Color blocking is bold and functional in just about every season from Spring to Winter. Its kinetic presence lends itself to being a wearable work of art. If you’re looking to incorporate sunny tones again in the summer or rich, moody tones in the winter, learning how to mix and match the right colors to match the season as well as your style, can allow you to create standout looks that reflect the weather. I’ve written this guide to help you out with color blocking for women’s fashion — here’s your seasonal guide to the best color pairings for spring, summer, fall, and winter.
1. Color Blocking for Spring Season: Share Some Pastels and Bright Neutrals
Now is the time for soft, pastel tones with big neutrals. Consider light pinks, mint greens, soft yellows, or lavender with whites or beiges. Begin with a pastel-colored dress or blazer and throw in a bright neutral such as white or cream to balance it out. To create a bold combination try mixing pastel pink and mint green and pick a neutral accessory like a white handbag to keep your color combo in check. That makes a springtime blooming outfit that’s fresh and playful.
2. Color Blocking for Summer Season: Bold Primary Colors, and Tropical Hues.
In summer, there are no quiet, quiet colors, summer is about loud colors, and it’s all about color blocking. Starting with bold primary colors like red, blue, or yellow, makes a good place to start. If you want to stand out this summer, pair a red top with blue pants, or a yellow skirt, for instance. Summer color blocking also works with tropical hues such as coral, turquoise, and lime green. A bright and happy version! You can even layer for swimwear or sundresses: Coral and turquoise for a refreshing beach-ready outfit, last with neutral accessories like tan sandals or a straw hat.
3. Color Blocking for Fall Season: Warm Cozy Colors and Earth Tones.
In fall they begin the color overloading game with rich earthy tones. Deep oranges, burgundy, forest green, mustard yellow. think. With these warm colors, these are very autumnal and cozy. If you’re planning to wear a burnt orange sweater over a burgundy skirt or trousers, try pairing it. For extra color pop, you can add a touch of mustard yellow to scarves or bags to play up the colors. Darker earth tones work best when layered in layers, much as leaves do, creating a color-blocked look that’s grounded but bold.
4. Winter: Jewel Tones and Dark Neutrals
The winter is a great time to dive into deeper, richer jewel-toned colors like emerald green, royal blue, plum, and deep red. These are royal colors that can complement your wardrobe with a wonderful regal touch as well as satisfying contrast with darker neutrals like black, charcoal, and navy. A jewel-toned coat or blazer in royal blue is a dream for black trousers or a dark neutral base. If you mix jewel tones you can create a rich dramatic winter look that is warm and sophisticated: think plum with emerald or ruby red with sapphire blue.
Color blocking is easily adopted every season so that you can keep your wardrobe feeling fresh and vibrant all year round. Whatever the season, color blocking can be mastered with pastels in spring, brights in summer, earth tones in fall, and jewel tones in winter. Play bold, confident, and play with your color choices and as your color choices begin to add personality to your seasonal wardrobe…well, that’s one way of putting it I guess.
