On Trend: Colorblocking



Hey beauties! One of the hottest trends this season, aside from bright colors, is colorblocking! It was around last summer, but now it's back and it's amazing! I've put some pieces in a collage above to give you some inspriartion on what to wear for this season!

Colorblocking might seem like a crazy trend, hard to work with and impossible to pull off, but it's simple. Really. Take a simple outfit. Black pants, nude heel, plain jewelry. Add a colorblocked t-shirt, and BAM!!!!! Instant supercute outfit. By using simple pieces and adding bold details, you can easily become a trendsetter at your school or workplace.  If you don't want to splurge on just this one trend, you can also pair two or three bold colors together, as long as they contrast, not clash. Look at the color wheel, and pick a color. Let's use purple as an example. Look what color lies directly across form it on the color wheel. It's yellow. So pair yellow and purple together. If you want a third color, pick a shade that compliments both yellow and purple. So now you can effortessly pair a purple skirt over a yellow tank with a royal blue clutch.

I really hope this post helps you become more suited to the colorblocking trend. You probably own a colorblocked piece already. Stripes, whether wide or slim, can totally be considered colorblocking! Have fun exploring this trend, and be sure to follow for more fashion forward posts!

So, will you be trying out this trend ?
