Fashion Rules You Should Follow

Running shoes don’t go with jeans. Running shoes and jeans are a don’t! Some people still don’t get that athletic shoes aren’t a substitute for all-purpose casual shoes. With cute shoes like boots, ballet flats, and even casual converse sneakers at your disposal, there’s just no excuse to rock athletic shoes with jeans. Running shoes are only appropriate at two times: when you’re at the gym and when you’re going for a run. Wearing them at any other time just looks awful and inappropriate. Add in some jeans, and it’s a true fashion disaster. Don’t let this happen to you!

Pajamas should never be seen in public. It’s such a bad choice as far as clothing goes, and really shows that you don’t care at all about how you look. Pajamas are great for lounging and sleeping, and not appropriate for anything else.

Never wear “double denim.” A nice pair of jeans can go with almost anything. The one thing they don’t go with? A denim jacket. (Or denim top, or denim hat.) Denim on denim is never a good idea. Assuming you aren’t a cowgirl and don’t work at a rodeo, there’s just no reason to wear an all-jean outfit in public. It looks tacky and costume-y, and isn’t modern in the least. That’s just the way it goes – it’s too much and looks bad. Jeans are fabulous, and so are denim jackets. They just don’t work when you wear them together. You have to pick: either the jeans or the jean jacket, but not both.

You shouldn’t be able to see your underwear through your clothes. Panty lines and see-through shirts are still fashion don’ts, and I don’t see this changing any time soon. Panty lines are one of the worst fashion crimes out there, and it’s shocking to see women who still have them. What woman today doesn’t own a thong? If your pants are tight or light-colored at all, you need to be wearing a thong to avoid ugly panty lines. If you don’t like thongs, either get different pants, find seamless boy shorts, or get over your fear! They’re way more comfy than they look, if you buy the right brand. See-through shirts with brightly colored bras are just as bad. While the combo might look great on the runways, it usually doesn’t work for everyday life. If you’re wearing a white shirt, make sure to wear a nude bra underneath. Not leopard, and not neon purple. There are some things a woman just needs to keep to herself!

Never wear white to someone else’s wedding. This is one old-fashioned fashion rule that definitely still applies today. When you wear white to someone else’s wedding, you’re basically upstaging the bride on her special day. Even if you look fabulous in white or if the bride isn’t wearing white, you still shouldn’t wear a white outfit to a wedding that isn’t yours. It’s just about respect and being a good guest. Remember this rule and don’t break it.

If you don’t feel comfortable in it, don’t wear it. If you don’t follow any of the other rules, please follow this one. This is part of my older post . No matter the occasion, if you aren’t feeling an outfit or piece of clothing, don’t wear it. The purpose of fashion is to make you look and feel great. If you’re wearing something you hate, it’s going to show all over your face. Your confidence will be lower than normal, and you’ll be constantly focused on your outfit instead of having a great time. This rule also applies to trends. No matter how much you loved a top you saw if you try it on and hate it on you, don’t get it. All trends aren’t right for all people, and you should never feel bad skipping out on the latest fad if it doesn’t flatter you.
