A lot of women suffer for their fashion, putting their bodies through things, and into things, that are not necessarily the ideal situations for physical comfort. Fashion can be a real killer sometimes, that’s what they say, but have you ever taken a second to think about the truth behind that statement? Are there things that you are doing with your clothing and accessories that might be causing you harm? Here are some fashion habits that may affect your overall look and even your health.
Badly fitting bra
A high percentage of ladies are walking around every day wearing bras that don’t actually fit properly. You are wearing the wrong size if the band rubs against your breasts, if you can slide your fingers underneath it with ease, and if your straps are constantly digging into your shoulders. Making this mistake every single day can lead to lots of back and posture problems.

In extreme cases, it can even restrict your breathing.
5. Wearing stilettos

Not only is your foot contorted, but to achieve balance, you have to pull forward slightly which over time can start to cause problems with neck and back muscles.
