In addition to accessories, there are countless ways to incorporate color blocking into your day-to-day style! A great way to make a statement without having to buy a completely new wardrobe is to color block full pieces.

The idea of pairing a bright shirt with an equally bright pant may be daunting, but when coupled correctly, the look can be extremely chic!

The look can also appear heavily elevated and easily translated into a night on the town. Many dresses like this one from ASOS and this from TIBI incorporate multiple blocks of color within one garment.

Naya Rivera wore this bodycon color block dress to the People's Choice Awards, earning her a spot on every best-dressed list. You can get this look for less here!
