2) No prints; whilst attempting to achieve the perfect colour blocking look don't include any clothing with prints as this will distract from the look your trying to achieve and will make your outfit too fussy.
3) Nude or black accessories; You want the clothes to speak for themselves, you want them to stand out and look bright and fresh, therefore keep your accessories simple so you don't distract from this.
4) Wear with confidence; this is an important rule for any trend but it is essential for colour blocking as you're creating a bold statement, so keep your head held high and wear with pride.
5) Avoid detail; try to avoid frills and tassels or too many pockets as this will take away the impact of the overall look.
