You must have seen this trend everywhere – colour-blocking! The stars are all showing up on the red carpet in multi-coloured outfits. Nail’s have also been hit with this trend and of course we picked up on this look for jewellery too.
What is colour-blocking? Basically pairing 2-3 blocks of colours in in your jewellery.
Here’s a few tips on how to perfect the colour-blocking look.
1. Stick with two colours. You have a few different options on how to choose the right 2 colours. For the daring individual that isn’t shy to stand out I would recommend going with two contrasting colours. Opposites attract after all. Bold primary colours look great with this look. For a more subdued look pair like-colours such as purple/blue or pink/red to compliment each other. But test it for yourself and try on different colours to see how they look together. Also don’t forget to choose colours that flatter your skin-tone. (You can do 3-4 colours but not more than that)
2. The colours you use need to be solid colours without any prints or designs to be a true colour-blocking look. Keep clothing simple when wearing colour-blocking jewellery.
3. Colour-blocking is an attention-grabbing look that isn’t right for everyone but if you want to still incorporate this trend into your wardrobe try some of these jewellery looks. There’s a wide variety of colourful contrasting or matching gemstones and Amethyst works particularly well with most colours.
