Color blocking was a big topic last year (I can’t recall if it was mostly Gucci‘s power set that launched the trend). The trend hasn’t changed for this season: in spring, color blocking had been mostly done with lighter tones or pastels, which I loved for their fresh approach in starting the new year. For summer, a more vivid color combination is a great go-to everyday outfit. Color blocking is so easy – if it’s done right: one color goes on top, the other one on the bottom. Finish off with a neutral shoe in nude, tan or even gold if you want to go a bit more glamorous. Accessorize with more neutrals or add a third color (make sure it fits within your color range, though). I’m personally obsessed over this coral and navy blue color combo; you can find so many more great colour and print inspirations at Violet Boutique, so make sure to check it out!
