The trend for Spring 2013 is “color-blocking” which is essentially the art of

combining different colors into the same look. Due to its intensity, color blocking

may not initially attract women with a more subtle style. However, it is most

likable to the eye-catching boldness, the fashion runways have seen a

considerable increase of color-blocking in recent times. This particular variation in

color tends to filter slowly with caution in fashion, it begins an upward trend as

more women add it to their daily attire.

To construct this look, garments with explosions of color schemes

influenced by the 2012 season, especially vibrant hues like electric blue, yellow,

green, orange, turquoise, and pink, among other bright colors are chosen to

complement each other. This energizing trend, ideal for the sizzling days of

summer, has been used to brighten the gray winter season. In reality, any

garment can create this specific look, provided the colors used are not only

bright, but complementary as well. Blouses, pants, dresses, blazers and even

accessories are important aspects to achieve the desired effect. Some of the

most important brands that incorporate color blocking into their designs include

Gucci, Zara, Prada, and Missoni just to name a few.

Women who crave originality and possess strong personalities with

presence will be drawn to this contrasting look. For those who prefer less daring

apparel, try combining colors in subtle neutral shades or integrate bright color

combinations using accessories. Complementing the traditional black and whites

with bold necklaces, bracelets, earrings, shoes or bags engender a distinctly

modern and chic style. To build a color-blocking look that suits your personality

and style, look no further than REX FABRICS. Offering the most diverse selection
