2026 Style Commandments: How To Avoid A Faux Pas This Year

Published: JAN 18, 2026

THOU SHALL NOT BLEND IN

Head-to-toe black without personality is just playing it safe. Add character, step out of your comfort zone and dress to stand out, not to disappear.

THOU SHALL NOT WEAR SUNGLASSES IN DARK

Evening shades scream try-hard. Save them for brunch or hangover cover-ups, as good style speaks quietly, not desperately.

THOU SHALL FOLLOW THE DRESS CODE

If it says black tie, wear a tux. If it says cocktail, loosen up, but not too much. Style starts with understanding the brief. Respect the dress code, then add your personality within it.

THOU SHALL INVEST IN TIMELESS KNITWEAR

Timeless knitwear is a cheat code as it does the talking. Think cardigans and turtlenecks with texture, colour, and personality: cozy, classic, and comfortable.

THOU SHALL NOT CHASE TRENDS

More effort doesn’t equal better style. Wear what fits your body, if it feels natural, it looks right. Well-fitted clothes, breathable fabrics, and confidence will always outlast loud branding.
