Here are the 10 narrow-minded thoughts that are ruining your style.
10. You think actual menswear is just for men. Obviously, you’re not going to pick up a suit at Rochester Big and Tall, but you’d be surprised by how many made-for-men pieces can work for you.
9. You hate shopping, so you rely on the same old dinosaurs in your closet. Go ahead and stick to the same styles, but just give them small updates
8. You think you can only wear one bold color at a time. Wearing an emerald green silk blouse? Don’t be afraid to wear those fuchsia suede heels or carry that sunny yellow leather clutch—you’ll look super-modern.
7. You avoid horizontal stripes like the plague. Buying into the notion that all horizontal lines make you look wide is a cliché mistake.
6. You shop for Instagram. Are you buying that Balenciaga bag because you really, really love it, or because you want others to know you bought it?
5. You believe tall women shouldn’t wear heels. This mandate isn’t only silly, but a little sexist, too.
4. You think ‘dry clean only’ tags are always correct. If a garment says it needs to be dry-cleaned, it won’t hurt to follow suit, but that can get pricey—especially since some items technically don’t need to be professionally cleaned.
3. You wear retro pieces without a modern spin. Love the look of a wild ’80s neon sweater you found at the Salvation Army? Leave the leggings and sneakers at home and opt for a pair of super-sleek skinny jeans, natural hair and makeup, and a great pair of ankle boots.
2. You always buy the same size in clothes.. As any woman who’s shopped high-fashion and fast-fashion knows, sizing can vary tremendously according to store, brand, and item.
1. You believe white shouldn’t be worn after labor day. This is an antiquated rule that shouldn’t be followed.
Sometimes you need to break a couple of rules to find your true personal style. Don’t let your narrow-minded thoughts dictate your style. Be brave. Be bold. You will soon find a style that defines who you are.
