Have you attempted this spring's colorblock trend?
It feels intimidating wearing all those colors, but in reality, colorblock looks flattering, and creates one of the prettiest outfits for spring. However, if you colorblock incorrectly, you could look mismatched, or even twice your size.
To make your colorblock experience successful, here are some fashion tips on how to wear one of the hottest spring fashions for women.
1. Pick only 2 to 3 colors.
In my colorblock attempt (see pictures), I picked two bright faves.
2. Make sure the chosen colors are 2 - 3 shades within each other on the color spectrum.
Pink and red -- close but not the same.
3. Tone down the rest of the outfit.
A neutral under shirt and neutral shoes won't complete with main colors.
4. Wear separates.
No need to pile on the colors in one outfit. You can build colors piece by piece.
5. Don't wear a lot of accessories.
Let the bright colors be the star(s) of your outfit, not the bling.

Love this look! I did a lot of color blocking last year during the spring and summer. I am looking forward to doing it again.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Let me think about that. Color blocking makes me nervous. Not on you or other people, just about me doing it! You look great!

Color blocking is one of my favorite trends! Great skirt! A classic pencil skirt will never go out of style.

this is one of my favorite color combos. i do agree that neutral shoes are a must for color blocking. love the peek of your blouse under the sweater.
ReplyDelete[oomph.]
