Myth 15 .
Stilettos look good on everyone .
Myth 16 .
You have to dye gray hair .

Fashion magazines are full of advice on what you can and can’t do to be trendy. From the TV screens, stylists reveal the rules that all women are supposed to follow. And many people blindly trust their authoritative opinion, forgetting that we are all different and in general, don’t owe anything to anyone.
Bright Side figured out which fashion beliefs and tips are no longer relevant. No wonder the majority of them make our head hurt.
Myth 1. Fashionable clothes are only for thin girls.
There is an opinion that it’s the body itself that can become the key to a stylish look. However, the ability to dress beautifully doesn’t depend on the type of figure — in modern stores, you can find trendy clothes in any size. You just have to determine the styles that suit you, your color palette, and then you have to learn how to emphasize your advantages with the help of clothing.
Myth 2. Without perfect hair, the look is considered incomplete.
One of the most common outdated rules is that you have to style your hair so that it looks perfect. Of course, the hairstyle completes the look, but now, a slight carelessness is in fashion, so you shouldn’t spend a lot of time and effort on perfectly curling or straightening your hair.
A couple of curls pulled out of a hairstyle or tousled hair is touching, charming, and emphasizes the fragility, tenderness, and serenity of the girl. And even the grown-out roots of dyed hair don’t frighten anyone today. On top of that, it has even become a trend. Of course, aesthetic imperfections have nothing to do with sloppiness. The hair should still be clean and well-groomed, but nothing more.
Myth 3. At this age, you can’t wear...
Many people believe that when you reach a certain age, you have to change your style of clothing. The secret is that women themselves came up with this rule. In the modern world, there are no age restrictions when it comes to the wardrobe, and clothes aren’t divided into categories of 30+, 40+, 50+ years old. Stereotypes about fashion restrictions are becoming a thing of the past, along with the rest of the rules about what to do and what not to do at a certain age.
Today, you can easily imagine an older woman wearing ripped jeans or a mini-skirt. The main thing to pay attention to is the relevance of the clothes but don’t regret experimenting with your style. If you have worn dresses all your life, and then realized that you were wearing them for your man, and decided to change to jeans, then this is a great solution for you. After all, our life is an eternal way of getting to know ourselves.
Myth 4. Oversized clothes make you look bigger.
A loose fit creates the illusion of a more delicate figure. To achieve this effect, you need to follow a simple rule for styling oversized clothing — clothes should be tight on at least one part of the body or one part of the body should be bare. Thanks to this styling, the oversized style has won the hearts of millions of women, because you can literally reshape your body. On some parts, there should be volume, and on the others, clothes should emphasize the figure — this is how the right body sculpting works.
Myth 5. Draping and voluminous clothes hide body flaws.
Draping and folds add volume, and loose clothing will hide the outlines of the body which will make it look several times bigger. Moderately fitting silhouettes or flattering elements will look much more polished. For example, a belt will help draw attention to a thin waist.
Myth 6. No long hair after the age of 40.
There is no universal hairstyle for older women. If everything is alright with the health of the hair and length highlights the facial features, then there is no point in cutting long hair because you are a certain age. The main thing is your comfort and self-confidence. In addition, these hairstyles not only emphasize your advantages, but they also hide your flaws. For example, they are ideal for women with round or slightly full faces, as they visually lengthen it.
Myth 7. Your bag should match your shoes.
Many people try to find a bag that matches their shoes. There is nothing reprehensible or strange about this. However, in most cases, strict tone matching looks outdated. Nowadays, you can often see a combination of massive sneakers with a feminine clutch, or, conversely, stilettos with a belt bag. These clothing items can have different prints and colors — now, there are no fashion restrictions and complete freedom is allowed.
Myth 8. A look shouldn’t contain more than 3 colors.
After color blocking came into fashion, you can safely forget about this rule forever. Going beyond 3 colors can create an attractive and interesting look. The main principle is to combine colors in your outfit with geometric blocks on one piece of clothing, or simply go for several monochromatic things that are different colors. The color blocking technique is great for unusual and contrasting combinations.
Myth 9. Colorful clothes don’t suit me.
A certain color may really not suit a certain girl. However, it’s impossible that absolutely all shades of this color don’t suit you. It’s not worth rejecting the entire palette of shades of a certain color, because each color has a huge number of variations and the main thing is to find the one that works for you. By the way, the seasons can also affect the perception of color, because the color of our skin changes depending on them. If a certain shade doesn’t match your color type or style, then it still can be worn, but it’s better to move it away from the face.
