Want to wear pastels in winter? Mix blacks and navy? Throw all caution to the wind? Here’s how to break all the fashion rules…and get away with it! Women's clothing is tricky to wear ,but you can outsmart it.

Black and Brown DO go together – and don’t listen if anyone tells you otherwise. It’s the value of the brown that’s important, not the color. If you want to pair a brown with a black, mix in a neutral color. For instance, light colored jeans, a black blouse, and an awesome camel colored designer handbag, or a cocoa colored belt. Keep it simple, and make sure your non-blacks are light. It’s the contrast that makes it work.

Navy and Black – Another fashion ‘mistake’ that doesn’t have to be. Throw in some light blue with your navy and black. Bright teal accessories, or a royal blue scarf. This will tie in the palette, and everyone will know your look is intentional.

Spring in Winter – Pastels are totally acceptable for winter, provided you pay attention to the details. Winter pastels should be on the cooler side of the spectrum. They should be paler than spring pastels, too. A winter pink ought to be very light, and slightly more magenta than red.

Winter Florals – Don’t be afraid of Florals in winter, either! Deep jewel toned florals, or vivid primaries can really pop in a drab surrounding.

White after labor day – Okay, probably only your Grandmother will remind you of this rule, but if you insist on adhering to it, remember that Ivory, Bone, and Cream colors are not white, and anyway, you’re a big girl and you can do what you please.
