Rules of Color-Blocking


Color-blocking which has been seen on the runways such as Lanvin has become on of the biggest trends of S/S11. Layering bold block colors is a killer statement but can easily go wrong, these are my five easy tips to stay runway ready!

1. Three of kind
Stick to only two or three colors, anymore to this equation will equal a costume. Two is great but three makes fashion forward look.

2. No clashing titans
The normal fashion rules don’t not apply, play with colors that usually wouldn't work like pinks and reds !

3. Keep colors on the same side of the rainbow!
It’s also works great to contrast two curious variations with more of a contrast g color, like pinks and purples against a loud lime green.

4. Boldly Brightened
This trend is all about bold bright colors and works best with the most vivid shades.

5. Plain Jane
The look works best with neutral accessories. Split the color blocks vanilla's, creams, blacks or grey s pursues and shoes.
