The new trend this festive season is called Colour Blocking, says our fashionista Nokuthula Zimu, and it entails having fun with colours by combining two or more blocks of colour in an outfit. It can be bright colours, muted colours, contrasting and complementary colours. Some outfits like dresses come colour blocked already and others you have to co-ordinate the outfit yourself, by wearing two opposite colours next to each other. |
