This goes for even the most widely accepted fashion tenets. Don't be afraid to break away from the pack and assert your individuality from time to time. Below are some fashion rules you might consider breaking on occasion, for starters.
Never wear clashing colors: Many people believe that there are certain colors that clash, and others that naturally belong together. This isn't necessarily the case. There are degrees of clashing, and you can play with them.
Now some colors look terrible together, this is the far end of the color clashing spectrum. Other colors match up and blend beautifully. In between these two extremes, there are many possible combinations. Staying in the safe zone of matching is not how to make your fashion mark. Most stylish dressers are found right up near the far end of outright clashing, but not quite at the extreme end.
Save bright jewelry for evening: Why? Are your more striking pieces somehow sun-sensitive? Why not wear them in the daytime, and get the full effect of their splendor?
It's not something you want to do all the time, but occasionally breaking out the 'evening jewelry' for daytime wear is an easy way to add a stylish twist to an outfit.
Wear strong makeup on eyes or lips but not both: This is common wisdom among makeup mavens. Supposedly one should pick either the eyes or the lips to play up. The other feature should be understated. But, why not break this rule sometimes?
Add color to both lips and eyes, but use a lighter hand and make sure the colors you choose fall into the same color group.
