How to Wear It - Irish Examiner - May 28th

HOW TO WEAR IT....Colour Blocking
Make a statement with fashion’s boldest trend. Annmarie O’Connor shows you how.

Outfit 1
Keep it simple. Wear one strong colour head-to-toe for a lengthening and silhouette-slimming impression.

Royal blue Paradisa maxi dress, Reiss €245
Jaeger cuff, Harvey Nichols €80
Brian Atwood Maniac suede heels, Brown Thomas €545

Outfit 2
Transform your desk-to-dinner wear with a simple change of shoes. The Royal blue / Kelly green combo makes a statement without adding further accessories.

Long John racer back vest, Reiss €50

Dim the lights on fluro brights with a denim blazer. Create visual interest with a contrasting colourful print like Prada-esque stripes.
