A Few Basic Rules

Times change, and fashion evolves. Staying attuned to the current moment is fundamental when you have an interest in clothing. Beyond simply following trends, it's about understanding and internalizing them, so you can make them your own if you choose. It’s about knowing what’s being done, what has been done, and understanding the codes, so you can either celebrate them or break them if you wish.

In this sense, nothing is fundamentally off-limits as long as you feel comfortable and your clothing becomes an extension of your mindset, suited to the context in which you move and the personality you wish to convey.

However, a few rules can help you avoid missteps when in doubt:

1. Limit yourself to one standout piece per outfit, excluding jewellery.
2. Stick to one pattern per outfit.
3. Keep to two main colours, apart from black and white.
4. Avoid cropped trousers—they flatter no one!
5. Avoid pairing short sleeves with shorts in the city; instead, opt for rolled-up long sleeves or add a lightweight shirt to your outfit.
