Get to Know: Colorblock

This season it’s all about mixing and matching colors, whether they’re in the same family or even opposites.

Colorblocking adds an unexpected pop of color to any article of clothing, whether it is a dress, shirt or even trousers.

Forever 21 has a vast array of color block outfits. This crochet colorblock cami dress ($45) is perfect for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend and would look great paired with sandals for a casual look or heels for a night on the town.

The trend can also spruce up a work outfit. This fire red (that’s the actual color name) and black ruched-sleeve Nine West blazer ($56.99) adds a twist to any office look. The sleeve length works well with the changing temperatures, for those days its warmer outside but colder in the office.

This color block pencil skirt ($39.99), available in emerald green/ black or space blue/black is super slimming. Since the side panels are black, the eyes draw automatically to the middle creating an illusion of a smaller waist. The skirt pairs perfectly with a black top to match the side panels.

You can create your own color blocking as well by pairing different colors together. For instance, if you have green pants, you can pair them with a yellow shirt for a pop of color. To take the trend even further, you can also add color through your accessories as well. The options are endless and up to you.
