Learn about these fashion myths you must leave behind

Learn about these fashion myths you must leave behind.Fashion evolves, and its rules and regulations do too. There were very strict modalities in the past of wearing clothes, colors, accessories, and makeup, among other things. This really complicated our lives if we didn’t have that belt of the same color as the shoes and bag to match.

 

That perfect and exact harmonization of clothes and accessories and not wearing certain things, textures, and tones together is behind us and for the great benefit of everyone. Since today the combinations are much more flexible and friendly. This means we don’t have to spend much to achieve the perfect military regime looks.

 

But what has changed in the fashion world regarding how to wear and combine clothes and accessories? You may think that specific rules still apply today. For this reason, we want to talk to you about those fashion myths that, at one point, were true to the letter but are long gone today.

 

14 fashion myths that are not it anymore

 

Combine your bag with the shoes and belt

 

In the past, we had to carry matching bags, shoes, and belts. And by matching, we mean that they should be of the same color, and if they were of the same texture and tone, much better. For example, wearing dark brown shoes with camel belts was not good back then. So, everything had to have exact harmony and uniformity.

 

Now, wearing accessories this way can even be seen as a sign of boredom and a lack of creativity. The color and the striking mixtures are the ones that dictate the pattern when dressing. Now what is most sought is to create contrasts. So don’t be afraid to wear shoes of one color with a bag of a totally different one.

 

Identical Manicure & Pedicure

 

Very similar to the previous example, but applied to the enamel of the hands and feet, we are presented with this case, where both colors had to be the same as the ones used to the opposite. Currently, many continue to apply this formula.

 

However, we tell you that it is no longer a limitation. Especially with today’s great imagination and creativity regarding nail designs. Which range from the classic to the most eccentric and striking.

 

Therefore, wearing the same color on both hands and feet is no longer mandatory. The imagination is the limit.

 

Sequins only at night

 

Certainly, sequins were reserved for formal and evening occasions. Thanks to their bling, they were considered very striking and elegant garments. But like many things, they also stopped being exclusive to a formal party.

 

We can find sequins of various types, sizes, and brightness intensity. So, we can choose an opaque garment and wear it with basics such as jeans, pants in neutral colors, blazers, jackets, and other more casual styles, which will look great during the day.

 

Dress in your size and with fitted clothes

 

Unless you like tight clothing and slim-fit cuts, wearing all your clothes this way is optional. Today more than ever, the oversized style is the dominant one.

 

So, if you are a more loose and comfortable person, you are at the right time.

 

Because although oversized garments are not new and have been with us since the 90s, today, they are all the rage and one of the most used styles.

 

Joggers and leggings just to work out

 

And as we know, the jogger is a casual garment that can be worn for outings and with which you can even put together elegant-style outfits with the right accessories and pieces, and the same goes for leggings. So, this myth was banished long ago.

 

 

 

 

 

Prints go exclusively with neutral or solid colors

 

That rule that prints should only go with neutral colors or plain garments does not exist, so erase it from your memory when dressing. The double pattern made its way, giving us elegant and sophisticated looks.

 

Of course, wearing a double pattern implies following specific guidelines, but nothing that you cannot do easily.

 

The important thing is that you know or stop being afraid of wearing stripes with polka dots or paintings with flowers. Because believe us, you will look successful and modern.

 

Wearing dresses only with heels

 

Nothing further from reality. Today we even wear our dresses elegantly, with tennis shoes or another type of footwear that is comfortable. And this way, we create a sporty chic look, very on-trend today.

 

Do not combine black with navy blue

 

This mix was one of the most rejected before because each was dark and very similar. And consequently, neither stood out nor was there a contrast. But, at the same time, both are neutral colors and, therefore, they can be combined with any color. For greater success, look for each garment to have different textures; thus, the difference can be noticed. You will manage to see yourself sober but elegant.

 

The blazer is an executive or formal garment

 

Many reserved using the blazer to go to the office and look executive or for formal occasions.

 

But today, the blazer, in the case of the oversized model, is a street-style garment, so it is far from a formality.

 

In the same way, it is taken for casual and semi-formal outings.

 

Makeup combined with clothes

 

Very similar to the rule that the bag, shoes, and belt must be the same color.

 

In the case of makeup, this was done according to the color of our clothes.

 

However, it is already an obsolete rule, and the trend is to apply neutral makeup that combines with everything.

 

And if we have to change clothes on the same day, our makeup remains and continues to be useful.

 

Sneakers are only for sports

 

It is evident that nowadays, tennis or sneakers are no longer exclusive to any sporting activity. So much so that the brands have dedicated themselves to making models of casual sports shoes to be used daily, without these being suitable for exercising.

 

You can attend formal events with them. Even many workplaces accept this shoe in their dress code.

 

Therefore, you can wear shoes, a shirt, a blazer, a vest, and sneakers. Of course, unless, in your workplace, casual business is not accepted.

 

The black color stylizes and slims

 

And it is not that this is no longer in force. Of course, it is, but this effect is not exclusive to the color black. Therefore, we can achieve visual definition and slim by using other colors and wearing garments that favor our figure without needing them to be completely black.

 

Boots only for winter

 

And no, it is not that you will stop wearing boots in winter, but you can also wear them in spring and summer. Since it is an extremely versatile shoe that can be used throughout the year. The same happens with sandals, you can wear them in autumn and winter, as long as the temperature allows it and you wear appropriate clothing to balance.

 

Do not combine silver and gold together

 

Another significant advance and radical change in fashion has been this, without a doubt. Let’s remember that if we used golden earrings, the rest of our accessories had to be the same color. And the same applied to the color silver, and wearing both together was a huge mistake.

 

Luckily, nowadays, we can wear both colors together and still look very good and sophisticated. Even jewelry and accessory brands launch collections in mixed colors.

 

If you feel insecure, take them on a smaller scale, with a couple of fine chains, rings, or bracelets, until you end up combining even items of clothing like an expert.

 

Now that you know the most relevant myths in the fashion world, you can feel much more confident when dressing and combining, without fear of making mistakes by ignoring any rules. Your imagination, today, is essential to feel safe when choosing your clothes.