Myth 10. Women should wear feminine clothing.
Some people are sure that girls should adhere to the style of classic femininity and not include any impudent or grunge elements in their look. It’s time to leave this rule in the past because there is nothing wrong with wearing not just jeans, but jeans with holes in the knees. Or replacing a boring trench coat with a rocker-style leather jacket and going to a parents’ meeting in it.
Myth 11. You can’t combine shades of green and pink in one look.
This rule appeared a long time ago, and it’s usually followed by well-read intellectuals. Over time, this color scheme started to be considered poor taste. With all due respect what hurts one’s eye may seem like a pleasant contrast to the others. In addition, in nature we now and then see red and pink flowers framed by green petals. And these flowers are beautiful.
Myth 12. Leather clothes are provocative.
Here you need to focus on the cut, the fit, and the relevance of the clothing item at the current moment. Perhaps wearing a leather suit with lacquered over-the-knee boots will look vulgar. But separate elements of clothing, like basic leather trousers, shirts, and jackets look extremely stylish, even in an everyday wardrobe.
Myth 13. Vintage style makes you look older.
Many people avoid clothes from their “grandmother’s closet” and from second-hand stores, as they are afraid they will make them look older. By themselves, these clothes don’t add age, but they should only be included in the most relevant looks.
Myth 14. Tattoos should be hidden.
Some people want to express their individuality, be creative, or tell their story with the help of tattoos. However, there’s an opinion that tattoos are a sign of frivolity and childishness. For this reason, the representatives of many occupations have to hide their tattoos, and some tattoo owners don’t like to show them in their everyday life. Intricate drawings on the body have long become a part of human history, so there is no point in being shy and always hiding them under clothes.
Myth 15. Stilettos look good on everyone.
This is not the most versatile shoe option. Although it looks stylish and elegant, curvier girls should be careful when choosing heels that are too thin, because a voluminous body in combination with stilettos may seem fuller due to the contrast. It’s better to choose shoes based on the body type and the whole look to avoid size imbalance.
Myth 16. You have to dye gray hair.
Many women feel obligated to obey the stereotypes prevailing in society, and in particular, to dye their gray hair. But now, mature beauty has been trendy for several seasons, and there are some not very obvious reasons for it. First, it demonstrates status. Second, women who are able to follow their own path, contrary to the imposed patterns, are worthy of respect. The main thing is that the hair and skin look well taken care of, smooth, and shiny, then the presence of gray hair will look appropriate.

Most people spend about a third of their life sleeping, or at least trying to sleep. According to experts, when we sleep, we go through different stages (and not all of them include dreaming). But that still leaves us wondering why we sleep and dream. Some explanations say that in light of evolutionary theories and psychology, sleeping has the function of helping us solve problems. While some others indicate that this process helps the body restore and rejuvenate itself.
Bright Side researched some of the theories about why we sleep and dream. In the bonus section, you will find some dreams that have changed history.
To restore and rejuvenate the body.
The restorative functions of the body occur primarily during sleep. Examples of these include muscle growth, tissue repair, protein synthesis, and the release of growth hormones. Therefore, one of the possible reasons why we sleep is related to restoring the body, while promoting its rejuvenation. As a bonus, when we don’t sleep well, this is often reflected in the face with marked dark circles. One trick to reduce them is to tap your eyes gently to bring blood flow to the area. You can also cover the dark circles with makeup if you have a concealer.
To work on problem solving.
There is one theory that says dreams may have evolved to solve 2 main types of problems.
The first are those that have to be visualized in the mind (like an inventor imagining a new device).
The second category is linked to those problems requiring an unconventional approach. A psychologist from Harvard University asked some students to choose a problem and try to solve it in a dream. After a week, approximately half of them dreamt about the problem and a quarter solved it. So, at least if the problems are relatively easy, some people can solve them in their sleep.
To consolidate memories and learning.
Another suggestion is that sleep plays an important role in memory (both before and after learning a new task). According to research, memory consolidation occurs during sleep by strengthening the neural connections that form memories. Likewise, poor sleep and inadequate rest may cause overworked neurons to function inefficiently when coordinating information. Thus, our ability to access what we learned may be diminished. Besides, this can affect a person’s mood, motivation, and even judgment and perception.
To perform a “cleaning shift” for the brain.
During our lives, we constantly receive a lot of information, much of which is unnecessary.
