Here are five striking pieces in a mix of color blocked patterns to add radiance to your wardrobe.

PSWL Colorblock Knit Henley, Proenza Schouler, $395, proenzaschouler.com
Casual and cute, this sweater keeps color blocking in a more refined color zone.

Pleating Short Dress, Tibi Edith, $995, tibi.com
Accessorized with a large buckled belt, the navy colorscape of this dress downplays the color block trend for those who might not feel comfortable in the most vibrant of patterns. The tri-color combination of navy, light blue and white are subtle, however, it’s the edgy yet dainty style of the Tibi Edith dress that earns it the title of statement piece.
