70 Cool Color-Blocked Looks

From Whimsical Mod Fashion to Neontastic Color-Blocked Spreads

— January 30, 2012 — Fashion
Every spring season, designers go color happy, creating color-blocked looks that can be as subtle as pairing taupe and chocolate or as bold as the combination of neon yellow, bright orange and electric blue. Whatever their decision for colors, you can bet there will be many, many color-blocked looks come spring.

Providing a chic way to add color to your ensemble, color-blocking is one of the easiest ways to update any spring look and it gives everything from suits to dresses a vibrant twist. Some haute colors to mix and match together this upcoming spring are tangerine, canary, fuchsia, cherry, cobalt and kelley green -- take your pick! And make sure you check out this collection of color-blocked looks to inspire your next color-blocked ensemble.
