What Do You Know About the Colour Blocking Trend?
Today’s article is dedicated to one of the main trends – the colour blocking style. This trend is a combination in one ensemble of two or three bright colours, which are largely opposed to each other. The most striking example, you can imagine a girl dressed as a traffic light – a red hat, yellow sweater and green trousers. But let’s take a closer look at this trend.
How is colour blocking being used?
This trend applies, by the way, not only to clothing but also to makeup. But in clothes, it allows you to choose colours “on the edge”, while with makeup you should still choose more wearable shades, unless, of course, we are not talking about a special image for an event or a photoshoot.
Dresses that combine bright colours are very standout in themselves, so the best cut for these outfits is minimalistic. By the way, it is minimalism that goes hand in hand with the colour block on the catwalks of this season. Designers and stylists know what they are talking about. So, if you dare to try on this trend, stop at modest geometric styles. If we talk about dresses in colour block style, then the best styles for them are the A-line, straight lines and sheaths.
How to mix and match colour blocking garments?
Colour blocking is not just a combination of different shades. These can be two or three main colours of the spectrum, or their main transitional shades. Most often, these are opposite colours of the spectrum or two adjacent ones, or their intermediate tones. The main thing is that the difference between the colours is obvious enough. The most trendy and vibrant colour block combinations are red and green, blue and yellow, yellow and purple, blue and green, orange and blue, red and purple, orange and green, yellow and green, red and yellow, and so on.
How to choose colours for colour block?
The easiest way is to combine neighbouring colours in a colour ring since the ring is created on the principle of transition from one colour to another. Red is combined with orange and purple or pink, yellow will benefit from a combination with light green and mustard, green – with turquoise and light green, pink – with hot pink and fuchsia and so on.
The second way is the combination of complementary colours, namely, the use of opposite colours in makeup – yellow and purple, red and green, blue and orange – a huge scope for creativity.
The third way is three colours that are in an imaginary triangle inside a colour ring, for example, blue-yellow-orange, chocolate-pink-peach, dark blue – red (hot pink) and white, orange – green – purple, yellow-green – red; yellow – purple-red.
