Incoming: Block Colour

Ooooh, I have to say I love this trend, it's going to be huge for summer, and you may have already seen Hollywood wearing it, Rhianna looked great in Purple and Orange, Leona Lewis popped in Yellow and Pink, while Ashley Greene has a Pink and Black dress I want in my wardrobe ... Now.




There are some rules to doing this look to keep it as fashion forward as possible.
-Firstly You need the colours to work well together, the easiest way is to think back to art class, complementary colours, opposite complementary, analogous, and such all come in to play. Analogous colours are ones that sit next to each other on the colour wheel, like Green and blue. This applies mostly if you are doing it with bright colours. Think pairs like Orange and Purple, Fuchsia and Aqua, Red and Purple, think jewel tones, they look spectacular together.
-Don't forget classic colour blocks too, such as Red and Camel, and Black and practically every colour out there (but especially bright jewel tones).
-This trend works best with either silver or gold shoes, or nudes.
-For complete impact, do not wear with any article of clothing or accessory with prints.
-Do not use more then three colours, max.
-Keep your hair and make-up simple if you're wearing brights, they're punchy enough to do all the talking.
-Wear perhaps one bold accessory that speaks with your outfit, this is not the time for delicate jewelry.
-Experiment, if you have an awesome skirt you want to find a match for, take it shopping with you, ask shop assistants, it's what they're paid for!
