Around the (Color) Block
Thu., Jan. 10, 2008 1:00 PM PST by Christine Yoon
Stars like Thandie Newton, Kimberly Stewart and Brittany Daniel are brightening up their winter days with funky colorblock dresses. (We especially love Brittany's Alice + Olivia number.) When trying this look, be sure to counter the graphic pattern with simple jewelry. A colorblock frock featuring clean, vertical lines will flatter all shapes and sizes. "Bright primary colors recall an almost childlike sensibility, so the look [tends to skew] more casual and playful," says Mar Yvette, stylist for How Do I Look? and senior editor for Citysearch.

1. I liked this trend ever since I saw it on Project Runway, and I can't believe how inexpensive the Kool Hearts dress is!
