As the colour blocking trend continues, make sure you do it right to flatter your figure and the best example  was Kate Winslet at the Venice film festival few days ago wearing Stella McCartney colour block dress.

The black and white combination, camouflages her silhouette to make it look curvy. Since lighter colours advance and darker colours recede, the dark panels framing the white bring the focus to a curvy figure.

Use colour blocking to suit your figure

For wide hips, take a cue from J Lo's outfit - bright on top, dark at the bottom. This combination brings attention to the upper half and the darker bottom gives a slim appearance to her hips.

For wide shoulders and narrow hips, wear dark on the upper half and brighter or lighter at the bottom

To suit a tall figure, colour block at the bottom half brings the attention downwards to balance out your tall figure

To highlight your waist, wear an eye catching colour on your waist.

Adopt this trend and make it work.....

Happy reading
