Often, out of habit, we choose clothes in basic colors. This is hardly bad, because the images in black, gray or beige can be very stylish, but the trend of the season is the bright style of color blocking.
Then why not add more color to the wardrobe, especially since this is in line with current trends.
Geometry Lesson: Top Color Block Patterns
Color blocking is a combination of pure (sometimes contrasting) colors in one look. No gradient and smooth transitions. No halftones and prints. Only bright color. However, if you are not used to wearing active colors, then this is easy to fix. Gradually add color to your wardrobe. And we will step by step tell you how to make everyday images a little brighter.
Step 1. Brightness in accessories
The easiest way is to add color to accessories: a handbag or shoes made on the principle of color blocking look more interesting than plain models. So a two-tone or multi-color handbag will find a place in any wardrobe. You can wear such an accessory with monochrome sets, or you can complement a more vivid image (in this case, it is better if one of the colors on the bag matches the main color of the clothes).

Step 2. Where are we going to do the waist?
A good start to take the first steps towards color blocking is to opt for a dress or tunic made in this style. If you want to emphasize the waist, choose an outfit with contrasting lines that form the silhouette.
It is better to supplement the dress in the style of color blocking with a jacket or denim jacket, put on a set of sneakers, etc.

Step 3. Monochrome
A proven way to create an image in the style of color blocking is to use shades of the same color. The set will turn out relevant, since monochrome images are now in vogue.
Consider only two nuances: in monochrome sets, use things from fabrics of different textures, so that the image does not turn out monotonous. Or complement the look with a bag of contrasting color.
To create an image in bright colors, choose things of a simple cut so as not to overload the kit.

Step 4. 1 +1
The next stage is the base color, for example, black, gray or white, plus some bright color. A striking example from designers is a combination of black and yellow, it is worth using a ready-made offer.
If you are afraid to get lost on the background of bright colors, "take" the contrasting color down. For example, pick up a basic gray T-shirt (a suitable shade for you) and complement the look with a bright yellow skirt - the kit will look great.
