Want to make a statement by wearing color? Or even stand out by daring to combine unexpected pairings? Then you should take a closer look at the <strong>Color Block trend.<\/strong> From the runways to the wardrobes of fashionistas, <strong>this eye-catching style is everywhere<\/strong>. But anyone can make it their own. And that\u2019s the whole point of <em>Color Block<\/em>: to play powerfully with hues to boldly express your uniqueness. How do you do it? Stay with us, in this article, we\u2019ll share <strong>3 tips<\/strong> to <strong>master the art of dressing in color.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Color Block (or Color Blocking)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Color Block<\/em> is the idea of <strong>combining bold colors to create a stylish effect<\/strong>. But what kind of style? Well, it\u2019s your style, one that reflects your personality, much like an extension of your own nature by wearing vibrant clothing. So, the rule is to have fun, to dare to express yourself. But be careful, not just any way, because there are certain rules we\u2019ll discuss later to avoid fashion faux pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, <em>Color Block<\/em> is also about <strong>building your outfit around a color<\/strong>, rather than a cut, a piece, or a material. So, we focus on the combination of several blocks of bright, strong colors whose nuances we need to understand. The result should ensure that <strong>your outfit is cohesive,<\/strong> <strong>harmonious<\/strong> and stands out with a striking contrast and an eye-catching composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think it\u2019s enough to rummage through your wardrobe and grab colorful clothes that might go together at first glance, think again! <strong>Adopting the Color Block trend<\/strong> is an art form. And it can be learned. We\u2019ll show you how in the rest of the article.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image caption-align-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"367\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/londonfw-20170220-4255-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6446\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/londonfw-20170220-4255-1.jpg 367w, https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/londonfw-20170220-4255-1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><figcaption>London Fashion Week.

You have two ways to do this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Emphasize the contrast of colors: this is the most common way to create a stylish effect and surely the easiest to implement. For this, choose two colors that are far apart on the color wheel and combine them. The combination should be vibrant! For example: red and blue, yellow and purple, or blue and green work very well.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Focus on the contrast of shades within the same color. (Example: khaki green and apple green). With this choice, you can adopt a total look without risking bad taste. And it\u2019s also the play of textures that will add your signature. Go for oversized with a suit or knitwear and a flowy skirt. Pair it with fuchsia pink heels, and your outfit will be over-the-top!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image caption-align-center\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"367\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/michelle-20150309-0382.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6452\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/michelle-20150309-0382.jpg 367w, https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/michelle-20150309-0382-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><figcaption>Michelle Elie &#8211; Paris Fashion Week.

By daring to mix &amp; match bold shades, you already add a whimsical touch to your outfit. Adding floral patterns or prints could weigh down your look. However, some fashionistas brilliantly manage to wear pieces in bold colors and patterns. The exercise is somewhat challenging but not impossible. If you\u2019re an adventurous spirit and fashion is your playground, just find the piece that will enhance your aura. A sleeveless jacquard knit is a good example. It pairs very well with a colored satin shirt.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image caption-align-center\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"416\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/color-block-paris-fashion-week.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6449\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/color-block-paris-fashion-week.jpg 416w, https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/color-block-paris-fashion-week-227x300.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><figcaption>Paris Fashion Week. Source: Sandra Semburg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have Fun!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, to have style with <em>Color Block<\/em>: <strong>have fun<\/strong>! Now that you understand how to integrate the two previous rules to perfect your look, it\u2019s time to dress with uniqueness because, as previously mentioned, this trend is also a means of expression and power. Wearing color is about embracing a personality, a mood, or a style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shimmering orange, the flaming red, the exclaiming pink, the charming purple\u2026 each hue has the meaning you choose to give it. So, have fun in front of your mirror experimenting with combinations that reflect the person you want to be. This way of dressing inevitably brings confidence and style. Don\u2019t hold back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if you need inspiration to perfect your colorful outfit, take a look at the runways. Haute couture houses like <strong>Bottega Veneta<\/strong>, <strong>Galliano<\/strong>, or <strong>Yves<\/strong> <strong>Saint Laurent<\/strong> have also played with bold styles, mastering color codes to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t limit yourself to clothing style! Have fun coloring your nails, for example. For that, <a href=\"https:\/\/us.modalova.com\/zine\/cam-tran-asserting-ones-identity-nail-art\/\" class=\"ek-link\">check out our article on Nail Art<\/a>. It\u2019s a fantastic playground to express your identity, just like makeup.
