This trend is probably something we've all seen before. Get rid of the blended patterns and put together bold, simple, and saturated colors to create an even more interesting look. It has always been huge during the spring, and although it's fairly popular, there are unique and newer ways to handle this trend. Instead of pairing two extremely bold colors that really don't match, try pairing one bold color with a neutral that compliments the color. This effect is best done in a single clothing item, so instead of thinking about this trend while putting together outfits, try it while shopping. I knew I wanted a dress that used the color-block trend, so a few weeks ago, I went online to Madewell to find one. I found a perfect collared dress with a definite split between the two colors -- white and a bold blue (the dress I'm wearing in the photos above). The shapeless fit of the dress and the contrast between the blue and white gave off a mod look that is perfect for spring but that also used the color-block trend perfectly. Because the two colors are in a single dress, the trend is more obvious and creates a far more interesting outfit than pairing a white blouse with a blue skirt. To complete the look, I opted for my strappy black sandals for yet another simple color. And to finally contrast with the white, black, and blue, I wore berry lipstick, which even furthered the color-block trend. Overused patterns can get to be extremely dull, so one of the best options is to mix simple colors for a new and modern look.
