At this point, most of us pay zero attention to stuffy, old-school fashion advice like “Don’t wear white after Labor Day” or “Your bag and shoes must match!” And yet, even in 2017, there’s still a ton of widely accepted style “rules” that are actually totally outdated, nonsensical, or just plain insulting.
