Make Your Own Stylish with Color Blocking
Let me get you introduced to the vogue concept of Color Blocking, which could do wonders for your style statement. Don’t close this page, even if you are not a fashionista. This is a simple concept that can make any lady, whether simple lazy who does care to dress, or a plain Jane who has no means to dress, look uber cool, beautiful and chic, without a large spend of their pockets.
* Coming to the point, color blocking is nothing, but an effective choice of colored clothing. Simple mono colors for your pant and shirt, or skirt and top, can make you look chic. For example, the simple but effective style statement that most business women make, is with well-fitted dark denims, and a plain white simple shirt.
* Here, there are only two colors at work, dark blue, and white. This is what is known as color blocking. Of course, you could have you shirt divided into color, maybe the upper half till the bust could be orange and lower half from the under bust could be white jazzes with navy blue jeans. Then this could be a dash mono color white, orange, and navy blue.
* In this way a number of colors could be put in place in your clothing, but making sure that they are fitted in definite shapes. That’s the entire point of color blocking.
* Make sure that the mono color is filled in a particle part of block of your attire. Just like how we painted color on blocks and definite shapes in Coloring books and paint smudging outside sketches lost us marks in art exams.
* All right, if you have got what I’m trying to say I would like to suggest and illustrate Indian attire with color blocking. Imagine a well fitted bright hot pink ‘kameez’, totally plain minus design and any sort of design work or print, coupled with a bright orange plain cotton ‘churidar’ less print, or design with a lime green, or may be a bright red cotton ‘chunari’ or ‘dupatta’.
* Note here, we are using these simple colors, and creating magic with only color, reducing the details of art work and designs. For the cool ladies, I suggest blocking color in a pair of hot shorts with teamed up with a simple racer back, in any favorite mono color.
* Some personal recommendations my side would include wearing contrasting shoes, be it simple stilettos, or lady like ballerinas.
* Secondly, make sure your color blocking happens with a range of complementing color. Like red, oranges and pinks can be used together, while color like turquoise, blue, green, yellow can be used together.
* I suggest the use of chunky and loud jewelry, stones, large imitation crystals, etc to break the real simplicity behind color blocking.
