How to colour-block your traditional outfits

One of the hottest and juiciest trends right now is colour blocking, which is everywhere in fashion. Contrasting colours are a stylish way to draw attention subtly or boldly.

Combining two to three (if not more) striking and frequently incongruous colours in one outfit to make a powerful statement is known as colour-blocking. A platform for designers to push the boundaries of conventional fashion standards, colour-blocking has firmly established itself in the world of fashion today. Colour block designs can be seen on various clothing items, shoes, handbags, and accessories.

We love the classic concept of colour blocking that is currently popular in fashion. Here are the best colour-blocking ideas for Indian clothing you can wear.

Yellow and pink

Pink is such a joyful colour, whereas yellow is associated with sophistication and brightness. When combined, they produce one of the most beautiful colour combinations. To give yourself a chance to confidently showcase your sense of style, choose this classic combination and go soft and modest. You can wear a yellow colour printed or plain lehenga and pair it with a bright pink dupatta or vice versa. Also, you can add elegance to your look

by wearing big or small white colour earrings.

Brown and white

The white and brown combo makes dressy outfits look cosy and relaxed in an equally feminine and fresh approach. To rock the colour-blocking game, you can wear a brown floral print saree with a white colour blazer and can also style it with a waist belt. Decent jewellery and basic nude makeup can do wonders for your look. Instead of brown, you can also wear red, blue or green.

Dark blue with bright colours

Dark blue is a versatile colour and can go well with all bright colours. You can wear a dark blue kurta and pants and style it with a vibrant colour dupatta like yellow, pink, red, orange or light green. Moreover, you can also wear some golden jewellery along with basic white heels.

Red and blue

Red and blue are great hues to grab the attention of fashionistas. You can style a red colour kurta and pants with a dark blue dupatta. Also, you can wear a dark blue blouse with a red sari. To give a contemporary touch, you can add some quirky jewellery to your look, along with a bindi.

Multicolour saree or a skirt with a basic blouse

Multicolour can be an ace of spades in the colour-blocking game. You can style a multicolour skirt or saree with a basic blouse of peach, white or black colour. Just make sure your multi- coloured outfit must include some bright hues like yellow, pink, green, orange and red. To give a more traditional touch to your outfit, adorn some junk jewellery and put a bindi on your forehead.

Grey and red

Grey and red are perfect for colour-blocking your outfit. The cool tone of grey lets the red pop out and do all the talking. You can put on a complete grey lehenga or Anarkali with some zari or embroidery work on it and style it with a red dupatta, along with some jewellery.

Well, it is really fun to try this trend and make your fashion game on point. So, go on and try some fun blocking colours attires.
