There are colours that ‘shouldn’t go together’, apparently. It’s one of those fashion rules. We’ve all heard a lot of fashion rules throughout our lives.
– Blue and green should never be seen
– Don’t wear navy and black
– Ankle length skirts make you look frumpy
– Socks don’t go with sandals
– Pear (and Skittle) body shapes shouldn’t wear skinny jeans
– Shoulder pads are ugly
– Big belts aren’t fashionable
The thing about most fashion rules is that they change according to what is on trend…
If you can look impartially at a fashion rule and conclude that it is only so because it defines what is or isn’t on trend, why does it need to be kept? Fashion is such a diverse thing. Does it matter what is on the catwalk or on the street if you think you look good? I am currently digging the combination of red and pink. This is something I would usually cringe over, but the more I see the two colours together, the more I like it. I don’t think this makes me innovative; I have seen it around done by other people. I feel a little adventurous, though.
