Brighten up any day by wearing color from head-to-toe.  This cheerful fashion trend is called color blocking.  With discount Plastic Jungle gift cards you can liven up your wardrobe and stay in trend without paying full price.

Not so sure how to color block?

When in doubt, consult the color wheel.  Colors that are next to each other look best when worn together.

Follow these simple guidelines and you’ll be on your way to walking out the door in your best color block outfits.

Yellowish-Orange, Orange, and Red look great together!

Wear a papaya blouse (available for 11% off of $29.95 from H&M with discount H&M gift cards) with a pair of yellow pants on bottom (available for 11% off of $24.95 from H&M with discount H&M gift cards) to work or for your next dinner out and you’ll master picking bold-colors that really pop when worn together.

Combine purple, pink, and red for a lovely look!

With a pair of red bottoms from JCPenny like these eastFifth Secretly Slender Cropped Pants (available for 20% off of $22 with discount JCPenney gift cards) and this boldly colored Worthington Oversized Shirred Top (available for 20% off of $16 with discount JCPenney gift cards), you can accent your outfit with a pink jacket or scarf and flaunt your color blocking skills.

Go with all blue-ish colors or all green-ish colors for a fresh feel!

Check out Macy’s BarIII Sleeveless Collar Polka Dot Printed Button Tie Blouse in aqua (available for 7% off of $49 with discount Macy’s gift cards) which can be beautifully worn with bold blue pants.  Also try Macy’s Brights Ruffled Dress in blue (available for 7% off of $104.30 with discount Macy’s gift cards) which is the perfect pair with a blue tote and blue shoes.

When color blocking, be thoughtful with the color and pattern of your accessories. 

When color blocking your clothing, if you can’t find the right combination of color for accessories (shoes, jewelry, jacket), go with something neutral in color.  Beige, gold, silver, black, and white are great ways to accent your color blocking outfits without overdoing it.  Just be sure to wear only one consistent color with our accessories.

When adding bold colored clothing and accessories to your wardrobe, be sure to pick up discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle first so you get the latest fashion styles for less.
