The world of haute couture is experiencing a surge of hype around the new passion of leading designers - the Color Block style. If the royal role of previous seasons was made up of various variations on folklore themes, then in the 2012 season, pure and rich colors will be popular.
The literal translation - color blocking - cannot give a complete picture of what clothes will match the ideal. But a quick look at collections from Gucci, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Zara or Benetton demonstrates the charm that is certainly inherent in the color block style.
Already, the owners of luxury clothing boutiques are literally buying tons of T-shirts, pants, dresses and leggings, preferring products of simple cut, but bright colors. And with the advent of spring, a color revolution will overwhelm us. To see this, read our article "Fashion Trends Spring-Summer 2012".
Where do legs grow from the Color Block style?
The main factor in the formation of this trend is the need to dress practical. Going to a fancy restaurant or theater requires a luxurious dress. But everyday life, filled with constant worries, needs appropriate attire. Pretentiousness is out of place if you go for a walk with the dogs or shopping, relaxing in nature or learning to ride a bike. The world is tired of absurdities and excesses, therefore it requires fashionistas to be natural.
The second factor was the desire of girls to express themselves. And what better way to embody an emotional state than a kaleidoscope of color shades?
What do you need to know about color blocking trends? Tips from the site shop-ultra.ru
- All clothes and shoes should be as simple as possible, otherwise they will look clumsy on you.
- The uniqueness of the style is largely based on the uniformity of the fabric. Forget about rhinestones, embroidery, appliqués and vignettes! In fashion - geometric shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles.
- No need to dress up like a parrot, trying to match an outfit from a dozen different colors. Clothing that contains the entire palette of the rainbow can only have an adequate look in designer clothes, on which outstanding craftsmen have worked gloriously, subtly feeling the fine line between beauty and excess. It is better to choose a few colors that are pleasing to your eye and be able to harmoniously combine them in your clothes. Ideally, the number of flowers should not exceed 3-4.
- An integral part of the style are leggings that match the color of one of the items in your outfit. However, buying them in large quantities is still not worth it! Save your finances, because it is enough to choose a few high-quality pairs of different colors to complement your wardrobe.
- Since it will be quite problematic to completely update your entire wardrobe, you can go for a trick: add bright accessories or elements to your existing plain clothes. This technique is especially effective with white dress shirts or tunics: a bright belt, elegant wedge shoes and massive plastic earrings will work a miracle - ordinary clothes will turn into an example of Color Block style before our eyes.
- The colors of the blocks must be combined with each other. Try experimenting with red-blue-yellow or orange-green-purple tones. Such combinations will almost always look beautiful. The main thing is that they match your skin type and hair color.
- Catchy colors require their owner to have excellent taste. Therefore, if you manage to combine explosive shades, you can safely think about the career of a fashion designer! Who knows, maybe the Coco Chanel of the future is dormant in you, capable of revolutionizing the fashion world!
