Color Blocking

Ladies one trend you must follow this summer is the color block trend! It requires that you incorporate two or more blocks of colors into your ensemble. This could be for a top, bottom, tunic, a dress and even a handbag or shoes. Color-blocking can include monotone, bright, muted, contrasting and complimentary colors. Clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories can all feature color block designs or can make up different blocks of color to be put together for a color block outfit.

Look at the color block spin on the classic Lady Dior handbag and an artistic Marc Jacobs, color block inspired clutch.

Color blocking is not limited to just clothes and accessories, it can extend to your makeup and nails as well.

However be careful and don’t overdo the color blocking trend because you can go from looking bright and chic to clownish and crazy. Don’t be shy, experiment but do not mix more than three or four colors.

Here are some pictures of the color block trend on the runway and some trendy celebs.
