Blog 2 - Don't wear Black with Brown



Whilst browsing through the internet, I find a style guide: http://www.focusonstyle.com/fashionrules.htm and realise that such tips often neglect the current trends and designers currently on the runway.

• “Don’t wear tights with open-toed shoes.”

Peep-toed shoes being a key look for the current season, not wearing such a shoe would be a fashion faux-pas in itself. There’s a particularly great range of leopard print peep toes coming from Dolce and Gabbana as well as a gorgeous pair of ChloĆ© Horseshoe Platform shoes, which focusonstyle.com obviously neglected.

• “Don’t Mix Patterns and Print.”

Haven’t you ever heard of Pucci?

• “Handbags, Shoes and Belt should always match.”

I have decided, as long as I have the Marc Jacobs Plum Stam bag, I would give up all my shoes and all my belts. Actually, I’d give up everything.

So, in my opinion: wear black with brown, tights with peep toes and a green bag with purple shoes. Just make sure you do it with confidence.

In the words of Yves Saint Laurent, “Over the years I have learnt what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.”
