13 Style Rules We’ve Learned to Follow But Experts Consider Outdated

Have you ever noticed how certain fashion “rules” seem to have been passed down from mothers to daughters, even if they no longer make as much sense? Since childhood, we are taught certain “laws” such as: “glitter can only be used at night” and “you don’t wear a black dress to weddings”. Even if they are still in the imagination of most women, rules like these are out of fashion — and we are here to prove it.

O awesome.club suggests that you set aside certain “doctrines” of fashion and dress how you feel better! Therefore, our team has separated a list of 13 style “rules” that should be forgotten, according to experts in the field. Check out!

Back in the day, dress rules in the corporate world were stricter. Currently, issues such as feminism and the importance of assuming one’s own identity have gained so much weight that the employee no longer necessarily needs to dress according to the company’s identity.

According to fashion consultant Gloria Kalil, what’s in fashion is power, that’s right, express your personality in the work environment — even if it is in the details, accessories or footwear.

Short girls often hear that they shouldn’t wear long skirts, as they “flatten” the body, but youtuber and image consultant Carol Morgana guarantees that this rule has nothing to do with it! Long pieces can even lengthen the silhouette visually — especially if the skirt is high-waisted. Oh! And the same goes for long dresses.

Have you ever worn pants with a belt loop, without a belt, and had that feeling that “something is missing”? This thought is quite common, as it is a fashion myth. The secret is not to call and fearlessly wear pants with belt loops. without belt.

Fashion journalist Camila Gaio recalls that the trouser belt is just an element that provides support in case the owner wants to wear a belt. But the accessory is not mandatory. It doesn’t make much sense to add one more fashion item to the look just to cover the hole in the passer, do you agree?

It is possible that you have already heard that mothers should dress discreetly, with low tones and without showing “too much skin”. Even the aforementioned Camila Gaio recalls that when advertisements want to represent a “mother”, it is very likely that this woman is wearing a look basic style, white t-shirt and jeans.

But you can bet that this is a “rule” from the past and a living proof of this is the presenter (and mother) Sabrina Sato. The muse loves to dare in the look and even combines certain pieces with her little daughter, Zoe.

You looks jeans worn in 2001 by then-couple Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears have become iconic. But this trend actually takes us back to the 1970s. After spending some time out of fashion, the denim-jeans combo it’s more than released these days and influencer Kim Kardashian loves this style.

Are there still those who think that different metals cannot be mixed? If fashion’s biggest influencers combine silver with gold and copper, why shouldn’t we wear metals in the same way? THE personal stylist Karol Stahr says that it is much more “dangerous” to mix accessories from different materials than metals.

We want to know who invented that only very thin women can wear skin-tight clothes. Just look at the social networks of celebrities who value their curves to prove that this rule went down the drain a long time ago. And still good!

As journalist and fashion consultant Lilian Pacce says, “Your body, your rules”🇧🇷 The important thing is to feel beautiful and powerful, without caring about what others might think.

Saying that women must necessarily match the colors of their shoes, purses and belts is an outdated idea. According to the aforementioned personal stylist Karol Stahr, the “rule” is as follows: combine if you want and stop combining when you want.

“It has to do with your personal style. Generally, women with a more classic style end up liking to combine more (…) and there is no problem with that. On the other hand, more modern and creative women tend to like to ‘mis-match’ shoes, bags and belts. And both things are correct”, guarantees the specialist.

Glitter can only be used at night? We are going to reproduce the expression used by Lilian Pacce on the subject: “Imagine!” The truth is that this “rule” was outdated a long time ago and, today, pieces with sequins and stones can even be used for work (if there is this opening in the work environment, of course).

According to style and etiquette guru Glória Kalil, the black dress it’s more than released for wedding guests. She even says that the model is almost a “uniform” for this type of ceremony. But the expert points out that looks blacks should not go up to the altar, as the color refers to “mourning” — therefore, bridesmaids should opt for another color for the big day.

O look all white has been quite “rejected” by women, as it is often associated with the health area. Image and style consultant Carol Morgana says that it is necessary to put that thought aside and guarantees that it is possible to create looks extremely stylish wearing only this color (singer Rihanna is there to prove it). Therefore, don’t be afraid to use clear pieces from head to toe.

There are those who say that we cannot combine black with brown or navy blue. And what we love about influencer Olivia Palermo is that she’s not afraid to mix brown, black and navy blue in one look🇧🇷 The result, as can be seen, was stripped and elegant at the same time, do you agree?

Of course, boots are more associated with winter, but footwear should not be excluded from the closet of those who live in warmer cities or regions. The aforementioned Carol Morgana says that when boots are worn together with short pieces, the look can gain an even more modern air or boho🇧🇷 We need to agree!
