In the world of fashion there are many unwritten rules of what women and men should or should not wear. Although there are occasions that require a dress code, times have changed and fashion should not be a barrier to expressing a personal style, quite the contrary. Taking advantage of the arrival of the new decade, we wanted to collect 20 fashion rules that are things of the past. Do you dare to break them? 1. Do not mix patterns We are at a time in fashion where anything goes. Animal print with polka dots or flowers with stripes? The answer is yes. The key is to play with the proportions.

2. Red and pink do not combine. They do combine and fit into the “color blocking” trend, which consists of mixing two complementary and/or opposite colors. 3. Denim does not go with denim The key is to play with different tones or textures. A totally denim look is completely valid. The recommendation is to take into account the occasion. 4. Gold jewelry vs. silver jewelry The same thing happened with gold and silver and over time they have shown us that mixed they look great. There are even collections from the most prestigious jewelry firms that mix different metals. 5. Embroidery, crochet and macrame are granny What was once seen as old-fashioned and boring today is one of the most popular trends. Just look at the designs of Colombian and Latin American brands that seek to recover these ancient techniques in a very chic way. 6. White is only for the beach, daytime and summer The only certainty is that this color looks good at all times, in all clothes and on all occasions. Even on winter days. 7. Sequins only for the night False! The touch of brightness in the day is allowed.

8. Do not repeat clothes There is more than one reason to do it. Many famous women have broken the taboo of repeating outfits. If you like the garment and it works for different occasions, use it as many times as you want. 9. You have to combine the bag with the shoes and the belt One thing is to combine them and another is that they are coordinated. Nowadays the more different they are, the better. 10. Women of short stature should not wear long skirts In fashion everything is a matter of proportions and of course short women can wear this type of garment. If this is the case for you, wear it at the length that feels most comfortable.

Mitos y verdades a la hora de vestirse

11. Only wear flowers in spring For many years, certain patterns or colors were associated with a season. Nowadays they are all successful at any time of the year. 12. Do not mix black and blue It is another of the rules that remained in the past. And the same goes for black and brown. They are combinations as simple as elegant. 13. Women of large sizes should not wear tight clothes One more myth that must be disproved. Plus-size women love tight clothing and curves are there to show them off. 14. Neither animal print nor horizontal stripes You do not have to dress to hide. Being plus size doesn't mean wearing boring clothes. 15. Jeans should be washed with the same frequency as other clothes . Several studies have been published in this regard in recent years. Some say that they should be washed after five or six poses. Others claim that they should never be washed. The trend is to use an antibacterial spray to keep them odor free between washes.

16. Do not wear clothes that are not of your gender Today fashion offers countless possibilities to dress without labels. 17. To look formal you have to wear a tie Not necessarily. Suits can be worn without a tie and do not lose their formality for that. A plus is that male accessories such as scarves or bow ties are becoming more and more popular. 18. Wearing maternity clothes during pregnancy? Fashion has to be functional and two phenomena are happening. On the one hand, brands offer garments such as kimonos or loose dresses that can be used by pregnant women. On the other, maternity brands are designing garments that women can continue to wear after pregnancy. 19. Dresses in cold weather are worn with veiled stockings It is one of the most controversial myths. However, not necessarily. This is one of those rules that is broken depending on the occasion. Although the fashion of bare legs is very common, there are those who feel more comfortable and confident with this type of stockings. 20. Tennis with dresses and suits And in case you didn't know, tennis shoes look good with everything. By Camila Villamil Navarro@camilavillamiln
