Color Blocking with Separates
When it comes to color-blocking with separates, the easiest way to pull off this look would be to pair a bright hue with a neutral hue. Once you've gotten the hang of it, pair two bold colors. If you’ve already gotten the hang of it and you’re actually daring enough, wear a bright colored Jovani cocktail dress with a bright colored pair of tights and shoes! If you want to get retro, rev up the look with colorful accessories as we mentioned above. However, if you’re a beginner, try starting with a neutral top in either nude, black, or white and a bright colored bottom! Those neutral colors will work well with bright colors, allowing you to have fun with your look!
If you come to the point where you are unsure as to what colors to put together, take a look at a fashionistas best friend, the color wheel!
Colors opposite from each other, usually work the best when worn together. Red & green and yellow & blue are basic primary colors that works well! Whether it’s tied together within a dress, with a mixture of accessories, or paired with separates, it works!
Take a look in your closet, and play dress up with a bunch of your colorful clothes. See what works, and see what doesn't! When you figure it out, try incorporating this color blocking trend into your look.
