This week, we explore whether style rules are timeless or just tied to current trends. We cover basics like balancing proportions, the rule of thirds, and the three-color rule, but see them as flexible tools rather than hard-and-fast rules. We also touch on how style rules change with different generations and how social media has expanded our fashion choices. Ultimately, we believe style rules can be helpful but should be adapted to fit our personal preferences and not restrict us. It’s more about finding what feels right and enjoying our own unique style.

Chapters
00:00 Introduction and Question about Style Rules
06:00 Style Rules as Tools, Not Gospel
10:32 Generational Differences in Style Rules
13:27 The Influence of Social Media on Style Rules
18:53 Introduction to the concept of style rules
25:53 Exploring different styles and proportions
31:29 The cyclical nature of fashion and style
