The joy and playful mood of summer finds a way of expression through colors. It is no coincidence that during summer, the days become sunnier, and we want to add more colors in our wardrobe. They will definitely lift up our spirit and they will give us the energy to experiment.

Surely you have heard, especially in recent years, the term of Color Blocking. This is a very impressive way of dressing that more and more women adopt regardless of the season, winter or summer, expressing their feminine dynamism and strong personality.
What is color blocking?
Color blocking is the mix and matching of colors, usually more than three 3. A combination that may seem out of place at first, but in reality the outcome is very impressive!
Creating a color blocking ensemble is not an easy task. You need special attention to the combination of colors, as well as a lot of practice. It is also very useful to know some basic styling rules around color blocking that will help us have a bold look that works.
How to properly match colors to create your own Color Blocking.
-
Until you obtain the skills of color matching, a good start will be color blocking with no more than three different colors.
-
If you are in the mood to play the game of colors, start with those colors you love to wear the most. Choose 3 colors (or more) that have the same quality. This means that they are just as intense and do not contrast with each other.
- Shades of white, black or gray not included in the Color Blocking color palette.
-
If you want to use pastel shades, combine them with each other, ie Pastel + Pastel.
-
Create a “monochromatic” color blocking, choosing colors from the same color group but in different shades. Keep in mind that in this case we want to achieve strong contrast with 3 shades or more, of the same color!

You can achieve impressive color blocking by choosing colors that belong to completely opposite color families. In that case a color wheel to guide us will be very useful. Place a triangle over the wheel and the three corners of the triangle will lead you to the three colors with which you can experiment with!
