Fashion Rules We’re Officially Ignoring

By Makayla Gill

Fashion loves rules. Fashion also loves breaking them. Usually five minutes after telling us not to. So we’re cutting out the middleman. These are the so called “rules” we’re officially ignoring, because personal style was never meant to come with disclaimers.

Once treated like a fashion crime, navy and black are now giving quiet luxury, not confusion. The key is intention. Sharp tailoring, clean lines, or an outfit that looks like you meant to do it, because you did. Navy and black don’t clash, they mind their business and look expensive doing it.

You Can’t Wear Navy and Black Together

You Should Never Mix Metals

Matching everything is overrated. Mixing metals adds texture, personality, and a little unpredictability. Which is the point. Gold with silver, silver with chrome, old with new. The result feels lived-in, styled, and slightly rebellious in the best way.

This rule is tired. Your body is not a styling limitation, it’s the starting point. Dressing well has nothing to do with hiding, shrinking, or “earning” certain silhouettes. Wear the thing because you like it. Wear it because it makes you feel hot, comfortable, or interesting. That’s enough.

Your Size Should Dictate What You Wear

Fashion has always borrowed, blended, and blurred lines. The most memorable looks come from dressing outside expectations, not inside them. Clothes don’t have a gender, style has intention. Wear what feels right, what feels expressive, what feels like you.

Wear the navy with the black. Mix the metals. Ignore the number. Dress how you want.
