The Style Science of Colorblocking
The color-blocking trend is back this year with a modern twist. We expect to find neutral color-blocked pieces and lots of color-mixing trends as well.
So, what is color blocking? Color blocking simply means that you pair two or three different colors together to make a bold statement.
When creating your color-blocking look, there are two key components to keep in mind: styling techniques and color scheme.
Styling
Monochromatic - use one color throughout your entire look in different hues.
Mix pieces of two or more contrasting colors to create your look.
One color-blocked garment or accessory is how we see most color-blocking in fashion.
Color
Complementary - this color combo method works well if you want to make something standout.
Analogous - this color combo approach is more harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
