WE’VE all seen the TikTok videos of “British chavs”.

Even Kim Kardashian had a go at doing her own complete with orange foundation.

In other versions of the viral TikTok trend you can see anything from huge hoop earrings to chunky necklaces and hair scrunchies. 

All of these accessories are now synonymous with mocking “chavs” and should be avoided in your looks if you don't want to be labelled as one.

Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals what accessories are making your outfit look tacky.

SCRUNCHIES

Hair scrunchies will bring down even the most elegant of well put together outfits.

Even if you were dressed head to toe in designer, in a ball gown, on a red carpet - a scrunchie would make you look tacky. 

Better suited to children the hair-tie is better used for when you’re at home, or at night, but only with a satin or silk style as they’re much kinder on hair than elastic. 

BIG HOOPS

When you first look at someone, your eyes go to their face.
And what's more distracting and off putting than two big hoops hanging off your ears. 

They’re old fashioned now, more Paris Hilton in the noughties with a flip phone and wrap around glasses.

Smaller styles in plain silver or gold are much more subtle and stylish - and don’t distract from your face.  

TOO MANY RINGS

Age old etiquette rules dictate that ladies should wear no more than three rings. 

Where that originated from I don’t know, but they have a point. 

Wearing rings on every finger, sometimes with multiple rings per finger, is just too much.

It's clunky, and heavy, and very similar to Mr T from the A-Team.  Not someone you’d want to be compared to.

Plus, getting them on and off everyday as well as cleaning them every time you wash your hands during the day must be tiresome. 

Remember, less is always more. 

CHUNKY NECKLACES

In the 2010s your local on a night out would be littered with women in leather look leggings, Topshop platform heels, a giant quiff in the front of your hair and layered chunky necklaces. 

Think X Factors Cher Lloyd in 2010. 

But that time is over now and fashion has moved on - as should you. 

But if you love a statement look around your neck then try gemstone necklaces, similar to legendary Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's signature look. 

Or just opt for smaller more delicate styles which can still be layered.
