Colour Blocking

Colour blocking is combining different colours which compliment each other.
Colour blocking is fun and when done properly, creates really good effects!
It is definately a trend for this spring.
I recently read an article on Vogue UK [online] on how to colour block and what colours compliment each other and I will share what I have learnt with you :)

Complimentary colours
  • Team colours from the same family together for a harmonious look - think bright pinks with vivid fuchsias, turquoise with royal blue
  • Keep warmer tones like orange and red together
  • Go for a neutral-toned shoe to keep it simple
Mix it up
  • Work regal purples in with contrasting, fiery oranges
  • Try lime green with melon or rosebud pink for a pleasantly jarring combination
  • Go to town on the look with a loud, contrasting shoe or handbag
  •

    p.s. As a personal favourite, I love the combination of pink and red! :P
