Color Blocking ♥

My favorite summer trend as of right now, is Color Blocking. It just has that summer feel! For those of you who don't know, what color blocking is, it's the combination of two or more color blocks used in an outfit. Whether that be, on a dress, blouse, skirt, or shoe, you can pretty much color block with anything! The colors can be monotone, bright, contrasting or complimentary colors! Even though it's a fun trend to wear, since there are uses of bright colors, it's something you can go wrong with easily. So the best way to pair color block trends whether it's shoes, or accessories are the basic colors, black, white, brown, and gray. That way you outfit will looks more polished and will pop more.

Here are some tips i you're gonna try color blocking:

  • Don't be shy to experiment with different colors! Any color combination is great if you pull it off properly.
  • First choose what you want to color block, then or the rest o your outfit, keep it simple, don't overdo it!
  • DO NOT combine more than three to four colors, that'll just make things look tacky!
  • Never combine two color blocked items together, that's just way too much color in one ensemble!
  • Keep it simple, don't go overboard with the color blocking or you'll end up looking like a kaleidoscope!
Here are some pictures and examples of color blocking, I DO NOT OWN THESE PICTURES

So remember, just have fun with it, don't think too much about the colors, and just don't overdo it, and you're set! Have fun color blocking! (:
