Why worry when you’ve got Fashionlivre as your one stop source for fashion? Bringing to you the hottest trends and the smartest ways to pull them off, we’re glad to present to you a few tips and tricks to pull off the colour blocking trend with oodles of charm, style and confidence.

If you’re afraid to experiment at one go, invest in some colour blocking accessories to begin with. Once you get used to that pretty green and blue bag, pink and yellow watch, and orange and green sunglasses, you’ll open up to experimenting with your outfits as well.

When you incorporate colour blocking accessories into your wardrobe, make sure you balance your ensemble with neutral outfit choices. A pink top, orange pants, green shoes, yellow watch and blue necklace will make it seem like you’re taking a trip to the local circus.

The trick lies in balancing!

And so when you’re planning to wear loud coloured outfits like pink, blue, orange, red, yellow and green, keep the accessories to a minimum and keep them sober. Avoid pairing loud accessories with loud outfits.

If you’re a colour blocking fan, always keep a pair of nude pumps handy. It helps block out the loud garishness, balances your look and makes your outfit stand out in all the right ways.
