Colourblocking Finery! When Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Hina Khan, Shraddha Kapoor Paid an Ode to the Fierce Trend!

The ever-evolving world of fashion is whimsical, innovative and experimental. The much-loved and bold trend of colour-blocking is omnipresent. The Bollywood brigade too has paid its ode to this raging and now evergreen trend time and again. The underlying principle of combining different colours and hues to create a more modest colour pair or go wilder. While ethnic ensembles with their bright and festive colour blocking finery is a regular affair for us, doing so in contemporary western ensembles is a tricky trend to confront. Ahead we rounded up a style capsule of colour blocking vibes from the style directories of Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Hina Khan, Shraddha Kapoor to allow a lesson in the finer nuances of acing this vibe.

Modern at its core, colour blocking as a trans-seasonal vibe allows even the dullest neutrals of tan, camel, grey a new lease of life with that generous pop of vibrant color. Additionally, colour-blocked outfits are best accompanied with only with minimalist accessories.
