Women are much more comfortable making their own style rules now. They want pieces that will make their busy lives easier.
Even in dialogue, your own style rules your selection. Do not give yourself a blank check of this kind: 'I'll merely reproduce what I think a character like so-and-so would say.' You have to reproduce it in the way your literary premises dictate.
The success of a hat definitely lies with balancing the personality of the wearer with the type of occasion. Don't listen to those rules about face shape.
Never say never. I myself say no to things, and then I wear them. So, I'm now kind of sticking to the rule that there are no rules. Everything eventually comes back.
A pocket square must always - always - be white and a bit wild. If it is too prepared, it is tacky.
I love clothing, and I love fashion, but I think that there is too much pedantry in fashion, and saying, 'You have to wear all of these things together; you can't button this button.' You know, all of that kind of stuff.
I always get yelled at when things don't match, but apparently that's kind of part of fashion, having things not match.
Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.
I never dress for the occasion correctly because I hate fashion rules. They're so boring.
