FASHION's palette has moved on from summer's acid bright and paint box pops of colour into the sumptuous realm of jewel tones for autumn/winter 2011-12. With names like amethyst, sapphire, emerald, ruby, garnet and citrine - these hues have the power to make you feel rich and sophisticated.
Now we can colour block by using burnt oranges and purples, emerald greens and sapphire blues. Think deep, rich beautiful colours, them together. As seen on Cheryl Cole, Nicole Schezinger and Kim Kardashians.
Gissings Boutique How To Guide for Colour Blocking:
1. Keep items plain, when colour blocking only wear items that are plain and have no patterns.
2. Spilt colours at the waist for example, wear a gold waist belt to separate the colours.3. If wearing a coloured plain dress, why not add colour with your shoes, handbags and jewellery.
Ideal Colours - Light/Fair Skin - Emerald Greens, Burnt Oranges, Blacks, Deep Sapphire Blues - Use Silvers to break up the colours.
Medium/Olive Skin- Hot Pinks, Bright Purples, Oranges, Creams, - Use Gold or Bronze to break up the colours.
Dark Skin - You are very lucky as any off the above colours would look amazing - be careful and ensure the tones of colour are the same. For example keep warm and cool tones separate.
