5 Fashion rules to break.

THE RULE — Don’t mix patterns and prints
BREAK IT — Try matching the dominant color of two different patterns, or pair an oversized print with a miniature one. A neutral-hued plaid coat over a delicate floral blouse looks timeless.

THE RULE — White shouldn’t be worn in the fall or winter
BREAK IT — We’re no longer obligated to don hat and gloves before leaving the house, so why hang on to this antiquated guideline?

THE RULE — No sparkle or shine in the daytime
BREAK IT — Our daily grind gets less dreary when we glam it up a bit.

THE RULE — Plus-size women should wear loose clothing
BREAK IT — The muumuu is not your friend. Sheath dresses skim the body and slim contours, crisp pencil skirts or tailored a-lines look polished, new jackets nip in at the waist, and even the menswear trend will cover your curves in style.

THE RULE — Certain color combos are forbidden
BREAK IT — When done right, any colors can be worn together.
