While you might read this headline and cringe from the memories brought up of junior high school and the onslaught of dead baby jokes or whatnot. . . Colorblocked or themed wardrobes and coming out of the closet (pun!) as chic, bold and just plain attractive.

Taking a page from master graphic designer, Nubby Twiglet (above) today’s focus is the red, black, and white color-theme. These colors together speak of design, edge, and just a little sauciness. While no one will ever pull it off as good as the Nubs, here are some ways to infuse a little red, white and black into your wardrobe without looking like a Marilyn Manson knockoff:
Keep it simple. Make one of the three colors your focus, with details and highlights of the other two.
If you’re going to do it, go all the way. A sleek outfit with bad bed-head or sloppy makeup just makes you look crazy.
Look for interesting pieces. Black jeans and a red shirt is an okay look… But if you find a top with some neat detailing, or a cool cut, it’ll make you look that much better.
Wear it with confidence! If this is something new for you, don’t second-guess it! The more confidence you exude (authentic!), the better you’ll look.
Here are some fabulous options for your first pieces!
