Every lady wants to look stylish and attractive. It is important to be able to combine clothes correctly, not only in texture, but also in color shades. In this article, we'll take a look at the color block style and how to use it to create a custom look.

Color blocking is the original art of combining vibrant hues. This is a real find for those women who do not tolerate dullness and are ready to stand out from the crowd, declaring their individuality. "Color block" in translation from English means "color blocks". This option offers to boldly place accents using color.

Let's consider its features.

• Bright and saturated colors. True, here it must be said that simple styles should be used in clothes. You should not decorate the image with prints, additional drawings, inscriptions. All this will not correspond to the stylistic orientation.
• Combine 2-3 colors in an ensemble. This will keep the harmony and style.
• Down with pretentious designs and overly flashy details. It is better to give preference to modest geometric styles. For example, choose a dress with a straight silhouette, A-line or sheath.

• The highlight of this direction is geometric inserts of bright colors, which are divided into blocks. By the way, such clothes can be successfully used to create optical illusions. For example, everyone knows that vertical inserts are able to visually stretch the figure of a person. So each lady will seem even slimmer.
• Great mood. This style assumes everything bright, which means that you can catch a positive wave, paint gray everyday life, recharge with energy and positive.
• An opportunity to reveal your individuality.Many women want to attract the attention of others, including the opposite sex. This can be done in a stylish and creative way. However, remember that measure is important in everything.

Color blocking is quite popular in all countries. Indeed, in order to be in a trend, it is not necessary to buy expensive things. One has only to carefully choose simple clothes by color. The main thing is to find the line between colorfulness and absurdity. You can dwell on one brighter color, and choose others more calm.

Experts recommend choosing your favorite colors for clothes and accessories. Then you will feel confident and attractive.

Bright colors will make a definite impression on those around you. If you want to be perceived as a creative person who thinks creatively, then you should choose the color shades wisely. Let it be two or three color spectra. You can choose adjacent or opposite tones.

The most successful options: red - green, blue - yellow, orange - green and others.

Also, a good option would be to use complementary shades: yellow - purple, red - green. Here you can show your imagination and create your own individual bow.

You can use the principle of three shades that are in an imaginary triangle. For example, blue - yellow - orange, yellow - green - red. Bright shades of coats, sweaters, and other items of clothing will create an impression of cheerfulness.

It is worth using the basic rule:

• 60% should be the main color;
• 30% - additional shade;
• 10% - accent tone.

If you follow these proportions, then your bow will be stylish and fashionable. It is worth remembering that the blocks of color will divide the shape. Therefore, if you have some problems with proportions, then you should be especially careful when choosing clothes. It will be better to hide problem areas with muted tones, saturated dark shades. This style, if used skillfully, will help to correct any nuances of the figure.

For example, you can wear a dress in a dark shade, and on top - a jumper, cardigan or windbreaker, an olympic jacket (if it is a sports version), a jacket (without buttoning). For a pear-shaped figure, wear dark colors at the bottom. If you have an apple-shaped figure, then horizontal blocks in the abdomen should be avoided. You can successfully highlight your legs by wearing bright tights. For the "hourglass" figure, it is advisable to highlight the waist area, draw attention to femininity.

The very first and most important thing is to decide on the desired color palette. Choose your favorite colors that will delight you every day. If you are just starting to comprehend the basics of color blocking, then it is better to stop at two tones. Choose neutral and bright. You will feel more comfortable with them. You can use beige, black, gray, white.

Then gradually add the third and fourth shades. Feel free to experiment. For example, if you are using white and orange in your clothes, then you can add a little coral. It can be a bag, bracelet, manicure. The main thing is to combine everything organically.

We should also say about the make-up. Many people think that if you use a bright sweatshirt, brown cardigan, sneakers of a different tone, then you can safely choose colorful makeup elements. However, this is not at all the case. Regardless of which direction you have chosen in the "color block" - sporty, feminine for a date, office dress code (if the company allows more "lively" colors) - you should show restraint in makeup.

There is no place for shine, bright shadows, colorful lipstick. The main tendency is to find calmer natural tones. Give preference to beige, brown, soft peach to emphasize the natural beauty of the face. So you can effectively place all the accents, look stylish and fashionable, and not defiant.

To emphasize the style, it is worth choosing the right tone, accessories and all items of clothing. Consider popular looks.

• Dresses. Clear and contrasting lines suggest minimal decor. You can combine dresses with shoes with straight heels, but not with stiletto heels. Choose a solid color bag so that the image does not seem too colorful. It is good to use side contrasting inserts on the dress. They will help to visually make the waist thinner.

• Skirts. An original skirt can be combined with a simple top. It can be a white top or a neutral top. He will successfully emphasize the image. The model can be complemented by an unpretentious decoration.

• Hoodies and sweaters. The image using such clothes will be casual and fashionable. You can successfully create sets with trousers, jeans and plain skirts.

• Evening bow. Long dresses and even overalls are suitable for special occasions. Such outfits can be used by confident and courageous girls who are not afraid to attract attention. You can decorate the bow with a solid hard clutch.

• Coat. Outerwear should overlap with shoes that are simple and comfortable. Models can be chosen on a platform or wedge. It is allowed to use a bright handbag, which will become the accent of the whole bow. At the same time, the tonality of all clothing should be more subdued and in harmony with the accessory.
