FASHION MYTHS BUSTED


GUEST POST

The fashion industry tends to get a bad reputation, being labeled as frivolous, unnecessary and dangerous to the ‘inner beauty’ concept. There is also the idea that there are certain ‘rules’ that all fashionistas must hold sacred. But rules are meant to be broken. Here are 20 myths about how to be fashionable and the fashion industry in general that are simply not true.

1. You can’t mix patterns – While this is not wholly untrue, it depends on how you pair them. If you’re going to mix patterns, pick sober colors that don’t contrast. The trick is to make sure that the patterns are the only things that stand out.

2. Wearing white-on-white is the drabbest outfit you could think of – One word: ACCESSORIZE. Wear big chunky jewellery, or perhaps a pair of bright feather earrings. Wearing white is classy and simple and your accessories simply add a splash of color to an otherwise complete outfit. Make sure that, it you are wearing two white pieces together, they are of the same shade.

3. Navy blue and black just don’t go together – Everything matches with black! However, navy blue and black work better when you add another color to the mix. For example, pairing a blue blazer with a white shirt and black trousers. You could also opt for brighter, bolder blues such as cobalt and sky blue.
