Red, Green, Purple, Orange, Yellow, Pink, no matter whether big or small, colour block bags add just the right amount of color to your daily outfit.

The color block trend is sweeping the runways. Colour block bags are a simple way to add a contemporary twist to an outfit. I assure you that a grey T-shirt and jeans paired with a fluo coloured clutch will look thousand times better than with a massive black shoulder bag... If you want to incorporate the colorblocking trend into your wardrobe, start off with accessories such as bags, scarves, belts, jewellery and shoes.

How to approach the trend? Instead of answering, let me show you some styles from the Burberry fashion show, where the neutral background formed by leather coats and jackets, was broken up by spectacular neon coloured clutches and belts.

Don’t be shy to experiment. Any colour combination is fantastic if you can pull it off properly.

If you’re still a little colour shy, you can start off with necklaces, bracelets or head bands.
