There are many Men's Fashion Myths that have been passed around over the years. Some have truth and reason to them, and some are just useless. I have put together a few guy myths that are pretty popular and gave tome insight on what I think of them.
No white after Labor Day. This is probably the biggest fashion myth. This myth typically refers to not wearing white shoes past the Summer months. Because fashion has changed so much, the "Fashion Police" have been a little forgiving with this issue. This is one of those subjects where I just go with what looks great, so who cares if nobody else agrees.
Your Shoes & Belt must be the same color. This one is a big myth that has caused many men to look boring and plain. As long as your belt & shoe colors belong to the same family (EXAMPLE: Browns, Oranges, and Greens) are paired together, you'll be fine.
Don't mix patterns. The "fake" rule of only wearing one pattern at a time has been ingrained in our minds. It's an easy assumption to make, since it's only logical that combining a green plaid shirt and a yellow polka-dot tie would make you look like a clown. Mixing patterns can be a very sophisticated and fashion-forward look in men's fashion, but only if you have the know-how to pull it off. The best way to play with pattern is with your shirt and tie combo.
The main rules to follow are: The colors in both patterns should be in the same tone (again, they don't need to match exactly), and one pattern should be more subtle than the other. For example, pick a striped shirt and throw on a tie with a subtle checkered pattern that's in the same color family.
These were just some of the most popular Fashion Myths for Men, but there are plenty more. Hope this helps you out fellas!
