Styling Terms
Colour blocking is combining two or more solid, contrasting blocks of colour in one outfit, with each colour kept distinct rather than blended or patterned. Inspired by Mondrian's art, it's a bold, graphic way to build a look from plain pieces.
The technique relies on solid colours meeting cleanly — a cobalt top with red trousers, say — so each block reads clearly. Pairing opposite or high-contrast hues makes the effect graphic and confident.
Knowing which colours flatter you (your colour season) helps you pick blocks that pop without clashing against your complexion.
