Still Can't Get Enough of: Colorblocking

Angela Swinderman Elias — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:00:30 PST

Colorblocking is a trend that continues to catch my eye, both in interior design and fashion. There are so many creative ways to experiment with this look. Whether you're mixing colorful solids or choosing a piece that balances several colors without introducing a print, colorblocking can be an interesting way to emphasize the way colors interact with one another.

Keep reading for some of my favorite colorblocking examples from around the web this week!

Trendspotting: Sporty-Cool Colorblock

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:38:58 PST

If the Fall runway collections from Rag & Bone, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Jil Sander are any indication, now is the time to invest in all things sporty - think body-conscious racerback tanks; slouchy, relaxed outerwear; and cool, graphic colorblock prints. We can also look to celebrities to glean some inspiration on the trend: Solange Knowles put a louche spin on the trend by pairing a colorblock tee with a pair of slim-fitting trousers while Kate Winslet dazzled in a supersexy Stella McCartney sheath dress, artfully contoured to streamline the silhouette. Additionally, Elisha Cuthbert made a sleek statement in a short-sleeved BCBG Max Azria frock. The sexy sportif trend is easy to achieve; just stick to modern, minimalist shapes, brightly hued colorblocking, and athletic-inspired silhouettes. Ready to get physical?

It's the smartest way to rework your basic black and white outfit: add color with accessories. Fab reader Chic-y did just that, creating a chic colorblock outfit using a neon belt and bright pink clutch to add a knockout color punch to her minimal but sophisticated black and white outfit. This outfit could go effortlessly from work to a party without having to change a thing. And might we add: we love her shoes.

Lake Bell in Colorblock Lyn Devon Maxi: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:00:22 PDT

I like maxi dresses, I dig colorblock, but for some reason I can't stomach the two together. Lake Bell wore a colorblock maxi Lyn Devon dress to a party for the designer in LA that has me flummoxed. The colors in her ensemble are punchy and the belt helps define her waist, but do you approve of the final product?

Fab Finger Discount: Old Navy Color Block Cardigan

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 10:00:22 PDT

Ever since I figured out the secret behind color blocking, I've been using it to my advantage. This Old Navy Color Block Cardigan ($15, originally $30) features a Chanel-y palette of black and cream. I like how the light detailing calls attention to the right parts while the black disguises. The longer cut is perfect for wearing with skinnies and cool booties. Can you picture it? Also, isn't it a dead ringer for this Tory Burch cardigan? Double the discount.
