This is how the colorful styling pops

Hardly anything goes better into spring than trendy color-blocking looks. However, the following applies: fashionistas should not overdo it with the colorful play of colors. If you want to make a statement with bang-out outfits, you should limit yourself to three to a maximum of four colors. A wild mix of materials should also be avoided. This is how spring becomes colorful.

For beginners: choose an it-piece

The most important rule of color blocking: it is only successful if a clear colored contrast can be determined. It doesn’t matter whether this contrast can be found in just one piece or is caused by several items of clothing or accessories.

For beginners, it is therefore usually easiest to initially only choose an it-piece that contains several colors. Oversize sweaters, dresses or coats are particularly suitable here. The rest of the outfit should be kept more subtle or pick up the colors of the core item. Another simple variant: design the outfit in monochrome and provide eye-catchers with colored accessories.

Different color families make up the look

For a harmonious color-blocking look, it makes sense to choose colors from similar color families. Orange, pink and red go well together, as do blue, purple and green. But it gets particularly exciting when tones from different color families meet. Fashion influencer Leonie Hanne (33) shows it. She combined bright blue trousers with her lemon-yellow coat and strappy sandals. In order not to steal the show from the contrast, a black turtleneck sweater completes the outfit.

This is where the key to styling success lies: When it comes to color blocking, you can step on the gas. However, if you want to integrate two, three or even four colors into the look, you should always make sure that muted colors provide the necessary balance and a little calm.
