15 Easy Colourblock Outfits To Wear This Summer

If you’re looking for a fun, easy way to update your wardrobe this summer, then look no further: colourblock outfits are the way to go. Mix and match your favourite pieces in your wardrobe for a bold, colourful statement that will definitely make you stand out from the crowd. If you’re looking for an easy way to get in on the colourblocking trend, then read on for some easy outfits that you can style this summer.

Amped-up Jeans

Ease your way into the world of colourblocking by pairing your favourite pair of dark or black jeans with a statement top. Try to find a top that has a design similar to the colour of your jeans to really tie the look together. To take it a step further, play with different shapes to add more interest to your overall look.

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.

Get the Look:

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.

Get the Look:

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.

Get the Look:

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.

Get the Look:

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.

Get the 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.

 

Get the Look:

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.

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.
