Color Blocks Are Back In! Know how to wear them.


This Emanuel Ungaro Ruched Silk Chiffon Skirt is one of many new color block pieces. It's bold... So it's essential you know how to wear it confidently. I've made a playful display with many other trendy objects that I would use to play up this skirt confidently.

  • Cropped gloves add a nice warm touch that says, "I'm tough". However, in most indoor places, gloves are impractical.
  • The other article worn with color blocks should be the dullest color in the color block article, or a dark color that will not clash. With this skirt I chose a tank with frilly raw edge bows. (the frill draws attention from the skirt to the neckline, which is good when wearing such a bold skirt.)
  • Shoes! I chose to pair this outfit with a bold pair of Betsey Johnson platform sandals. Bold shoes give that extra hint of confidence that help you pull of this look, however, if you are not feeling quite that crazy, a simple pair of black rounded toe heels will do. 
  • Accessories: A scent! I chose one of my favorite scent, you choose yours! And a purse. I chose a basic black Chanel bag simply for the heavy gold looking chain. 
Have fun! Make it personal.

That's the issue here - you gotta be wearing it with confidence, or it fails miserably.

With that being said, it can look awesome when done right. Like the pic shows. Take the risk or play it safe? Hmm...

Chris, I can tell you're very fashion conscious by the approuch you use to weigh out the options. Just remember, with many fashion trends come risk! Keep in mind, that's the fun in it!
