Color blocking Fashion is getting more popular, more mainstream. But this concept has been around for a long time!
And in this heat & humidity, what to wear, looking fresh & fit is the goal!
Let's dive into a simple fashion Blocking Splash-Tip, involving 3 or 4 colors, usually, for best results!
Now, opposed to true layering, with color blocking, each color covers a different part, of the body, for the best visual effect!
It's a simple "dimensional" coloring concept!
For example: Visualize, for almost any body shape, a well-fitting red vest, light blue & white horizontal, thinly striped short sleeve T-shirt, blue jeans, brown loafers & thin brown leather belt!
The red vest will pop out at you, as 2 vertical frontal splashes of color, followed by the horizontal stripes, softening to the thin brown belt, blue jeans, as 2 vertical lower splashes of color, into brown loafers!
Play with this picture: Substitute the red vest, with a dark blue vest or, switch this picture to red jeans! It's totally different! And, may be overwhelming, visually, for certain body types!

(Just offering a short list!)

Now, considering "metallic colors, sequins, shiny fabrics, better play with it!
"Less can be more pleasing!"
*
More color combo's, to consider:
Take a bright blue suit, with a white shirt, & a red tie!
Take a good look, take a visual picture!
It all pops!
There is nothing wrong with it!
But, if you were to match the same bright blue suit, with a off-white shirt, with a blue, white & yellow speckled tie, take another look!
Take a dark brown suit, tan shirt, with a striped tie!
Or, not?
