Purchasing clothing and footwear involves more than simply fashion choices; it also involves decisions that affect your well-being.
 
Contrary to common opinion, showing off your sense of style is not the only thing you can do with your appearance and demeanor. Over time, these seemingly little decisions may cause health problems. Have you ever considered, for example, how carrying a bulky purse on one shoulder may be overtaxing one arm and causing nerve damage? Heavy-purse syndrome is a moniker for it. But you carry your purse to work or college every day without even realizing how it affects your health.

There are other ways that fashion and health may coexist. Continue reading to find out about further fashion errors that may be harmful to your health:
 
Heels
Wearing high heels is not a good idea, as you are surely already aware. In addition to affecting posture, it can cause chronic problems like knee discomfort, neck strain, and lower back pain. Due to decreases in bone density, women should avoid wearing heels on a regular basis, especially if they are in their thirties or going through menopause or perimenopause.
 
Heavy Bags
Many of us have a tendency to pack everything we own and combine flair and functionality. Additionally, one arm or shoulder typically takes the bulk of the strain. Numerous health problems might result from holding a large bag incorrectly on a daily basis.
 
Lifting a heavy bag has a detrimental long-term effect on bone and muscular health. Heavy bags put a lot of strain on the shoulders, neck, and spine, which over time can cause muscular imbalances, bad posture, and chronic pain, according to Dr. Mihir Thanvi, an orthopedic consultant at Apollo Spectra Hospital in Jaipur.
 
Tight Clothing
Do you know what petticoat cancer is? It is associated with overtightening the petticoat or dhoti, which causes irritation around the waist. Only while wearing tight-fitting apparel, particularly around the waist, on a regular basis can this occur.
 
This is only one instance of how wearing clothes that is too tight may be lethal.
 
In order to prevent a variety of health issues, health professionals also advise against wearing clothing such as corsets and tight, slim jeans.
 
Ill-fitted and synthetic undergarments
The fabric and fit are quite important when it comes to underwear.
 
Because they can retain moisture and cause skin irritation, fungal infections, or urinary tract infections, synthetic and non-breathable fabrics are strictly prohibited.
 
Additionally, the neck and shoulders are strained by poorly fitted bras. You most definitely don't want to go through such agony and anguish.

Contact Lenses without Proper Care
We all like how colored glasses quickly give our appearance a little extra punch. For that matter, even clear (or non-colored) lenses let the eyes shine through rather than being dominated by large frames. It can, however, be devastating if one does not practice good cleanliness or adhere to the fundamental guidelines for wearing lenses.
 
Infections, dry eyes, and even corneal damage can result from using contact lenses for extended periods of time, not cleaning them correctly, or having a shower while wearing them.
