoes may be too young for you to wear: This is a trend that pops up occasionally, but it's now making its way from young celebrities all the way up to the likes of grandmother Kris Jenner. The main problem with the look is that it breaks the visual line and makes you look like you have big feet.