To understand how it is retained, a group of scientists analyzed the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of memory (especially during the sleep phase of greater relaxation and deep rest). The results suggest that the neural connections that gather relevant information are strengthened while we sleep. Similarly, those created from irrelevant information are weakened and get lost.
To serve as simulations of events.
The biological function of dreaming could be to simulate threatening events and work out how to avoid them. So it’s possible that the content of dreams is actually organized and selective. This means that during sleep the brain constructs a complex model of the world, in which certain types of elements are underrepresented. At the same time, others are overrepresented and adjusted by the experiences of the waking state.
The reasons why we sleep could change over the years.
Sleep functions may change with age, or at least that’s what research suggests. This study focused on showing how babies spend most of their sleep. It was shown that, as the babies’ brains build new connections between neurons, they spend most of their time in REM sleep. (Which stands for Rapid Eye Movement sleep.) Then, before turning 2 and a half years old, REM sleep hours decrease. Also, the brain switches into maintenance mode, primarily using sleep time to clean and repair. Besides, the amount of sleep time a person requires is influenced by several factors, including age. Therefore, the following amounts are recommended: Newborns: 16-18 hours a day
Preschool-aged children: 11-12 hours a day
School-aged children: At least 10 hours a day
Teens: 9-10 hours a day
Adults (including older adults): 7-8 hours a day
In addition, we dream in specific stages.
Human beings go through different phases of sleep. The first phase, known as non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, is divided into 3 stages. Initially, the person is somewhere between being awake and asleep and may enter a superficial sleep. In the second stage, light sleep is reached (with a low body temperature and slower brain waves).
In stage 3, deep and restorative sleep is achieved with both slow breathing and slow heartbeat. The muscles relax and obtain an increased blood supply as energy is restored and hormones are released. However, in the second phase, we also go through the so-called REM sleep. It happens approximately 90 minutes after we fall asleep, and this REM sleep becomes longer later into the night. During this phase, the brain is active and it dreams while the body relaxes and remains immobile — at the same time, the body as a whole recovers energy.
Bonus: Dreams that made history
1. Paul McCartney dreamt of a successful melody.
According to biographers, Paul McCartney composed the melody for “Yesterday” during a dream he had at his girlfriend’s house.
2. Niels Bohr saw the structure of atoms in a dream.
The atom’s structure was discovered by Niels Bohr. It is said that it was in a dream that he was able to see electrons revolving around a nucleus (like in the solar system). Eventually, he sought to test this hypothesis and discovered that the atomic structure was, in fact, similar to the one in his dream.

So one morning I’m sitting at the table with my mom having breakfast when she looks out at the feeder, then stands up, and rips the slider door open, storms out onto the deck, and starts screaming, “HEY, GET OFF MY FEEDER!” At this point, I peek around the corner and sure enough, there is the bear coming down off its back 2 legs looking very confused as to why it’s getting yelled at. The bear walks off into the woods and she comes back inside as if nothing happened. My dad and I just look at each other and start laughing. My mother, one of the tamest and level-headed people I know, just scared off a BEAR! © toworkortoreddit / Reddit
My mom once came quietly into my room early one morning, I was maybe 14 years old. Suddenly, “Sarah! Quickly! There’s a UFO in the backyard!” as she’s shouting at me, she’s run straight into my brother’s room and grabbed his window shade to pull it up to show me the UFO, as he had a perfect view of the backyard. Mind you, waking up in such a way I was in a stupor, so excited, bewildered, I couldn’t believe this was happening! I don’t even think my feet ever hit the floor to get to my brother’s room. What was I about to see? I pictured this large silver disc spinning and hovering in front of the swing set. Then! Thhwwwaap! The sound of the shade being snapped up — I didn’t see anything right away — maybe it’s already gone? My mom just stared at me with a smile only a crazy person could wear — “April Fools!!!” She laughed and laughed. © Sarah Reyes / Quora
My mom is too active in every aspect. She, being bored at home, joined a vocal music course at a college near to our home 2 years back. She used to be so sincere at the start, like practicing vocals daily, reading the theory, etc. I was totally shocked to see her that dedicated and even used to tease her a bit. Recently, on her last day, she attended her third-year vocal examination, but she didn’t perform well, and consequently, she received a scolding from her teacher. She got frustrated and decided to not prepare for the written exam. She called me after the exam and said she did very well. I was totally confused because I know that she didn’t study at all. Later on, she said, “I didn’t study but my phone did.” On the day of the exam, she took snapshots of a few important notes. She bravely hid her phone in her purse and filled in the exam with the help of the pictures she had taken. © Srija Asritha M / Quora

Today, more and more women are choosing to date younger men. Celebs like Kate Moss, Priyanka Chopra, and Heidi Klum don’t see age as a barrier when it comes to love, so why should we? In the past, dating younger men was less accepted by society and frowned-upon — but we think that things have changed. Women can choose who they date and nothing will stand in their way.
