The Colorblock Trend: What You Need to Try It!

If you've been eyeing the colorblocking trend, OnSugar blog Beauty and the Budget has the key pieces to get the look.

If you've been eyeing the colorblocking trend, OnSugar blog Beauty and the Budget has the key pieces to get the look.

The color block trend is one of the hottest trends right now, and it's a timeless look that will carry over into fall, too. Although this trend is fairly easy to pull together, there are a few tricks to help you master color blocking tastefully.

The key to this look is establishing two or three colors paired together. A purple top, green bottom, and an orange bag is one example. You can also throw in neutral accessories to really bring the look together. Your outfit should also be clean and chic—button ups or pretty blouses that can be tucked in to trousers will kick it up a notch!

What do you need to bring this look together? Bright basics in classic silhouettes! If you aren't up for wearing all bright colors, you can play with two colors from the same color palette, like turquoise blue and cobalt blue, or you can opt for a neutral colored bottom with a bright top and clutch, or vice versa.

To avoid looking like a walking color wheel, it is imperative to keep your color matching to a minimum of three and add neutral accessories.

To complete the look, try a nude polish with minimal makeup—it will make your outfit stand out!

Resort 2012 Trend: Bright Is Right

Our friends at Lucky magazine are always on top of the latest trends, which is why we're paying attention to this post on the bright trend for resort 2012.

Our friends at Lucky magazine are always on top of the latest trends, which is why we're paying attention to this post on the bright trend for resort 2012.

We are having a major crush on neon right now, so imagine how exciting it was to see so many of our love objects popping up in the resort collections. Bright colors are a visual trigger to thinking about the beach (“hot pink? Beach!” “Bright yellow? Beach!”) and they do wonders for every neutral (but particularly navy or khaki). In the collections, the sartorially adventurous went bright-on-bright, and that really stopped the show. We DIED for the cropped fuchsia jacket paired with a tangerine skirt at Giambattista Valli. For a more subtle take on neon, go for the white dress at ALC—ethereal and flirty with just a hint of fluoro yellow hidden on the inside hem. Dazzling.

Mulberry took a whimsical approach for its Fall 2011 campaign, featuring Tatiana Cotliar and Julia Saner dressed in pleated silk skirts and warm woolen coats among a colorful backdrop of foxes and birds. The lively setting — Saner was even pictured holding a faux fox at one point — evokes Fall to its fullest, and we like the modern mix of warm colors with a bright pop of Kelly green. Bags took the forefront with a motley group of Mulberry's classic chic styles such as the Taylor satchel and Polly push lock bag. Take a look at the rest of ad campaign — check out the awesome accompanying video here — then tell us what you think.
