Tips to Color block Your Curves the Right Way
Color blocking can be a fun way to add to the fashion quotient of curvy girls. You can play up the right way with your curves and look amazingly chic, while rocking such bold and daring colors. We give you some important tips here:
- More is not always better. At least, not in case of color blocking. So, you should steer clear from picking more than 2-3 colors at a time and giving others a sore eye.
- Nothing is as good as a solid colored top in black, white or even nude for using as the base for your overall outfit. You can build gradually on various other shades.
- Be conscious about the contrast or saturation of the colors you choose. Too high and too low shades never go hand in hand. Hence, think twice before teaming up a super vibrant top with a pastel bottom.
