New colours on the block!

We have all been there, ladies. It is morning, you are already running late for work and find yourself stumped with no clue on what to wear! Our wardrobes are filled with jackets, pants, knits, trenches & so much more. However, putting all the pieces together can be fairly overwhelming.

Thankfully, there is one saviour to combat our problems. Colour blocking! Colour blocking can be described as making a statement with the use of 2 or 3 bold and bright colours. This trend has made its debut from the 1960’s and 1970’s when experimentation with clothing was a powerful act of revolution and free expression. Traditional colour blocking consists of putting together two or three different, but complementary colours together in one outfit.

Winter 2021 encompasses quite a few bright colour combos with no rules on how to mix and match them. It is time to jazz up your daily look by making use of this trend.
