For some reason, some myths about fashion are still believed even by people who refer to themselves as style gurus. However, they too often forget that fashion is just a game and self-expression rather than strict set of instructions. So – the only valid rule that can be related to fashion is not to be a slave to dictates and always find your own, personal sense of style.<\/p>\n

So, today, let\u2019s bust six horribly ancient and stupid myths about fashion nobody should believe anymore!<\/p>\n

Myth 1. Different patterns are inappropriate and don\u2019t look good together.\u00a0<\/strong>Both\u00a0best\u00a0street style examples and designer collections have long been trying to deny this myth with their practice. But your auntie still starts pointing fingers, that you can\u2019t combine stripes and polka dots? You can! Even zebra prints and squares can be combined \u2013 all what is important in this case is the harmony. Don\u2019t be afraid to experiment and you will succeed by not only matching outfits which might not look good initially but also find your personal style.<\/p>\n

Myth 2. Handbags and footwear \u2013 only in the same color.\u00a0<\/strong>Or vice versa – only strictly matching colors. Both of these philosophies have supporters, but the main ideas here is pretty the same \u2013 matching is a tendency worth following.<\/p>\n

However, bags and shoes of the same color usually indicate a lack of imagination and courage, so perfect matches should be avoided. It is much easier to choose the accessories with the\u00a0principle of contrast<\/a>. Another option – play with shades. This also can make your outfit look more interesting than just wearing black crocodile leather shoes with the same texture black handbag.<\/p>\n

Myth 3. Silver and gold cannot be together.\u00a0<\/strong>It should be! Speaking of clothes, and regarding accessories and, of course, concerning jewelry \u2013 gold and silver is a match made in heaven. Try to prove this with a small experiment – for example, put a massive silver ring plus silver and gold bracelets on the wrist. Or try to see how the silvery scaled skirt fits perfectly with a golden hand purse (and it fit well \u2013 you will see)!<\/p>\n

Myth 4. Expensive – hence, stylish.\u00a0<\/strong>It has long been the dominant trend not to buy fashion houses’ showcases, but to coordinate, harmonize and align costly and cheap items. “Birkin\u201d handbag, \u201cChanel\u201d flats and \u201cHerve Leger\u201d dress all at the same time is nor stylish nor trendy. Right now, all \u201cunlabeled\u201d clothing becomes more and more valuable and showing off designer made expensive clothing is not considered being stylish at all.\"unlabeled-clothing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, we are not telling that such clothing is bad or tacky \u2013 no, they are indeed beautiful and high-quality, but you must not lose your head and wear\u00a0everything\u00a0or\u00a0head to toe from Gucci. Include other, smaller designers and create a unique look! And that shouldn\u2019t be expensive at all \u2013 in fact, these\u00a0Bloomingdale\u2019s coupons<\/strong>\u00a0only prove my point in here. So, don\u2019t blindly buy expensive clothing just because you think they will instantly make you look good. It is not the price tag that creates style \u2013 it is your skills!<\/p>\n

Myth 5. One look – only three colors.\u00a0<\/strong>Nobody knows where it came from, and why! For example, occasionally in various fashion magazines or books, a number three\u00a0appears magically. But why not four or two? If it is not explained \u2013 it is not the truth!<\/p>\n

However, if you think that red, green, blue and orange are hard to control, follow a simple principle – one bright colored item and two, three, or as much as you want \u2013 neutral colored pieces. Just look at the masters\u2019 paintings or works of nature – they will tell you more about color matching than all stylists collectively.<\/p>\n

Myth 6. Little black dress \u2013 is a panacea for all.\u00a0<\/strong>Also — pearly necklace, high heel boots, and classic beige trench coat. Lists of “all must have” are so universal and so perfectly suitable for every size and shape\u00a0that it does not take any attention to your individuality.<\/p>\n

So it is safe to change boots to converses or even sneakers, and vintage coat to a simple or youthful parka. Why not \u2013 it is not those abstract lists makers who are going to choose what you are going to wear every morning. It is you, and in this case, your style sense is the most important!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
