En la moda, como en (prácticamente) todo, existen ciertas reglas. Aunque dichas reglas también pueden, y a veces deben, romperse. Rosa y rojo, azul marino y negro, rayas con cuadros... todos hemos oído alguna vez los colores o los estampados que no deben mezclarse pero, mi pregunta es, ¿y por qué no? A continuación van unos cuantos looks que demuestran no solo que esas combinaciones que algunos claman imposibles, son muy posibles, si no que además algunas están más de moda que nunca y dominan el street style:
There're some rules when it comes to fashion, as it happens with (almost) everything in life. Such rules also can be (and sometimes they must be) broken. Pink and red, dark blue and black, stripes and squares... we've all heard at some point which colors or prints shouldn't be worn together but, my question is, why not? Here they come some outfits which show not only that such combinations are beyond possible but also that they're trendier than ever, ruling the street style:
1. ROJO & ROSA
Los eternos enemigos. Una de las relaciones de amor-odio más extendidas por todo el planeta (rosa y rojo, puñetazo en el ojo). En realidad, son dos colores muy parecidos y que dan lugar a combinaciones muy resultonas:
1. RED & PINK
The eternal enemies. I think this is one of the most international love-hate relationships that exists. Actually, both colors are quite similar and personally, I think that they create real interesting combinations:

2. ROSA & NARANJA
Forman parte del mismo círculo cromático, una cualidad que hace que para muchos esta sea una combinación difícil de ver. Yo, particularmente, no lo encuentro la dificultad por ninguna parte. Además de dar como resultado un look muy alegre y lleno de vitalidad:
2. PINK & ORANGE
Both belong to the same chromatic circle. Some might think that this quality make both colors incompatible. I, particularly, don't find the incompatibility anywhere. Besides, the combination makes the outfit quite fun and full of vitality:

3. AZUL CELESTE & ROSA BEBÉ
Para empezar, debemos de romper con la horrible tradición de vestir a los niños de azul y a las niñas de rosa. Es machista y muy pasado de moda. Segundo, son perfectamente combinables, una unión bastante tierna:
3. LIGHT BLUE & BABY PINK
To begin with, we should break with that awful tradition of wearing boys in blue and girls in pink. It's old-fashioned and sexist. Secondly, they're very combatible and the result is very cute, actually:

4. NEGRO & MARRÓN
Dicen que el negro y el marrón es una combinación difícil. También dicen que el negro combina con todo. Yo me decanto por lo segundo. Si no te sientes muy cómod@ usando estos dos colores juntos, empieza por vestir de negro y usar accesorios en marrón. El camel también es una buena opción para empezar a usar ambos colores juntos:
4. BLACK & BROWN
Many people agree that this is a difficult combination. But, people also say that black is a color that matches with everything. I agree more with te second statement. If you don't feel comfortable wearing these two colors together, you can start by wearing all black and using brown accessories. Camel is a perfect choice to start dressing in black and brown:

5. NEGRO & AZUL MARINO
Sinceramente, no sé por qué se ha dicho siempre que estos dos colores no casan. He investigado un poco y parece que tiene una base histórica (por lo visto, en la Edad Media el negro lo vestía la clase alta y el azul el pueblo llano). Sea cual sea la razón, yo los encuentro súper compatibles. Eso sí, mi consejo es que sean colores bloque. Juzgar vosotr@s mism@s con las siguientes fotos:
5. BLACK & DARK BLUE
Honestly, I really don't know where this incompatibility comes from. I've researched a little bit and it seems to have a sort o historical basis (in the Middle Ages, the upper class used to dress in black and the lower class wore blue). Being this the real reason or not, I like how they look together. The only advice I can give you is that you use block colors. Judge yourself the pictures:

6. RAYAS & CUADROS
Sin duda, arriesgado, pero no imposible. Eso sí, ambos estampados tienen que estar en su justa medida. Un truco, intenta que ambos estampados compartan las mismas tonalidades (cuadros y rayos en negro y blanco suelen funcionar bastante bien). Por cierto, es aconsejable que uno de los estampados destaque más que el otro:
6. STRIPES & SQUARES
This is, with no doubt, a risky combination, but not impossible. If you wear them together, make sure you don't overdo your outfit. A trick might be that both prints share the same hues (black and white stripes and squares should work). Besides, I recommend you that one of the prints stand out upon the other:

7. DENIM TOTAL LOOK
Para mi es una tendencia que nunca pasa de moda y con la que se pueden conseguir grandes looks. Unos 501, una cazadora o una camisa vaqueras son fondo de armario. El truco para combinarlos: elige distintos tonos de denim e intenta aportar un toque de color con algún accesorio:
7. DENIM TOTAL LOOK
For me, this is a tendency which never gets old and that allows youto create amazing outfits. A pair of 501, or a denim jacket or shirt are basics that you must have in your closet. The trick to wear a denim total look: choose different denim hues and try to include a touch of color with an accessory:

8. ANIMAL PRINT TOTAL LOOK
Una combinación arriesgada pero que puede ser todo un éxito. El ser humano lleva vistiendo animal print desde que usaban las pieles de los animales que cazaban para vestirse. A lo largo de la historia, su uso ha estado ligando a distintas clases sociales (a la realeza, por ejemplo) y ha sido sinónimo de alguna corriente estética (como la punk en los 70 y 80). Atrévete a mezclar distintos tipos de animal print, o a mezclarlo con otros estampados!:
8. ANIMAL PRINT TOTAL LOOK
A very risky combination, but it can be a huge success. The human being has been wearing animal print since we used to wear the skin of the animals that we hunted. Through history, its use has been associated to different social classes (such as royalty), and it's been also the symbol of some aesthetic trend (for instance, the punk movement durint the 70s and 80s). Dare to mix different animal prints or combine it with another prints!:

9. SANDALIAS & CALCETINES
Reconozco que, personalmente, no soy muy fan de esta moda, pero no por nada en concreto. A la hora de vestir hay que tener personalidad y criterio. Esta es una combinación que no uso pero porque, sencillamente, no va con mi estilo, aunque admito que hay gente con mucho rollo y que sabe defenderla:
9. SANDALS & SOCKS
I recognize that, personally, I'm not a huge fan of this trend. I don't really have anything about it, it's just that I think that when it comes to your own style, you should have personality and be honest to your own taste. I don't wear sandals with socks 'cause, honestly, it doesn't suit me. But I do admit that there're people who kill it:
