The New Rules of Getting Dressed
Once upon a time, there were fashion rules: no white after Labor Day, match your bag to your shoes, don’t mix prints, heels for polish, sneakers for errands, and always dress for the occasion (but never too much).
But we’re not living in that version of the story anymore. Style today is personal, flexible, and gloriously rule-breaking. It’s about feeling like yourself, not following a dress code. It’s expressive, a little messy, and way more fun.
Here are the new rules of getting dressed—according to us, and probably you too.
You Can Be Comfy and Stylish
Gone are the days when “comfortable” meant frumpy. We now live in a world where elastic waistbands, oversized knits, and structured sneakers are part of the style conversation—and we’re never going back.
Match Your Mood, Not the Season
Wanna wear a bright pink lip in the dead of winter? A black maxi dress in July? Do it. Fashion isn't a seasonal subscription anymore—it’s about dressing how you feel, not what the calendar says.
Mix Prints, Textures, and Vibes
Florals with stripes. Leather with lace. A satin skirt with a graphic tee. The new dress code is called contrast, and it’s kind of brilliant.
Rewearing is a Power Move
Outfit repeating is in. Wearing the same coat 100 different ways? Even better. In a world of fast fashion, finding your pieces and styling them differently is the new chic.
Getting Dressed Just Because Is Enough of a Reason
No plans? No problem. Wear the good shoes. Spritz the expensive perfume. Get dressed for the version of yourself that’s not waiting for permission to feel amazing.
There’s only one real rule now: wear what makes you feel something.
Joy. Strength. Comfort. Confidence. Boldness. Power. Softness. Nostalgia.
Whatever it is—let your closet say it for you.
