Mix your shades
Pulling off color blocking with sunset shades requires picking from the same tonal shades—a dusty pink with a faded orange, or a high saturation pink with a glossy red. For those who are a little more color shy, try pairing a statement color-blocked piece with jeans or black pants, or nod to the trend with two-tone accessories.

“Roksanda provided the ultimate lesson in sunset tones at her spring/summer 2023 show in London. Take notes from her understated use of color-blocking pinks, reds and oranges paired with contrasting black details, or opt for the all-out wow factor with her bold pink dress. It’s a great option for a wedding guest outfit.”

Go crimson
Using a touch of deep red tones is an easy—and sultry— way to bring sunset tones into everyday wear, particularly for evening attire. Take a page out of Et Ochs’ book and lean into the seductiveness of the color with slinky silk tops paired with tailored black pants, or go elevated with Andrea Iyamah’s structured suiting.
