When it comes to fashion, there are a lot of rules that fashion gurus urge you to follow. But the best part about fashion is that is personal and you should break the rules and wear what makes you feel beautiful. We found a Reddit thread where women were sharing the fashion no-nos that they personally like and they follow religiously. Their answers are truly refreshing. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Fashion China Agency

1. “I like wearing baggy layers (especially long skirts and long jumpers) and looking like I’ve drowned myself in fabric. Though mostly, I’m too lazy and poor and just wear leggings and a shirt/jumper.” – Anonymous

Femina

2. “Harem pants. My friend who is fashionable commented on them by saying ‘You look… comfortable.’ LOL.” – josayeeee1

Harem Pants

3. “Repeating outfits. I have a large wardrobe but have about three fail-safe outfits I go to when everything else looks stupid on me. I don’t care if my friends have seen it before. My boyfriend doesn’t care. I look good and stylish and feel great. I don’t understand the taboo behind this.” – kitkatobuildadreamon

InStyle

4. “Monochromatic outfits! I think it’s fabulous to wear an outfit that’s all the same colour and still rock it.” – lc_syzygy

5. “I love to use boots all the year even when it’s too hot outside.” – lilywlk

Safestore

6. “I heard someone recently say that women over 30 shouldn’t wear short shorts or crop tops. I turned 30 this year and still wear everything I used to wear, including my crop tops and short shorts.” – invsblthnk8

7. “I like mixing black and navy blue.” – SkySympathy

10. “I love socks and sandals. My Birkenstocks are the most comfortable shoes I own, but sometimes my toes get cold.” – InnocenceMyBrother

11. “I prefer to wear boxers underneath skirts and dresses instead of panties because my OB-GYN told me that it’s better for the perineal microbiota of younger women.” – little_leese

12. “I love mixing silver and gold jewellery.” – TemporaryFarmer

Who What Wear

13. “Horizontal stripes. I love them. I’m ‘not the type that should be wearing them.’ Well, you can pry my horizontal stripes from my cold dead hands. They are my favourite ever. The thicker the stripes, the better. I am the Horizontal Stripe Queen.” – PineToot

Flexi

14. “I will wear sneakers with jeans. Not tennis shoes, actual trail runners or running shoes. I refuse to let clothing snobs stop me from wearing comfy shoes in casual settings. If someone makes judge-y comments, they’re just not my friend.” – Anonymous

15. “Combining patterns that might ‘clash.’ One of my go-to outfits is a striped shirt with houndstooth pants. I think it looks super cute, but I always get some sort of comment when I wear it.” – hakairuu

Lookastic

16. “A lot of people seem to not like flowy blouses at all with larger busts. I love them. They’re pretty versatile, IMO. I can always belt them at the bust to make a more fitted silhouette or wear them with tighter pants.” – lapisludgate

Fashion is all about breaking the rules set in stone and just having fun.
