Trend to Try: Block Party

Stand out from the crowd this season in daring block colours that add a splash of bright to every room you enter. Stay true to a specific shade or have fun contrasting different tones for a truly out-there look. If you prefer to keep things simpler, make your outfit pop with jewellery and accessories instead.
