4 Outdated Fashion Rules to Abandon in 2019

Fashion is a field of boundless creativity. That's why at each fashion week, many unique trends and styles emerge and are constantly being refreshed.

Despite the controversies, fashion houses skillfully create numerous trends that are incorporated into designs ranging from haute couture to ready-to-wear items.

Fashion trends or rules, ultimately, are created by humans. If they can be created, they can also be broken, as long as they are not too offensive or harmful to others.

Therefore, the following rules should probably be broken in 2019 because they are too outdated.

1. Absolutely do not combine black with navy blue.

In the fashion world, there's long been an unspoken rule that combining black and navy blue is "ridiculous." Why is that? These two colors are quite similar, and many believe that combining them will create a gloomy and dreary look.

Black and navy blue outfits are the simplest way to create an elegant style.

That's an outdated rule! Just look at the twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and you'll understand why that rule is ridiculous.

Navy blue and black is the simplest way to combine an outfit that is both elegant and sophisticated, suitable for many different occasions, from street fashion to formal parties. This combination is never overkill; the important thing is that the outfit suits your body type and the place you want to go.

2. Handbags and shoes should be the same color.

A black handbag paired with matching shoes can make you look more elegant in the eyes of others. Do you believe this? If so, I'm sorry to say you're outdated, monotonous, and even boring.

Why follow this outdated rule? This is why you'll blend in among thousands of stylish ladies. Have you ever felt that those ladies wearing Christian Louboutin red-soled shoes look incredibly glamorous? Do they ever use a matching handbag? Never!

In any outfit, there needs to be an impressive focal point, whether it's shoes or a handbag. Don't be too plain and boring.

Have you ever seen superstars carrying luxurious orange Hermes Birkin bags and wearing shoes of the same color? That's ridiculous. Change that habit; try combining fashion items without following any rules, and you'll stand out more than ever.

3. Silver jewelry and materials with a silver sheen look really old-fashioned.

You wear gold, silver jewelry, diamond earrings... who cares about that? What you need to focus on is looking sophisticated and elegant in the products you're wearing.

Silver jewelry pairs well with muted, neutral tones like beige, light brown, or masculine fabrics like leather and denim. It helps strike a balance between individuality and femininity.

Another rather silly rule is that many people think silver clothing looks heavy and tacky. Are you sure about that?

Rihanna is proof that wearing silver jewelry is still very fashionable.

Not everyone in the world has the ideal size and figure. Those with a slightly fuller figure are often hesitant to wear silver clothing, fearing it could be disastrous at events or under the flash of cameras.

Metallic and silver materials aren't as terrible as many people think.

But rest assured, if you're really obsessed with this style of clothing, try outfits that fit your body well – remember, they have to fit perfectly, not too tight or too loose.

4. Always wear high heels?

While high heels certainly make women look more attractive than ever, is it really necessary to wear them everywhere and at all times?

You can still shine when wearing flat shoes in the right way.

Leaving aside aesthetics, high heels are considered one of the most damaging things to one's health. Even Victoria Beckham has had to give up those towering heels at times due to concerns about the health of her feet and spine.

There are many better options than high heels. Mules, flats, or even sneakers are all excellent choices. If you're worried about looking unfashionable, take a look at supermodel Gigi Hadid above. She still wears flats and shines in her own way.
