Trend Alert 101: Color Block


Color blocking has been here for years. It is not a new trend as such but definitely back with a shout out – BIG BANG!

Fashionistas all over the world are crazy about this new trend, that makes it one of the hottest new trend for the season. The total ensemble uses the combinations of two or more blocks of color. This could be for a dress, top, bottom or accessories like bags and shoes or jewelries.

Basically there are two ways to wear this trend.

• Clothes - a top or a dress that has solid blocks of colors next to each other. It can be monotone, bright colors, muted colors, contrasting, or complimentary colors. 

DRESS / BAG / SHOES 
• Accessories – you can wear a solid color of shoes or bag as your accessories in a contrasting color to your clothes. It can make up different blocks of color to be put together for a color block outfit.

• Just be careful in trying this trend, it is easy to go wrong with this if not done properly.  Pair your color block outfit with other basic colors such as black, white, brown or gray. Let your  color block pop out and look polished.
