How can we execute the perfect “color block”? It’s a well-known styling and designing tool used by the biggest brands. Color blocking can really up your style game to the next level. You don’t need designer threads to get the look either. All you need is a little imagination. Here are some tips:

Taking colors that are opposites on the color wheel and then creatively paring them together to make interesting combinations is a fun way to achieve this look. You can also try different tones of orange and yellow versions to create a warm color scheme (also known as Analogous colors) to make geometric designs look sharper. If you are not familiar with analogous colors, it’s the color schemes that use three adjacent color on the color wheel. The more colors to pair the more accessories you can add to you look.

Happy styling!!

Metallic colors can be intimidating to approach, especially when it comes to dressing. But the secret is that metallic can go with everything. Just take this outfit post as proof!

We thought we’d pair this very bold metallic purple skirt with a contrasting black & white blouse and accessories. The black and white blouse with the purple skirt hold each other well. They are both bold and strong pieces in the outfit but do not overpower each other. And to pull the outfit together we thought to throw on a simple pair of high ankle boot heels and socks! But regardless of whether this skirt were metallic purple or metallic pink and gold or silver, it still would look great with a t shirt or well designed blouse.

Today’s outfit post is dedicated to the balance of repetition. Here at Fashion Frequency we’ve always had a bold approach to fashion. A good example of that is through our love of finding new and different ways to wear repetitive prints, fabrics and colors. Some would stay away from wearing stripes on stripes or denim on denim, but not us!

For today’s outfit post we put together a lace on lace look that we balanced out with simple colors and bold accessories. We really wanted to pull together a double lace look without making it feel to busy, so we paired two different kind of laces in different sizes. The oversized lace on the flare trousers really balance out the more fine and delicate lace we threw on top. The solid and quite colors of both also help blend the two fabrics that would otherwise clash. And to wrap this look all together we paired the two laces with a multi colored fur accessory and some killer sunnies.
