Trend Alert: Colour Blocking!

It seems that the colour stylings of the late 80s and early 90s are creeping back into fashion.
If you haven't already noticed color blocking is now at the frontlines of the runways. Color block fashion is one of the hottest trends right now. Spotting the trend is very easy this season when done in bright colors, but it can also be established with muted, monotone, contrasting and complimentary colors. You can get this look with clothes, accessories, bags and shoes.

Wearing colour blocks is not complicated. There are really only two rules to consider when trying to achieve this look:

1. Pick two solid shades of the same family, use jewel tones as they work best for this.

2. Pair it with nude shoes and minimal jewelry and make up.

Since color blocking is already a huge statement on it's own you don't want to weigh it down with heavy jewelry and bright shoes.

If wearing color blocking seems a little to flashy and bold for your taste, you can always try the colour blocking in a shoe or a bag for a more subtle statement.
