There was a time when I would think of pairing garments as per the color wheel. But thanks to colorblocking, I can get more experimental. Colorblocking is definitely a rage this season and has been seen in geometric prints with short hemline. The mad about mod patterns focus on clean lines and fine fabrics with the 1950′s conservative cuts.
The hip and rebellious dressing trend is all about solid sophistication. It has this unspeakable coolness and style to transform you from a ‘Plane Jane’ to a diva. The revival of color is not only evident on dresses, but accessories, shoes, bags and even lingerie follow suit.
Now you don’t have to go over-the-top with colorblocking. For starters, experiment with RM Richard dresses that offer a subtle touch of drastic colors with a contemporary twist. Think printed dresses with ruffled solid color or contrasting jackets. Here are some other combinations that you can check out-
- If you want to get a little bolder, then pick out some put together some multi-colored pieces. A cool combination here would be dual colored leggings with a solid colored top. Or add sultry sophistication to a classic geometrical dress by pairing it with gaudy stockings.
- You can avoid disaster by avoiding too much of retro-y. Instead of combinations that you are not sure of, stick to old primary colors with pastels. A touch of neon can be added with accessories. Jewel-toned earrings, necklaces, shoes and bags do the trick
- Don’t look like a Rubik cube and avoid outfits that chop the body into too many sections. For instance, a three color top looks absurd. But the same trick can work on a knee length dress
