Fashion used to be much stricter and breaking certain "rules" was heresy. Fortunately, things are completely different today. And breaking fashion rules has become commonplace. As a result we have phenomenal creations...

1. Before leaving the house, remove the last thing you put on

It's time to forget about this mantra of the last century and take a closer look at the latest shows from the last fashion weeks. Chanel, Gucci, Balmain - try to imagine these collections without an impressive range of fashion accessories.

Chokers, brooches, unusual hats, large shoulder bags complete with waist bags - all these today only indicate that the time for this rule has passed.

2. Red and pink is not a good idea

This color combination used to have a pretty bad reputation in the fashion world. Some consider it too vulgar, while others firmly believe that only fashion-conscious people can take the risk and wear both colors at the same time. Don't listen to them.

In fact, everything is completely different: the combination of these colors today looks fresh and original. You're guaranteed to get a lot of attention (is that a bad thing?) if you pair red and pink just right. Plus - remember that both colors have a huge range of shades - feel free to experiment, it says Beauty and health.

3. Navy blue and black is a mistake

Completely ignore the rule that blue and black don't match. The reality is that this is one of the most flattering color combinations. The mix of dark blue and black is chic and a great combination for a night out.

For the first time, the aforementioned combination appeared massively in the collections of Miu Miu, Gucci and Prabal Gurung for the autumn-winter season 2012. Many people liked the new color combination very much, which became a real example of high fashion that hit the streets.

4. Do not mix different patterns

Another fashion rule that has gone into oblivion. Combined patterns as a unique trend look incredibly cool. Combine clothes with different patterns and you will look like a street fashion icon from Milan Fashion Week.

Professionals know how to combine complex prints, and beginners should start with something simpler, for example, mixing animal prints or simply combining a zebra pattern with a floral bag.

5. Red lipstick should not be worn during the day - it is reserved for the evening

For a long time, the rule was that red lipstick should only be worn at night. Fortunately, that rule is also gone.

There is nothing wrong with wearing a beautiful red lipstick during the day. However, do not forget the golden rule: choose one thing - highlight either the lips or the study. Keep the remaining makeup as natural as possible.
