Fashion Myths Busted! (Part 2)

To continue on with fashion myths:

#5 Do not wear white after Labor Day

*The truth is white is classy no matter what time of year. When picking out an outfit you do not go to the calendar and make sure it is ok to wear white because it is not past Labor Day. The trick to this myth is to make it seasonally appropriate. If you are considering wearing a white dress in winter for example, making sure it is long sleeved and where closed toed shoes. Just like Diane Kruger did in the middle of winter to the Boren awards.

#6 Never wear denim with denim

*Putting denim with another pair of denim is tricky because putting the wrong two together you could end up looking cheesy. When putting two denims together remember to pair two different shades of denim. A good look for this would either be wearing skinny white jeans with a light-wash belted jacket like Rihanna or simply wearing a faded collared top tucked into high-waisted jeans and some peep-toed wedges will also do the trick.

#7 Save the sequins for dark

*If you love sequins or shiny fabrics, go ahead and wear them during the day too instead of having to wait until nightfall. The sun will catch the shimmer and catch peoples eye. Remember when wearing shiny fabrics to keep it simple. For example try a sparkling mini with an oxford shirt.

#8 Avoid clashing colors

*Sometimes if a good color combination that clashes, it can make a huge statement. A good example would be Reese Witherspoon when she wore a hot pink and red with matching red sandals.
