Blocks and Stripes


We have already posted and expressed our love for the new color block trend and when I found this image I just had to share it. The stripes look amazing with the solid bright hues. Her whole look is fantastic and I will definitely be trying it very soon. Now if I could only get my hands on that bag...

Color Block

Color blocking is not a brand new trend but even as someone who is always on the lookout for fashion inspiration I don't see many people wearing the style. While pulling clothing for our most recent fashion show I got to experiment with the idea while putting together a scene dedicated to the look.

A few guidelines that I like to work with:

1. What works best for this style is bold solid pieces. Pastels are too whimsical and if there is a print you usually don't get the same effect. 
2. The look is best with three pieces as opposed to just two, showing a real comparison in color. Which of the two pictures above intrigues you more?
3. Try to use colors on opposite sides of the color wheel to add more interest.
