COLOUR BLOCK: The colour-blocking trend began about a year ago and it literally means an outfit made up of 'blocks' of solid colour. Nothing is more attractive than a well-dressed man, and what is there not to love about a well-dressed man who isn't afraid to step of out the box and wear an eye-catching, jaw-dropping combination of colors?
Dear boys it doesn't mean that you use ten different colors in one go, unless of course you want to look like a modern art painting!
Rule#1
The combination of the right colour
There are not all colors seemed fitting when matched. You need to choose the right color combinations to get the maximum effect

Here's the preview of Guilty Bytes shoot on color blocking for Men, along with the golden rules#
Rule#1
The combination of the right colour
There are not all colors seemed fitting when matched. You need to choose the right color combinations to get the maximum effect
Rule#2
Rule#4
Combine bright colors with a neutral
To provide a lighter touch, wear an item with bright color, then select a neutral color for the rest. In case you choose a bright T shirt then you can wear an earthy/neutral colour jacket on top
Rule#5
Experiment with solid colored shoes
If colorful clothes make you want you think and then re-think, begin by experimenting with colored shoes. Red/Tangerine/Blue loafers look good with blocked pants
One shade of colour
If you are not brave enough to crash the color, you still can wear this trend by wearing one color from the shade of the same color from top to bottom

Ahaan... a post for boys... I liked it :)
ReplyDeletei ma glad u liked it! But hey it's just an irony that more women can express themselves on the web and write about a thing called Fashion! And for the ones like us, we are trying to cater to the untargetted niche, hopefully people like it! and yes for the spamming part, let me check on to the technical stuff ;)
DeleteYou're doing great!! :)
DeleteAlso it gives a feel that only girls in India wants to write about fashion. Boys are not interested at all in this niche. That's pretty wrong!! This is such an untargetted niche!!
ReplyDeleteAlso worth mentioning, please don't use captcha for comments. Spammers don't spam blogs hosted on blogger, hence you won't get any spam comment on your blog. Rather i would suggest you may moderate the comments.
He looks really nice! I will tell my guy to experiment and try the first look too ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sania. Well in that case i hope you guy likes it too ;)

I'm never that adventurous with it comes to colour blocking. But most guys of Shillong are really into fashion, I've seen a few guys daring to colour block. Kudos to the model who helped you out. But I must say your tips are really helpful, I'm sure a lot of guys will be doing this after reading your post :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment and visiting. Sure I'd love it if we followed each other (Thnx for following) (:
Have a nice day!
