Amped-up Jeans

Retro Jacket
Throw it back to the 90’s by topping off your look with a colourblocked windbreaker. If you want a super affordable option, then head to vintage and charity shops to look for colourful jackets. Finish off your look with some oval sunglasses for a full on 90’s vibe.

Shades of Red
A no-brainer way to plan colourblock outfits is to pick one colour and then choose items that are different shades of that colour. For a bold yet feminine look, opt for different shades of pink — red and pink are a hot combo right now — for a colour block outfit that still looks sophisticated.

Athleisure
Colourblocking is so easy to style for any occasion, even a gym sesh! Colourblocked athletic wear is not only a super cute way to style this trend for the summer, but it will also pump you up to get active and sweaty. If you want to be functional yet stylish, then an athletic colourblock outfit should be your go-to this summer.

Primary Colours
Primary colours are perhaps the classic way to colourblock. You can style your outfits with separate items in red, blue, and yellow, or find one item that does it all for even simpler styling. If you want a bright, yet easy outfit for summer, then definitely mix and match primary colours.

Matchy Matchy
Why not grab a friend and have her join in on the colourblock trend? You can achieve double the impact if you and a friend dress in similar outfits but choose contrasting colours to style them in. This might not be a look for everyday, but it will make for a fun, quirky summer look.

Graphic Sweater Dress
If you’re a big fan of t-shirt dresses or over sized sweaters that you can just throw on before heading out, then why not try taking it to the next level with some colourblocking details? With an outfit like this, you really don’t have to try too hard to look great. This is one of the colourblock outfits that is great for cosy nights in.

Colourblocked Shoes
If you’re really not prepared to go all-out with colour but still want to try the colourblocking trend for summer, bright shoes might be the easiest option. Plenty of brands have released trainers in primary colours or colourblocked styles, so you can still get away with wearing a basic outfit but have a pop of colour for some added interest.
Get the Look:
Muted Monochrome
Cheat your way through the colourblock outfits trend by choosing an almost monochrome outfit then adding in a second pop of colour through accessories. This can be great if you don’t want to go for a super bright palette, as you can style your light-washed denim or grey pieces and then simply add some brighter pops of colour for a more muted colourblock look.

10. Sleek Lines
Colourblocking doesn’t have to make up your entire outfit. In fact, even choosing just one colourblock detail can make your outfit pop. For this outfit, pair your favourite basics with a pair of trousers that have a colourblocked side stripe . This is a fuss free and super comfortable outfit that will be great to wear this summer.
Get the Look:
Pretty Pastels
If you already have a ton of pastel items in your closet, it can be super easy to turn these into colourblock outfits too! Simply choose pastels in contrasting colours and try to match up your accessories to one of the colours you choose, in order to tie the whole look together.
Get the Look:
Black and White
Make colourblock outfits work for nighttime by styling black and white pieces. The contrast in the colours still gives off a colourblock vibe, but is not quite as loud as using bright, summery colours. Go for this look if you want something glam or simply something more night time appropriate.
Get the Look:
Statement Coat
Your outerwear can really make or break your outfit, and in the case of colourblocking, a statement jacket or coat can totally take your look to the next level. Invest in a jacket with cool colours or details so that you can throw it over any basic outfit and turn it into an easy colourblock outfit for summer.
Get the Look:
Sporty Style
Cop cute sporty style without actually going to the gym by choosing typical active wear items and styling them in cute colours. Try colourblocking a graphic tee with cute running shorts for the ultimate breezy, summer look.
Get the Look:
Rainbow Cropped Top
Here’s a colourblock option for lazy girls everywhere. Simply find a cute rainbow cropped top and you can style it with literally everything and look like you’ve colourblocked your look! This is a super fun and extremely easy look to put together for summer.
