Whether you’re a fan of matchy-matchy separates, or partial to some multi-hue panelling; colour blocking is a long-standing trend that can be easily worked into your everyday wardrobe. The trend was found awash at #LFW – at Hermes, Marni and Valentino, to name but a few – meaning it’s never been more on-point to pack a colourful punch with your spring looks.
The Colours –
The ‘IT’ shades of the season, as dictated by the fashion powers-that-be, are found in a lush palette of spring brights that’ll send thoughts of February snowstorms packing quicker than you can say ‘adicolour’. Speaking of, adidas Originals’ latest collection presents a no-brainer approach to colour blocking separates, from zesty lemon to classic pillarbox red. Whether you want to show off your style credentials in a forest green T-shirt dress, or kick back in matching trefoil hoodie and timeless 3-stripe leggings – this collection is the perfect way to dip your toe in the trend.
Monochrome –
One of our current favourite ways to work more than one trend into our #OOTD is with a monochrome popper pant; taking us back to the ‘90s without a scrunchie or blue eyeshadow in sight. With styles from Ellesse, adidas Originals, Supply & Demand and Kappa to choose from, it’s all about conveying your personal style with the little details.
Panelling –
If top-to-toe colour feels a little daunting, you can still get in on the trend in subtler ways. One of the (many) beauties of sportswear is that pieces often feature piping, panelling and colour accents; meaning an investment into that co-ord you’ve been eyeing up will still take you through the colour block trend without a sitch. Nike Air have the daytime trend on lock with their Colourblock Crew Sweatshirt, whilst those looking to flaunt the trend when breaking a sweat will be all over the Nike Training Power Colourblock Tights.
