Fashion Rules You Should Be Breaking
If you're looking for an eye-catching colour combo to embrace this summer, hot pink and fire engine red ticks all the boxes.
Pink and red? Clashing prints? Forget everything you thought you knew about the fashion rule book.

Fashion is supposed to be fun, and one of the quickest ways to put a damper on getting dressed in the morning is by spending too much time worrying about so-called dos and don’ts of the sartorial world. Rules really are made to be broken where your wardrobe is concerned, so take a look at our gallery below and discover the five fashion rules you should be breaking.

1. There used to be a rule that anything sparkly should be kept hidden inside your wardrobe until the sun goes down but this is a fashion rule you should be breaking, stat. Add a hint of sparkle is a quick way to lift block colours and bring ordinary staples to life.
