Mens Style Rules (That You Should Ignore)

I'm sure you've heard menswear rules through the years - never button the bottom button of a jacket, don't wear white after labor day, don't mismatch your leathers. But are these rules actually worth following? Where do they come from? Are they overly restrictive, or are they actually good advice? Which ones should we follow, and which should we break intentionally? I wanted to break down some of the most common style "rules" and whether I agree or not, and why. Maybe you'll learn some you haven't heard before. Let me know what rules you've heard that you agree or disagree with. Bonus points if it's a rule that... makes no sense (looking at you, 'blue and green should never be seen.' Still mad at that one).
