Rule Breaking Fashionista


Still on rule breaking… Yeh! Happy to disobey your fashion command. Fashion is supposed to be fun, refreshing and expressive, not a bunch of commandment. We are going to play around some rules or rather customize some rules to our benefit.

Fashion rules are meant to be followed and taken seriously
As you can see, they’re not. Wear what makes you feel awesome!

Sneakers are only for the gym
Who did set this rule? Well, recently this rule has been proven wrong.  The right pair of sneakers can take you way beyond the gym. When rocked with great fit and styled with dressier pieces, sneakers can add a modern twist to just any clothing.

 You should always match your shoes, bag, and belt
Don’t those types of fashion rules feel wildly out of date these days? Its total a non-issue in this day and age. In fact, matching all your accessories perfectly can make you look out-dated and patronal, whereas mixing things up looks fresh and modern, and adds interest to an outfit.

Only wear one bold color at a time
If we've learned anything from the recent color-blocking phenom, it’s that a bold saturated hue can look even better when paired with another bold saturated hue.  Try a bold color with another bold or even bolder and I bet, you’ll look super-modern and striking.

Brown and black don’t mix
This has long been a fashion rule that’s made to be broken, as black and brown actually go together quite well.

High-waist pants are always unflattering
High-waist bottoms get a bad rap but when worn correctly, they can trick the eye into thinking you’re taller and leaner by elongating your lower body.

Fashion Rules Are Set for Men and Not Otherwise


Perhaps this year you’re looking to improve the way you dress? You've noticed over the last couple of years that the number of style conscious men has risen significantly and yeah! It’s called progression. When you first start out in men’s fashion and style, it can all be a bit too much to take in. Men’s fashion has seriously caught up with its female counterpart in the last decade.
How do you start?
Begin by understanding the fashion acceptable rules, embrace it, and then think of how to tweak around it. After all, men set rules, not rules set men.

Break the Rules


Red and pink Don’t go for men
Somewhere along the way, these two shades got a ‘No’ from the guys, but when paired purposefully; they can actually look quite modern and eye-catching. This is a great rule to tweak around. Keep the red true, and add any shade of pink.

Navy and black don’t go together
It’s time we break this rule.  Navy and black look super-chic together. Try pairing this combo, you will be amazed at what you have been missing.  It’s a rule worth breaking.

Mixed prints are too busy
False! Actually, mixed prints can look extremely fresh, and elevate your look from ordinary to street-style ready. 

Horizontal stripes make you look larger

Horizontal lines making you look wider is a pretty cliché “rule.” Pieces that are made well and fit well flatters every man.
