You've probably heard the term color blocking before. This trend has been reflected in the streets for a number of seasons. Literally, color blocking is the use of colored 'blocks' in your outfit, for example a solid black hat, red top and blue skirt. But it can also be one item consisting of several 'blocks', such as a bag that has a different color on the right than on the left. You will find all kinds of examples of this colorful trend on Peter Hahn's website.
The art of color blocking is to combine 'the right' colors in your outfit. The correct colors can differ from year to year. That is why we tell you here which color combinations are completely hot in 2017, so that you will not miss out when choosing a color blocking outfit.
- Green and yellow – If you wear an outfit with these striking colors, you will immediately be the sun in your house. The green-yellow color combination sounds intense, but is oh so nice and provides a fresh and summery look. Plus, you won't be making a fashion flop if you don a green garment this year; the color has been declared the color of 2017 by the Pantone color institute.
- Light blue and light pink – Pastel colors are perfect for spring. This combination of soft colors seems subtle, but if you style the colors in the right way, your outfit is a real eye-catcher.
- Red and denim blue – Jeans with a red top, sounds super simple, but how many people do you actually see wearing a red top or sweater? The striking color red scares many people off, especially when the entire item consists of this color. Give it a try and see how many positive reactions you get.
- Cobalt blue and turquoise – These two colors look great together. Take a cobalt blue basic item, for example a dress, and complete your outfit with dazzling turquoise accessories. For example, a turquoise bag, hat, and/or a wide belt would look very nice on a cobalt blue dress.
- Orange and black – Orange is not only a color that can be worn on King's Day or during football matches. An orange item goes very well with beautiful black accessories or clothing. The contrast of the two colors gives a great color blocking effect.
