Colour Blocking: Fact, Tips and Tricks.

----

As a new fashion trend sweeps across Nigeria, we
fashion junkies who are rocking the out-going trend seem to be
indecisive whether or not to go along with this new tide.

Some people refer to it as colour riot, fashion abuse and others the
"in thing"; I sincerely agree that it could be both depending on your
style and
perfection.

While embracing "daring" colours is something some of us are doing in
this season from the orange bags to the green pants and purple
blazers, others seem lost in this colour craziness.

There are certain rules that come along with each fashion trend just
like the 80's had its long skirts and corsets to this present era, in
colour blocking, there are no rules!!! The bolder you get, the more
the trend comes to life.

The point of colour blocking is to be found in colours you never
thought you can be seen in. Mix colours up with a little bit of your
style, go wild!

Orange is always a good colour to colour block. In combining colours
be sure to think "out of the
closet", you can rock colours like pink, purple, blue, yellow,
mustard, orange, red, grey , white and the likes of them. If you are a
shy person, make use of basic black and white neutral colours like
beige.

To rock this trend well, consider the colours in
relation to your skin tone and personality make sure they are flattering.
The beauty of colour blocking is that it can be used to maximize your
curves; you can use a neutral colour to minimize the parts you want to
play down and a bold colour to accentuate the areas you want to
emphasize on. Feel free to always rock this trend with your
accessories.

Basic Do's in colour blocking
-wear this style with neutral accessories
-little or nude makeup would definitely suffice
-try adding a shade of black to even things up, a black
belt or a watch.
-please try not to overdo it with colour blocking.
