Colour blocking is a trend I didn't expect to see again, but panelled dresses like Pippa Middleton’s are back

Pippa Middleton attends the 2012 US Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 4, 2012 in New York City.

The world of fashion seems to be revisiting a lot of the biggest trends from the 00s, as we have seen a resurgence of items like Sienna Miller's boho wide disc belt and low-rise jeans, but one that I hadn’t predicted to see back on my shopping radar was the colour block dress.

The bold contrast panelled dress was a huge look back in the day. In fact, I think we've all owned one at some point in our lives, right? When I think about the trend, I picture A-listers like Victoria Beckham in one of her own colour block designs while at Wimbledon back in 2014, and Pippa Middleton rocking a neon-toned dress by Paper London in New York back in 2012. Pippa’s bold look was one that I absolutely loved at the time, and her outfit makes for chic inspiration more than a decade later, as the trend is most definitely back.
