Have you seen yourself in the mirror today? Does that skirt blend well with that top? Do those patterns really match? I know you like that shoe but, is it syncing with the whole outfit?
These and many more questions are the drill for your sense of dressing every single day.
It is normal to see a trend and hop on it but most times you do not have the exact clothes they posted so you just want to improvise. Now let's talk about colour blocking.
What is Colour Blocking?
Colour blocking is basically blending solid colours to get abperfect eye catching aesthetics-practically ruling your world.
For example, red and orange.... It sounds odd to you yeah? I know how that is. As individuals, we naturally like to play safe but after understanding your body and fashion sense you build a certain kind of confidence that would make you want to try new things like colour blocking.
How do you safely colour block your outfits?
If you are new to the concept of colour blocking, it is advisable to play safe by avoiding patterns first. Getting a hang of this trick, colour blocking, is easier doing plain materials together. Like sighted earlier, red and orange would blend better without pattern because it gets confusing trying floral patterns, or check patterns in a colour block. It would seem very confusing until you are very sure that they blend. So firstly, plain colours would help ease the tension and confusion of dressing right.
Secondly, understand your skin tone. As a person of colour most bold colours would complement your skin but playing safe too should not be underestimated. A fair person would not want to do much of orange, or yellow because it could be a lot of colours. Purple, blue, mostly dark but loud colours can make your outfit confident. You can play around with three colours, like a fair individual that likes orange, you can tone it down blue and wine. Feel free to express your love for colours with an understanding of colour wheels.
Lastly, as much as you want to play around with colours, try to incorporate neutral colours into your outfits. A nude shoe here, a black bag there, could be the complement that your outfit needs. They easily match this course and provide a sweet blend to your choice of style.Now that you understand the basis to try out the latest colour blocking trend, here is a summary of what to put in mind;
1. Start with blending plain colours alone
2. Understand your skin tone.
3. Incorporate neutral colours into your choice of style.
Once you have ticked all these boxes, feel free to turn the world I to your runway. Goodluck trendiest fashioning!
