Hue's the girl?
Color blocking’s not for the faint of heart. It’s daring, eye-catching and so simple—once you get the hang of it. If you’re a newbie to this on-again-off-again trend, try minimal pieces like these dresses from Marimekko, which do all the matching for you. Feel free to leave the accessories at home to avoid a crowded ensemble, but complete the look with contrasting colored footwear. Our tip: orange and purple, red and pink, blue and yellow… Just go for it.

Why pick just one when you can have every crayon in the box? Bright colors are popping up everywhere—from clothes to home décor to the new iPhone. Start simple by picking items you already own, and match them with unexpected hues. Try it at home too, with colorful accents that will brighten up your flat.
