Fashion rules are really strange. Someone decided a time ago that you cannot wear white after Labor Day. People have been following this rule for a hundred years without asking why. The thing about fashion mistakes is that half of them are not really mistakes anymore. They are old rules that nobody bothered to question.

These rules made sense a time ago. They were about the kind of fabric how to wash clothes or about status.. Now they just make people doubt their outfits.

Matching Your Metals Is Not Necessary Anymore

For a time stylists said that gold and silver jewelry should not be worn together. This was because mixed metals looked like a mistake.. Now people think it is okay to mix metals. It looks like you did it on purpose. The only time it is still a problem is when you wear formal jewelry.

The Rule About Wearing White After Labor Day

This rule started in America a time ago. White clothes meant you were on summer vacation. Darker clothes meant you were back in the city and working. It was not about how the clothes looked. About showing your social status. There is nothing with wearing white in October or November. It is about the kind of fabric and how heavy it is. A white wool coat in January looks great.

Sizing Your Clothes By the Number On the Tag

This causes a lot of problems. Different brands have sizes. In the same brand different clothes have different sizes. There is no size. So if you buy clothes because of the number on the tag they might not fit. You should try the clothes on of looking at the tag.

Buying Into Every New Trend

Not every trend is worth buying. If you buy something just because it is popular you might regret it. Trends do not last long. They are like a wave that comes and goes. If you want to buy something think about if you will still wear it next year.

Ignoring How Your Clothes Fit

If your clothes do not fit they will not look good. It does not matter if they are expensive or from a brand. If they are too big or too small they will look bad. You should spend some money on making your clothes fit. This will make them look better than if you just bought clothes.

Dressing For the Wrong Place

If you dress for the place you will look out of place. You need to know what to wear for places. If you are going to an event you should dress formally. If you are going to an event you can dress casually. You should ask someone what to wear or look at pictures from the event.

There is no one rule for fashion. Most fashion mistakes happen because we follow rules or do not check if our clothes fit. We should pay attention to what looks good on us of following old rules.
