  • Style Guide

    1 of 10

    While certain style rules should stay on the list (like not wearing socks with sandals), others are meant to be broken. Here are the top 9 clothing commandments, from not wearing white in winter to keeping your accessories color-coordinated, that we are giving you permission to break. If you don’t call the fashion police, neither will we!

  • Don’t wear white in winter

    2 of 10

    While Mom may disagree, “winter whites” (think creamy cords, ivory cashmere coats or even a gorgeous white gown) make this age-old rule a thing of the past.

  • Never wear navy and black together

    3 of 10

    This rule is a bit more complicated. For example, black shoes paired with navy socks ... not so much. But a chic navy dress accessorized with a black shawl, shoes or bag won’t alert the fashion police.

  • Don’t wear horizontal stripes if you want to look fit

    4 of 10

    The current craze for nautical stripes puts this unnecessary rule to bed. Paired with cropped jeans and ballet flats, this look is irresistible.

  • Always match your shoes to your bag

    5 of 10

    There is something to be said for not making your outfits too matchy-matchy, and this definitely applies to your shoes and bag. A neutral gray tote paired with black boots simply works.

  • Don’t mix prints and patterns

    6 of 10

    Plaid, stripes, polka dots and paisleys may be a bit too much, but usually a strategic and subtle combination of prints will be pretty and unexpected.

  • Never wear sparkle during the day

    7 of 10

    A little daytime glitter won't seem like too much if paired with subtle classics, such as a basic trench coat and heels.

  • It’s never OK to clash

    8 of 10

    Actually, we think that clashing can be smashing! Look for colors that are on the same end of the spectrum (like this rust-and-fuchsia combo) to make this look work.

  • Maxi dresses are summer dresses

    9 of 10

    Says who? Even a long, flowery dress should get some play in your winter wardrobe. When paired with boots, a blazer and a casually draped scarf, you've got a great boho-chic look.

  • Don’t mix black and brown

    10 of 10

    Similar to our directions for wearing navy and black, mix up a sleek head-to-toe black outfit by throwing on a rugged and cool brown leather jacket.