Bright Side has found some of the reasons why women go for beaus younger than they are, and we’re learning what we may be missing out on.
Younger men smell more attractive to women.
This is because their bodies are at the peak of their health. In fact, a study shows that the older we get, the stronger we smell as our body odor changes. Young men are also more likely to wear scents like cologne and body spray to stay sharp. It’s worth noting that smells are a huge part of attraction as we unconsciously fall for their odor, as well as everything else.
Younger men experience the world differently.
Because they’re part of another generation, they may do things completely differently. This can open the minds of their partner as they show them how things are done today, introducing them to a whole new world. This can be fun for both of them as they get to share their 2 worlds together.
Younger men are more stylish.
Youthful guys are generally known to pay more attention to how they look and dress. For example, they may choose style over comfort and keep up with the latest trends. Actually, according to one study, how men dress is an important part of what women find attractive about them since they find the way a person presents themselves to be crucial.
Younger men are full of energy.
This is an inevitable factor because this energy can add new experiences to the relationship. Youthful boyfriends may be more eager to try new things and stay on the move, which can mean experiencing unique activities together that you wouldn’t normally do. This may help to keep the relationship exciting and full of adventures, adding more memories to their photo album.
Younger men can be more flattering.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of competition between women, and when young guys go for older women, it can often be celebrated. In today’s society, women who are past the age of 30 are considered “old” by many people, especially if they’re single. So when a younger man dates an older woman, he is ignoring these stigmas and showing her the appreciation she deserves instead.
Younger men don’t (necessarily) want children yet.
As couples get older, they may feel pressure to start settling down. However, guys with fewer numbers on the clock are probably still a long way off from the point of wanting kids, which can be great if the woman doesn’t want children. One study shows us that men are delaying having children more in recent years, many choosing to have them when they’re in their thirties and later.
Younger men have more time for you.
Divorce, career, and disappointments — dating someone younger generally means you can skip such baggage. It’s more likely that younger guys aren’t tied-down with such concerns. This can be perfect for having more time together. This means that he’s not dividing his time so much between the woman and other major obligations in his life, such as children.

It can work well if you plan on having children together because the younger the man, the more fertile he likely is. Problems with conception can be stressful and often put a strain on any relationship, which may be escapable with a younger partner.

Almost 40% of us wear pajamas to bed, and there’s nothing cozier than your favorite winter PJs. But what we choose to wear to bed can actually affect our sleep, our looks, and even our health. If your fluffy jammies cause you to overheat at night, it may be one of the reasons you’re not drifting off as easily and end up waking up feeling tired in the morning.
We at Bright Side also love to throw on our comfy pajamas and hide under a warm blanket when it’s chilly outside. So we decided to find out why warm PJs may not be the best choice of sleepwear.
1. It affects the quality of your sleep.
Sleeping in pajamas that are too warm means you could be in for a restless night since your body needs to maintain the right temperature throughout the night. The ideal fabric for bedtime is cotton, as it lets your skin breathe and helps you to stay comfy. Another great choice for nightwear material is linen, which is breathable and absorbent — but it may be not as soft as cotton.
2. It might give you pimples.
When you’re sweating in your sleep, it may lead to a specific type of breakout known as sweat pimples. The combination of heat and friction from your sweaty pajamas can cause clogged pores, which in turn, will give you more skin irritation. Choosing nightwear made from bamboo fabric may help prevent acne, as this fabric has antimicrobial properties. It’s even softer and more absorbent than cotton and may be just what you need to sleep well.
3. It may trigger infections.
If you’re sweating at night, you have a higher chance of developing a skin infection. Bacteria grow better in moist and dark places, and when you’re covering up with layers of warm clothes and a blanket, you can actually create the perfect breeding ground for microbes.
4. It might affect reproductive health.
Men who don’t wear pants at night may improve the quality of their sperm, according to a study. When you go to bed wearing tight underwear or warm pajamas, your genital region is more likely to get sweaty. It can also affect women’s fertility as excess sweat may lead to inflammation and infections.
