Decoding Fashion Trends. Color Blocking

What exactly is color-blocking?

Color blocking is defined as combining two to three (or more) bold and frequently contradictory colors in one ensemble to create an exciting statement piece. Color-blocking has cemented its place in today's fashion landscape, providing a platform for designers to push the boundaries of traditional fashion norms.

But, before you start putting your brightest pieces on display, keep in mind that color-blocking is a fine art, just like anything else. Choosing colors that aren't too contrasting is the key to nailing the trend.

Two colours that look stunning together in an unexpected way? Red and pink.


Some designers, such as Prabal Gurung, used style to draw attention to the color-blocking trend. Combining two bright colors, such as a teal shirt and an orange suit, is an easy way to experiment on your own.


Make certain that the colors you're blocking are all from the same color family: neons with neons, pastels with pastels. When it comes to color combinations, there are a few other standouts that work every time.


Pink and red, green and orange, purple and green, and orange and blue are all well-known color combinations. Consider monochromatic color-blocking for those looking for a quick and easy introduction.

We usually try to balance out a colorful outfit with some neutral pieces, like a black blazer or white sneakers. If you really want to nail the color-blocking trend, use bright colors like pink, green, and blue.



One technique for bringing this mismatched ensemble together is repetition. If you're mixing three colors, choose one or two of the same colors when selecting accessories or other items to complement your look.
