Next Spring/Summer we’ll all be going colour-block crazy. A fool-proof trend for even the least style savvy amongst us, as colour-block dresses will take the stress out of dressing.
There are two ways to nail this trend. If you don’t wear dresses mix together contrasting or complementary colours with various different skirt/shorts/trousers and top combinations… Possibly a little risky and hard to pull off, but the key here is to stick to the same colour tones. Channel SJP and Emma Stone and combine a vibrant pink bottom half with a colour-popping blouse, if you dare! Or opt for the easy way and throw on a colour-block dress.
Wearing colour-block dresses will solve the confusing colour conundrum, and save a lot of time! Dresses are available in ever y colour to suit your mood, from sophisticated nude and black to vivid green and blue. For inspiration look to the Spring/Summer catwalks, where you can find a huge number of colour-block dresses in both subtle shades and clashing colour. Top designers channelling the colour-block vibe for Spring/Summer were Gucci, DKNY and Marc Jacobs, to name just a few. But the good news is this trend doesn’t have to break the bank. Retailers have a huge selection of colour-block dresses on offer, at much more purse friendly prices. And you don’t have to wait until next season to snap one up!
ASOS have got a great selection of colour-block dresses at the moment, with plenty of choice for most occasions. A few favourite dresses are pictured, with prices starting at $57.54 for the eye-catching red and pink cut out mini dress, $65.76 for the abstract green and monochrome strapless dress, and the subtle monochrome, Gucci-inspired t-shirt dress is still great value at $73.98.
So whether you prefer subtle shades or eye-popping colour, will you opt for colour-block dresses next season?
