Spring Trend: Colorblocking

i am really excited to have Bethany from Scarves.Net posting today.
she has great fashion tips and i have really enjoyed getting to work with her with the hopes that her fashion sense gets rubbed off on me :)
today she is talking about the new colorblocking trend which, honestly, i am more scared to try than pattern mixing.
but Bethany has great advice on how to make a bold statement without it looking too much like a rainbow exploded. i know it helped me have more guts to finally try it!

Want a dynamic, confident look? Just wear loud and proud color combinations known as colorblocking. Yes, a person must be brave, but it’s easy! This spring craze that is burning up the runways is easily perfected by strategically wearing solid blocks of bold and bright colors together in one outfit. The colors should be contrasting, yet still complement one another.

Still confused on how to do this? A rule shared by Style Prompt is to “make a triangle on the color wheel and choose two of the three colors that the corners touch. These colors will harmonize well.” Kind of like the Twister, right? Imagine the color wheel as the spin board and shout : “top-- hot pink, bottom -- lime green, scarf-- neon yellow.” Find solid pieces that resemble the triangle colors, wear them together, and presto – you’re colorblocking!

Still complicated? Fret not, many spring scarves, handbags, and shoes have already done the work for you. These pre-made colorblocked pieces are perfect for everyday wear! And they can save time if finding individual pieces fares too complicated.

This oh-so-wearable trend is everywhere. Get bold, get confident, fall in love with color, and don’t be afraid to pair unexpected pieces together!
