Trend alert: colour block

The recent weeks devoted to fashion and street style are clear evidence of this trend. This fashion trend, which emerged over a decade ago, is back and has taken over the catwalks with blocks of bright colours (with Gucci in the forefront). Colour block is back with a vengeance to mark a new age: the age of energy and of colour.

What does colour block mean in fashion?

Green and orange, blue and red, fuchsia and orange, yellow and blue, pink and orange, purple and green... The colour block trend is the best response to the minimalist current and neutral colours that have dominated recent years. In other words, it means combining clothes of different bright and vibrant colours to create very appealing looks that are full of light.

The final effect makes a strong impact because you can get a very interesting contrast between different shades of colour. Very suggestive variations are also added to the current trend, such as pastel shades and iridescent, fluorescent and satiny colours. Would you like to join this cheery, colourful trend? Read on and find out how you can include this look in your day-to-day life!

How to use the colour block trend

If you only use colour to cheer you up at certain times, the time has come for you to focus on colours and optimism in your looks for this season and, if you want, change how you dress and present yourself to the world. How should I use the colour block trend? Are there tricks for combining the different colours? Of course there are! We’ll share some of them with you so that things will go well when the time comes for you to join this trend.

Go for basic clothes and textures in plain colours (no prints) to avoid a very heavy look.

The rule of thumb is no more than three colours per outfit. That way, you won't be mixing shades and you’ll get a good colour balance.

As you know, besides colours, you can also include pastel shades, from lilac to mint, yellow, pink and baby blue. And whether you go for the pastel range or the brighter spectrum, the secret is combining colours that are opposite or complementary on the colour palette to achieve a more harmonious visual result.

What are the prettiest and most attractive colour combinations?
