    Four Fashion Rules You Should Break

    Growing up we're told there are certain fashion "rules" we must obey. "Don't wear stripes with plaid." "No white after labor day." We blindly follow these edicts without questioning their validity, but in doing so we severely limit our sartorial options. Think of the number of perfectly good outfits you've left hanging in the back of your closet just because they fail to conform to one or more of these antiquated maxims. It's time to think outside the box, with our list of four fashion rules to break!

      Wearing Brown with Black

      The key here is choosing the right shade of brown. Go too dark, and people will assume you've matched black with "way more washed-out black." Chocolate brown can work, provided it's milk. Other favorites include a warm, dark beige, or a honeyed-camel. Here's one of our favorite looks you can buy.
