When i was young , there were ALL this laws , Don`t wear blue with brown, Don`t wear high heels with pants. Don`t wear sport shoes unless you are busy in a kind of sport. etc.... At 16 i bought a coat that 'God Forbid" [as my Great aunt said.] had brown and blue squares [amongst green light yellow beize and black as well. WE learned that mixing was ok as nature goes... mirjam
Fortunately! I wonder where some of those rules came from. I speculate that the blue-brown idea came from people wearing brown shoes with blue-grey suits and then it was expanded to include everything, the way phobias sometimes develop.
My mother tried the blue-brown thing on me, and I pointed out that the fabric of a blouse had both colors in the pattern so it had to be "allowed". Then the nineteen-sixties happened and we threw out all the rules. A few have crept back in but still surprises me when someone my age claims that it's "wrong" to wear slightly different shades of the color together when they are of the same tone. I call that "coordinating", not clashing!
About the only color combinations I try not to wear without some other colors to buffer them are black and orange (Halloween colors in the USA), and red and green (Christmas colors in the USA).
