Colour block

By Crystal Okusa

Let's start with the pertinent question, what is colour block?

Well, it is one of the hottest new trends this year that fashionistas should quickly pick on.

Who said three was a crowd? The look would be nothing without it.

Colour block is simply combining two or more solid colours in an ensemble. The coloured cloth should not be a mix of other colours but should be bold and solid.

Your dressing from head-to-toe can be all different colours that are complementary on the colour wheel.

It also hides your body flaws and some even give a slimming effect.

The colour block trend can, however, be a tricky trend to pull off. So if it is your first time, then blend it in with other basic colours like white, black and brown or grey so that it softens your colours.
