Colour blocking; a perfect touch for stylish women

The new fashion trend rising in the fashion industry is colour blocking. A lot of designers are blending colours and coming up with beautiful creations. Most people do not stick to a particular colour but rather blend two or more colours to stand out.

Colour block outfits made their presence felt since the mid 2014. Colour blocking is a chic way of coordinating the colors of your outfit. It's all about statement pieces and bold colors, creating a simple yet stylish look. With the right technique and mindset, you can easily colour block your outfit from head to toe.

Colour blocking, is a method of wearing multiple solid colors in an outfit. Colorblocking an outfit is easiest when you wear separates. Wearing a skirt and a shirt instead of a dress will give you a chance to colour block with ease.

However, the trend is reaching its peak in recent times. Colour blocking can be seen in both men and women's outfits. Among a colour that blends include orange and yellow, pink and blue, orange pink and grey, yellow and blue, green and yellow, blue and yellow and purple and baby pink.

As a matter of fact, colour blocking is not easy to carry. You need a good choice of colours and make sure that the blend looks good on you. From plain to vivid prints, colour blocking can add a spark and brightness to the overall appearance.

Again, in order to do a colour block one needs to start with two simple colours such as white and red, brown and black shirt or blue and black. As time goes on, one can include two or more colours to gain a perfect outlook.

When it comes to colour blocking an outfit, accessories are an absolute must. With the right belt or bags, you can bring your entire look together.

After choosing your colour preference, select a few accessories to compliment the outfit. They can be one of the colours already in your outfit or an entirely new color that coordinates with what you've already chosen.

One most important thing is that, prints aren’t the best option for this styling method, ladies can stick to clothing, accessories and shoes in solid colours in order to fully achieve that colour blocking effect.

This is a chance to let those plain and simple pieces in your wardrobe shine.
