Some are convinced that fashion is making a comeback. This belief is so firmly entrenched that women don't throw away outdated clothes, waiting for a rebirth of trends.
The reality is that fashion is really cyclical. It revives ideas, but not the clothes we used to wear. The way trends are embodied is changing, other materials and cuts are being used. We will no longer wear low-waisted skirts from the 00's, but replace them with more relevant models: with an asymmetric bottom line or a stylish belt.

Fashion trends are sure to return, but reinterpreted and adapted to the requirements of the current time.
The style of minimalism is when you dress in modest clothes and add minimal details to the outfit. It's almost like a classic. Do you think so too? Then you haven't read our material about minimalistic style in clothes.
Minimalism is one of the manifestations of the avant-garde style with its non-standard silhouettes, unexpected shapes and creative solutions. If simplicity - then it is exaggerated, if the forms - they are clear, similar to architectural elements.
Minimalism is sophisticated simplicity, not boring, drab and mediocre.
A common misconception about style: street style refers to the hip-hop subculture. It includes baggy pants, bulky T-shirts, sneakers.
And that's really how it used to be - street style was the clothing of informal movements and surfers in California. Gradually the trend absorbed the features of haute couture and Japanese culture.
Now street style is a bright combination of different styles, which allows you to create original and sometimes epathetic images. Outfits, of course, may include baggy pants or oversize T-shirts, but this is not at all an obligatory attribute.
Another fashion misconception states that there is a certain universal set of clothes that everyone needs. The list includes white T-shirts, classic cut shirts, straight jeans, cardigans. All this is called a basic wardrobe.
In fact, basic does not mean universal, because even the list of necessary clothes is adjusted to the style and lifestyle of different women. That is, the base exists, but for each woman it is different, unique.
Another myth associated with the base is that it should be neutral. Gray, brown, black and white are the basis of such a closet, and the brightest colors would be some khaki or navy blue.
But, as we have already found out, the basic clothes for every woman is different and it is quite possible to build it not on a modest monochrome. The main thing is to choose clothes with the same undertones - so they will comply with the main rule of the base: to combine perfectly with each other.
The next fashion myth is also related to the basic clothes that, supposedly, do not go out of fashion. The theory goes that it is possible to assemble a certain capsule of clothes that will be relevant today, tomorrow and in 20 years.
Fashion influences even the base, changing the cut, the silhouette - the degree of fit, materials, trim details. If 10 years ago we wore close-fitting white T-shirts, today we choose free-cut models, and tight shirts up to the waist have been replaced by over-size models up to mid-thigh. Even the base is becoming obsolete, it's just not happening as fast as with the sharp trends.
The high price is a guarantee of the quality of clothes and manufacturing materials. It is better to spend once on a shirt from a famous fashion house than to buy every month low-quality models in mass-market. And this is also a myth.
Fashion houses and global brands use the same materials as the mass market. They also actively use polyester, which regularly receives tons of hate, use the same threads, the same cotton.
Of course, if you can afford a branded suit or a crocodile leather bag, you don't have to give it up. Nor do you have to be sure that these things will last for centuries. Unfortunately, we are often sold a name and a brand, not quality.
This is a misconception from the category of those that prevent looking stylish. Many women are so caught up in the theory of color typing that they forget that it is imperfect and has many limitations. It seems that in order to make the right outfit it is enough to determine whether you are spring or fall, but this is not true.
Blake Lively
First, the theory does not take into account all the peculiarities of appearance, and therefore will not prompt 100% suitable colors. Second, a color type analysis gives a list of suitable shades that are almost unrealistic to find in stores - the shelves are rarely stocked with plum-red blouses or yellow T-shirts with a cold undertones.

It is worth to stop believing that in the outfit is unacceptable to use more than three colors. There is an opinion that girls in colorful clothes look like "traffic lights" or "parrot" and demonstrate a lack of taste.
In fact, you can combine as many colors as you want. You just have to do it correctly. The theory of three colors was invented to warn against mistakes - it is easier to combine three colors in an outfit than five.
If you want to go beyond three colors, feel free to do it, trying different combinations in the fashionable colorblock style.
White makes you look fat! Every woman knows this truth since childhood. They write about it in magazines, they say in fashion shows, they talk in the circle of friends. This misconception is associated with the optical characteristics of white - it has no clear boundaries, so it visually expands and makes a shapeless figure.
But stylists disagree. Cool shades of white with blue, green or purple undertones do not add volume. They are suitable for plump girls, especially if you complement them with bright or dark colors.

Another fashionable myth about colors in clothing is associated with black. It is generally believed to conceal excess weight.
In reality, the effect of black on the figure shape depends on the cut, fabric and style of the clothes. For example, a black dress with a flared and loose skirt will slim, while a tight knitted dress will emphasize the weight and add extra.

Wearing gold and silver at the same time is tasteless. All jewelry should be made of the same metal. We hasten to dispel this myth, too.
In fact, it used to be customary to add either gold or silver pieces. This was originally connected with the belief in the supposedly different energies of the metals, and later consolidated in the rules of jewelry etiquette.
Fortunately, modern fashion no longer believes in omens, and with etiquette often comes into conflict. Unambiguously: it is possible to wear jewelry made of different metals in one look. The main thing is that they match the style and in general were in harmony.
Socks with flip-flops are an indicator of a lack of taste. Socks with sandals fall into the same category. For the past few decades, men in slippers and socks have been reminded that it is tasteless.
But the situation has changed, and a long time ago. First, wearing socks with slippers is permitted or even required by etiquette. Etiquette generally requires wearing socks for any footwear except yacht shoes. Secondly, fashion lawmakers have long ago turned the tandem of flip-flops and socks into a trend, which is regularly found on the catwalks and on the streets of fashion capitals.
Lacoste
A feminine look is impossible without heels. With a dress you must wear pumps or at least Mary Jane shoes.
Fortunately for the health of the feet - this is also a fashion myth. Look at style icons - Audrey Hepburn, for example, constantly appeared in public in ballet shoes. Would you call her unfeminine? Or Victoria Beckham - she often chooses shoes without a heel, but does not lose a drop of her sophistication.

Heels - is one way to add smooth curves and sexiness, but not the only way. The right cut and style of clothing, successful colors and a woman's sense of self can successfully cope with this.
Sequins and metallic effects are meant for parties. During the day it looks too provocative and draws extra attention. Let's find out why that's not the case.
In fact, this rule became obsolete long ago - the celebrities and main characters of street style showed a long time ago that such things look no worse in daytime outfits. The main thing is not to overdo it. It's enough to choose one shiny cloth and complement it with a calmer, neutral one.
Cropped tops and shirts are suitable only for women with a flat stomach and an ideal figure. Many women think so and deny themselves the pleasure of getting a trendy clothes.
Gigi Hadid
In fact, not only skinny women can use a shortened top. To hide a small tummy or flanks, it is enough to combine a cropped top and bottom with a high waist line.
Ashley Graham
The endless pursuit of ideals and the imposition of beauty standards has created another myth - you always have to seem better, slimmer, taller, fitter.
Tanesha Awasthi
But the world has moved on, and for many years now it has refused to impose standards. Now you don't have to conform to someone's expectations, look the way someone wants you to look, or adjust to demands. The main thing is how a woman feels, and it doesn't matter what her weight, type of figure or clothing size is.
