In the 'olden' days fashion connoisseurs advised against wearing white after Labor Day. Today however, winter white and other off-white colors are gradually gaining acceptance as a fall and winter fashion staple. Not wearing white after Labor Day is an outdated fashion trend. Curious about some other fashion trends that may be outdated? Here is a list of the top ten fashion myths people still wonder about today.
- Myth 1 - You can't wear sandals after Labor Day. Reality: This is just as outdated as not wearing white after Labor Day. You can wear sandals fashionably any time of year, as long as the weather is appropriate for them.
- Myth 2 - You should wear suede shoes in the fall and winter. Reality: Yes, suede shoes look good with most Fall and Winter fashions, but there is nothing stopping you from wearing a fine air of Nubuck shoes any time of year.
- Myth 3 - You have to cut your hair after 40 because middle age women shouldn't have long hair. Reality: This is just false. In fact, long hair can look great on older women, even making them look younger. Look at Demi Moore. Her hair is incredibly long and she looks great! You should always select a style you like because it looks good, not because someone tells you that you have to wear your hair a certain length.
- Myth 4 - You shouldn't wear black in the spring and summer. Reality: While bright summery colors are fun, black works well any time of year including spring and summer. There is no reason not to wear black any time you want if you think it looks good.
- Myth 5 - You should only wear diamonds in the evening. Reality: In times of old, it was considered a faus pax to wear diamonds during the day. This is not the case today, you can wear tasteful diamonds any way and any time you like!
- Myth 6 - You can't mix jewelry made from different colors of metal, like yellow and white gold. Reality: This is also ridiculous! You can mix any different colors you like as long as the combination is tasteful. You can even mix different metals like sterling silver, gold, platinum and more!
- Myth 7 - Wearing black at a wedding is bad luck or taboo. Reality: Today you can wear any color you like to a wedding. In fact, black is very appropriate for an evening wedding. The only color not encouraged during a wedding is white. You don't want to outshine the bride after all!
- Myth 8 - Your shoe color needs to match your outfit. Reality: You can actually find shoes in several complementary colors that will likely look better than a shoe in the exact same color as your outfit. Taupe and beige shoes for example go with almost any colors.
- Myth 9 - You can't wear nylons if you plan to wear open toed shoes. Reality: There are many very sheer nylons that actually look just fine with a pair of open-toed shoes. While many women prefer going without nylons, if you do want to wear them you certainly can!
- Myth 10 - You can only wear velvet during fall and winter months. Reality: Today you can wear velvet any time of year. Velvet is more often seen in the fall and winter because it is a warmer fabric. However when worn during a formal occasion, velvet works well ay time of the year.
There you have it, your top ten fashion myths uncovered. When it comes to fashion, it is more important that you look and feel good than you follow the rules of fashion 'etiquette.' Unless you are a celebrity or other public figure, most people would not dare comment on your outfit anyway, except to tell you how great you look. To say anything else would be extremely disrespectful and indicative of poor judgment.
