What is color blocking?

Color blocking is systematically wearing two or more solid panels of color in an outfit.  This can be achieved many ways, maybe with a bright colored blouse, handbag or tights.  It is recognized for being a bold fashion statement, but can be toned down to fit your personal style and comfort level.

Some tips on color blocking:

  • Don’t be afraid to experiment!  Color blocking can be fun and add some real flare to your wardrobe.
  • If you are worried about your body shape, no problem!  Use dark colors on your torso for a slimming look and add a pop of color to your arms, legs or accessories.
  • Try not to use too many colors at once, start off with a neutral piece and build from there, you don’t want to end up looking like a Rubix cube.
  • Some accessories have already been color blocked for you!  Utilize them in your day to day life.
  • You can even color block using your makeup or nail polish.

I spiced up a plain black top and skirt with purple tights and coral shoes and a blazer (which I scored at Chic to Chic!)  I grabbed my lovely green handbag which is another Chic to Chic exclusive.  This outfit is perfect for fall in the city, and I am excited to make new color block outfits.  Try it out for yourself and show us your color block looks!
