Colour blocking extends to accessories this season

The trend of colour blocking is no longer only for clothes this year. Today, everything you wear, right from shoes, jewellery to handbags are being colour blocked and styled to create the best colour contrasts possible.

Colour Bloacking is basically about taking large blocks of colour and using them together. It's really popular and adds an immediate radiance to any look. Earlier trends combining colour blocking was for clothes, and stores were full of clothes with large areas of colour juxtaposed together to create a splash of fabulous shades.

 

Now, the same look on accessories is just as hot. Colour blocked handbags, for instance, look as stunning as do shoes in the same style. The trend has extended to makeup and hair shades too.

It is important to remember not to go overboard with the look. While colour blocked accessories look awesome, when used with too many other colours, they can end up making you look like a giant paintbox. Also using wrong colours together can wash out the look or make you look totally ridiculous.

Working the trend as tastefully as you can is the key to looking good. Experts suggest that it is best not to use more than three colours on your person at any one time. Darker colours always make you look slimmer, so it is best to use such shades to help you camouflage the problem areas in your figure.

Trying out this happy trend is the best way to bring in the summer.
