Are you the new kid on the color block?

Dominating the runways of Gucci, Jill Stuart, Marc Jacobs, Salvatore Ferragamo, Josh Goot, Marni, Lanvin and Chloe, color blocking is simply the art of  loudly and proudly combining bright contrasting colored separates in your wardrobe for a look that is instantly bold, beautiful and as cool as a tall glass of ice lemonade. The trend screams summer and is perfect for adding a fresh dose of drama to your hot weather attire.

When pulling a look together, team colors together from the same family like bright fuchsias and neon pinks or turquoises and royal blues or you can mix it up like Rihanna who paired a powerful purple sweater top with a electric pair of orange slacks.

For gals that live for basic black, balance the boldness of the bright colors with heavy doses of noire or add some pow to an otherwise dull black outfit with a citrus accessory like a striking orange belt, lime green bangles or color block booties.

And fellas, this look isn’t just for the ladies. Add a crisp color blocked tee to a pair of jeans for effortless summer swag.
