Based on matching opposing colors from the color wheel, this spring is guaranteed to be filled with vibrant blue and orange or solid purple and yellow garments. Here are five striking pieces in a mix of color blocked patterns to add radiance to your wardrobe.

Pleating Short Dress, Tibi Edith, $995, tibi.com
