TALKING TRENDS: The Clash

A big trend that’s carrying over from the summer is a clash of colors. A great look to give maximum impact during a time when the normal color palette of the season is usually subdued with blacks, greys and browns. This look has been huge both on the runway and with celebrities. Runway images: Preen, Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Milly (InStyle.com) Who’s been color blocking you might ask? Only Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Jessica Alba, Blake Liverly and Cameron Diaz, just to name a few.

HOW TO WEAR: Color Clashing Sarah Jessica Parker in  Prabal Gurung Sarah Jessica Parker in a Prabal Gurung runway look gets it right by sticking to just two colors and by not over accessorizing she keeps it clean. Caped blouse, $750, Prabal Gurung available at Saks Fifth Avenue.
