However, these days a lot of people aren’t following a set rule for color blocking, they are just pairing colors that are pleasing to the eyes.



Tips to Consider

- Pair colors you already like.

- Go thrifting if you decide to try the trend. You don’t want to spend money on a trend you may not like.

- You have to be confident. Don’t be afraid to show off your style, imagination, and mood.



Now let’s get into some ways to try the color-blocking trend.

2. Try complimentary colors! Opposite colors on the color wheel pair well together and doing this lets people know that you have an idea of what you are doing and you’re not just pairing random colors.



3. How about a monochromatic look? This can be done by picking a color and then adding shades and tones of the same color. You can do this with other pieces of clothes or with accessories like your shoes or bag.



4. Go BOLD! Pair a saturated/bright color with another saturated/bright color. This one is risky and not for weak but it’s worth a try. Color block like this and you are showing that you are full of personality and aren't afraid to show it.



5. Finally, take it easy! Find a piece that is already color-blocked and add another piece that is one of the colors from the main piece. This way you are pulling on the colors from the main piece, and you don’t have to think too hard about styling the look.





It is easy to get caught up in the different trends that come around, but if color blocking is one you want to try then give it a shot. You may never know; you might like it.
