Colorblocking is definitely in

Colorblocking is all the rage this season and you can see this trend from the house of Prabal Gurung to Prada, Gucci and Jil Sander. This retro trend is back with a bang! Fashion critics call colorblocking the building blocks of Spring and Summer 2011 collections.

What is colorblocking exactly? The term colorblocking is used to define a fashion statement where designers use solid swaths of color for a particular ensemble. Find them in dresses, tops, bottoms, handbags and even shoes.

The versatile trend offers something for every budget and personality too. You can accentuate your best assets with these different hues. The bright and peppy colors spruce up your overall style and rank high on the fashion quotient.
