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:

Bullet Keep it simple. Make one of the three colors your focus, with details and highlights of the other two.

Bullet 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.

Bullet 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.

Bullet 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!
