You may think there is nothing new about colour blocking your wardrobe, but our style director (who has bold colour in her DNA) Louise Hilsz will tell you different. Read on to learn more.
This season colour blocking is on our radar, as well as being bang-on-trend, it’s a great way to dress to flatter your body, regardless of your shape. Darker blocks of colour can disguise areas you aren’t keen on showing off. Or, use bold, slimming stripes to create a column of colour that will elongate your silhouette.
