OLD STYLING RULES YOU CAN BREAK!!
My Black with Brown Look:
Makeup:

[cehand]

I love brown/black and navy/black. I’m still working my way up to denim on denim. The socks w/sandals thing….that’s gonna be a minute.

[sanvo]

I wear navy with black for ages and irritate others with it 😂 I love it! My basic colours are dark in general so dark blue (and dark grey) break the all in black look a bit without going to colourful. To me the perfect capsule. No fashion rules at all except good quality ❤

I wear black with brown all the time and it’s one of my favorite looks. As for denim with denim, well duh I’ve always done that and when I read you shouldn’t, I just ignored it. Great video!

I have the problem of losing stuff when I switch handbags….probably why I have so many Burt’s Bee lip balm in rhubarb. I always check all pockets before donating any handbags, jackets, etc….finally found those Ray Bans I miss placed years ago. Still classic and not too scratched.

Much as I resist wearing socks with sandals there is no denying how comfortable the combo is. For me, it is like many other things, a matter of which socks work with which sandals.
I also love colour and print and my latest obsession has been about combining prints in my wardrobe in ways I wouldn't have a few years ago. Also love navy with black - French friends have been doing it for years. Similarly, cream with white - love it!!

I love pattern on pattern. It's my ultimate look.

Have recently got into animal print and tartan, two bold choices that are so much fun to wear together. ❤

I was so happy last year when you said mixing brown and black was okay. I always felt it was because I’ve always gone against the grain, but felt it was a a fashion faux pas. I live in a warmer state so we’ve always worn white after Labor Day, hearing your expertise on these makes me more at ease when I go for it! Keep ‘em coming! I also miss hearing your voice experience in retail, I’ve learned so much from you!

[joannachikhi]

The only fact of breaking the rules is great! Not respecting diktats is enjoyable! Thank you 😊

[tracythomas]

I personally will not wear denim on denim or socks with sandals. However, it’s just my personal preference. I love brown and black, navy and black and mixing prints. 🥰🥰🥰

[nancyelliott]

The brown jacket looks wonderful against the grey backdrop!

[joelleaittama]

Happy to say I have never followed those rules.
To white after Labor Day, I always thought it was just actually pointed out not to wear white pants after LD. I have white winter coats that I wore in the 90’s.
I am 54 so this may be new for younger generations.

Emily, I have a question. Have you ever considered doing a video on styling outfits for those of us who have a very casual wardrobe and a very casual lifestyle? Or maybe a video on helpful pieces to wear to special occasions. I don’t even own a pair of heels. The only starting point I see is this, if I shop for something to add to my wardrobe say for a wedding or funeral or special event it should be a casual item that I can dress up like say a classic looking jumpsuit in black. Does this question make sense? S.O.S 😂❤

I grew up in Chicago, and it was the #1 fashion rule: DO NOT WEAR white shoes or white pants after Labor Day. When I moved to Arizona, I kept adhering to that rule, though I do wear beige trousers in the fall/winter. White shirts and sweaters are all year round for me. The brown and black look fabulous as does navy and black. Great video, Emily.

[litebriteeyes]

Love this video, even though on the socks with sandals I could never! ;-)

[lilithowl]

I don't think that socks with sandals is a far cry from tights with open toed shoes or strappy heels - so I don't understand why people are so violently opposed. (Not that I wear any of these things myself!)

I'm with you, I love to break fashion rules - a lot of them don't even make sense. The colour combo ones for example.

The people who say black doesn't go with brown must reel in horror every time they see a dog or a cat which has both brown and black in its coat. And as for saying navy and black don't go - those people would be unable to look at a whole lot of Van Gogh paintings.

The one that really gets me is "blue and green should never be seen" - oh really? Do these people close their eyes when they go outside and see the horrifying sight of green grass or trees against a blue sky? Get outta here with your nonsense, people!

[jascha]

So funny, cause in Germany the Labor Day is on First of May. So much for the absurdity of such rules. 😂

[coraromano]

Those countries that don't have Labor Day are certainly scratching their heads about the white rule.

[fippy]

I think the never wear black with brown came from men's office fashion back in the day (the 1950's/60's), never wear a brown belt or shoes with black slacks only with navy. As for wearing socks and sandles thats a firm no from me but I will wear double denim if the denim is a different colour like a black or white jacket with blue jeans but that's just my style. On a side note, I miss your wink at the end of your intro.