5. It keeps your body from regulating its temperature naturally.
If you’re too hot in bed, your core temperature won’t be able to fall, keeping you from getting a good night’s sleep. Having a lower temperature at night helps your body to recover better and can even boost your metabolism. If you’re looking to wear something other than cotton pajamas, silk might be a good choice. It’s a natural thermal regulator and can keep you warm on cold winter nights thanks to the heat that is kept between the silk threads, creating an isolation effect.

While it may sound surprising, letting your pet in your bed can influence your well-being. While your home is supposed to be the calmest place on Earth, there are some interior details and daily routines that can make you feel worried. From your bathroom to your living room — every room can easily have an unnoticeable detail that might slowly affect you without you even noticing it.
Bright Side carefully inspected every room and we can’t wait to share our findings with you!
1. Waking up to alarm sounds
A sudden noise that wakes you up in the morning can trigger your body to produce high levels of adrenaline. And if this keeps happening every day for a long time, it can lead to anxiety. On the contrary, waking up using light is way healthier for you. So you might consider replacing your alarm with a silent one, that imitates bright daylight and gradually wakes you up without stressing your body out.
2. Putting a scale in your bathroom
There is even a special term for the fear of your bathroom scale — gravitophobia. When you see it daily, you can even develop a scale addiction, meaning you constantly weigh yourself. Later on, this habit can turn into an unpleasant stressed out feeling. To calm yourself, you can hide your scales and make sure you only use them once a week or month to track your weight.
3. Looking at yourself for too long
Researchers from one study invited people who were diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder to participate in an experiment and experience the effects of gazing in the mirror. They found out at the end of the experiment that the observed group started showing signs of stress after staring at their reflection for too long.
If you already find that you focus on various body flaws and notice that you’re constantly checking your reflection in the mirror, you can still prevent yourself from stressing out. For example, you can replace your bigger mirror with smaller alternatives that aren’t as tempting to gaze into.
4. Letting your pets sleep with you
Many of us can’t resist letting our pets into bed with us, though there can be more cons than pros when it comes to doing this. Not only can being so close to their fur lead to allergies and make you sick, but they can seriously disrupt your sleep. Not getting enough rest is linked to increased irritability, raised stress levels, and many other negative health consequences. In this case, it’s better to get a separate bed for your furry best friend.
5. Not paying attention to the temperature
Extreme cold or hot weather can affect our mood, but the right temperature indoors is just as important for our mental state. When it’s too cold or hot around us we can feel demotivated, stressed out, and even aggressive. The ideal room temperature that boosts productivity and is favorable to our well-being is shown to be 77°F (25°C).
6. Collecting memories in one place
Creating a separate spot for all of your family or friends’ photos might not be a good idea because this visual clutter can overstimulate your brain. As a result, a photo gallery can disturb your focus, make it hard to relax, and even lead to stress. In this case, it’s better to put photos in separate frames and place them in different spots around your home.
7. Using the wrong lights for your bedroom
LED lights should not be installed in your bedroom because they radiate a significant amount of blue light. This can disturb your sleep and keep you restless at night, which is linked to increased anxiety and many more psychological and physical problems. It’s better to opt for options that produce warm dimmed light.
8. Choosing the wrong wall color
There’s a connection between the color green and heightened creative thinking, so this color can be a good choice for home offices and studios. Red can charge you with energy, and violet is associated with sophistication. However, colors like yellow or purple can trigger anxiety and negative feelings. Also, excessive amounts of white in your rooms can contribute to uneasy feelings.
9. Storing processed foods in your fridge
Sausage, salami, canned meat, deep-fried foods, refined cereals, candy, pastries, and high-fat dairy products are considered processed foods. Not only can they cause various physical problems, but they can also influence our mental state in the form of anxiety and depression. That’s why, if you can, try to switch to a cleaner alternative that you cooked yourself.
10. Relaxing by watching television
Watching television might seem like a relaxing evening activity to many, however, it can be linked to anxiety in many ways. For example, some shows, like the news, thrillers, or criminal documentaries, can trigger anxiety. Moreover, sitting in one position for a long time keeps your body inactive, which can lead to stress and fatigue. If you want to calm down after work, you can try to take a relaxing bath with salt or do mild yoga.

For many people, losing those annoying extra pounds can become a very difficult dream to achieve. But reality can be quite different, since it is totally possible if you are persistent.
