FROM red carpet events and fashion editorials to street style and our favourite stores, colour blocking has been trending for several seasons in a row. Now, mixing and matching different colours in a stylish way might seem a little tricky, but this is a trend that anyone can master. There are numerous ways to rock this trend – some easier than others. STYLETAG.com tells you the best ways to colour-block your summer looks:
Colour blocking is all about being wise in choosing the right combination of different colours and hues, without looking like a walking colour wheel. It is important to use colours that complement your complexion as it would enhance the entire look. Keep experimenting with different colours until you know what works for you and what does not. If bright and bold colours scare you, there is also the option to keep your ensembles a little simpler with a classic black and white colour block.
No more than three colours-rule
Though this trend is all about colours yet it is safer to play within the range of three colours in one outfit to avoid any style blunder. Chances are that with way too many colours you would end up looking like the latest catalogue of a paints brand.
Keep in mind ‘trouble’ areas
Stop worrying about body-imperfections and examine the areas that need attention. Go for darker colours to look slimmer. If you have a tummy, avoid horizontal blocks across the stomach, minimise a large bust with a darker shade on top. Colour blocking looks great on an hourglass shape when you cut the look in half, right at the waistline. Keep in mind that very bright and large colour blocking tends will make you look bigger than you are.
Add accessories
Accessories are an absolute must for any outfit, as they add that touch of the much needed sparkle to the entire look. Pick a handbag, belt or jewellery pieces from STYLETAG.com and go the right way in teaming them up to complete your colour block look. Stay away from accessories that are embellished and detailed. After all, colour blocking is all about stylish simplicity.
