Colour Block!


'Fashion fades, only style remains the same' - Coco Chanel.
This is a statement I live by, I see many girls wearing the most up to date trends and who look absolutely horrific doing so! I see style as being able to put together an outfit where each item compliments the other, not just throwing together the latest things to come into Topshop and hoping for the best. The colour block trend is a difficult one to pull off, certainly relevant for the spring/summer season bright colours are to be worn together instead of avoided. It's a fun trend that will surely lift anyones mood just by wearing bright colours. However this could potentially end in catastrophe for a lot of people so there are a few simple pointers to remember...

1. Although the most obvious part of the outfit will be bright colours, don't forget to work with your shape i.e. a bright waist belt for an hour glass shape to excentuate a small waist or wide leg trousers with a bright shirt for a pear shape to balance your bottom half.
2. Not every item of clothing has to be a bright colour to follow the fashion, bright block colours will look just as good with a neutral colour such as black or nude breaking them up.
3. The brightly couloured item does not have to be clothing, it could be a handbag, belt or scarf.
4. If you're not confident trying this trend then don't! It's not a necessity you follow every fashion idea!
5. Think outside the box, bright nail varnishes and lip sticks are fantastic ways of incorporating bright colours into an outfit.
