Fashion Rules You Should Break

in #fashion7 years ago

Our parents have given us some great fashion wisdom over the year. Like, don’t mix denim, wear what makes you feel comfortable, dress for a season, and never let your underwear peep through your clothes. Mmm… and always wear underwear. These rules are seemingly timeless, and I’ve continued to follow most of them as an adult person, oh…unless I’ve skipped laundry day.

With style like high-waisted skirts or trousers, spandex pants and adult onesies making back, and it’s to hard to keep being on a trend. So, let’s upgrade some of them or complete eliminations.

Rule #1. Match Your Shoes Bags and Purses

Ohh…. Come on! So boring, there are so many wonderful colours and patterns out there that matching each other beautifully. Matching too much just a bad – if not worse, than not matching at all. Matching handbags, purses precisely with shoes used to be sign of someone who took a lot of care with their appearance, but now it isn’t considered necessary and can even look a bit dated.

Rule #2. Never mix metals

Different people have their own taste when it comes to wearing metal jewellery. Those this olive skin tones like the warmth of yellow gold, while other prefer the coolness of white gold or silver. But there is no reason to mix them. As we\ve seen on the countless bloggers, street style stars and celebrities blending metals when it comes to jewellery can look fresh and very nice. Is there any tricks? …. The easiest way to do it is to up your arm-swag game by stacking brackets in varying of silver and gold shades. Don’t be afraid to mix and make your own.

Rule #3. Black, brown and navy – fashion death

This rule also ignores a whole world of interesting and appealing color and texture combinations. All three of these are neutrals, so they pretty much go with anything. As with any outfit decision, use personal discretion and creativity. This fashion rule still has its fair share of subscribers, but let us make it clear: Navy and black look super-chic together. The combo first started making waves during the Fall 2012 collections, as scores of designers including Carolina Herrera, Miu Miu, Gucci, Prabal Gurung and Céline incorporated black and navy into runway looks,while It-gals like Alexa Chung, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were quick to team up the hues. Even if it’s only adding a pair of opaque black tights to a navy blue dress, it’s a rule worth breaking.

Rule #4. Stay on your side of the store

Some of my favorite fashion pieces have come from the men’s department. The plain wife-beater, the over-sized shirt that hugs my thighs, the fedora, and many more great finds require you to step outside women’s wear. Raid your boyfriend’s closet regularly to see if there’s anything cool in there and take a lesson from the guys—there is nothingsexier than a woman wearing a man’s shirt (especially if you’re the man!).

Rule #5. Don’t wear socks and sandals

This is probably one of the biggest fashion rules out there, but lately it’s being broken left and right by the style set, who rock socks and sandals with everything from jeans to swingy skirts. Sandals and tights also work!

Rule #6. Denim on denim is a fashion faux pas

Also known as a Canadian tuxedo, the easiest trick to rocking double denim without looking like you got lost on the way to the cattle ranch: Pair pieces of varying washes together, such as a light denim shirt with dark denim jeans, or a dark denim jacket with a light-wash pair of denim shorts.

Rule #7. Tall women shouldn’t wear heels

This mandate isn’t only silly, but a little sexist, too. Stemming from a whole bunch of antiquated notions including abundant height isn’t feminine, and a woman shouldn’t draw extra attention to herself, this rule is one no woman should ever follow if they don’t want to. We know plenty of women who are almost six feet tall and still rock three-inch heels with grace (and we’re jealous.)

Rule #8. Fashion rules are meant to be followed and taken seriously

As you can see they are not. Hope that you will hear only yourself and wear what makes you wonder!!!
