Color block, or color blocking, is a trend that cannot go unnoticed: it combines blocks of intense, contrasting colors in a single outfit, creating a modern and bold visual effect.

This technique allows you to play with unexpected combinations and convey personality, elegance, and creativity through color. 

And, of course, jewelry can be a great ally to enhance or balance this style.

What is Color Block or Color Blocking?

Color block consists of wearing solid, contrasting, or complementary colors without patterns or gradients. The key lies in the harmony of tones: classic combinations like blue and yellow, red and pink, or more daring ones like green and orange can create striking and sophisticated looks.

This technique is not limited to clothing: shoes, bags, and even jewelry can follow the color block rule, reinforcing the style and creating a cohesive, eye-catching ensemble.

Types of Color Block

There are several ways to apply color blocking:

• Strong contrasts: Combine colors opposite on the color wheel, such as blue and orange or red and green.

• Complementary tones: Mix colors that balance each other, like pink and red or blue and green.

• Monochromatic blocks: Different shades of the same color create depth and dynamism.

• Color block in accessories: Incorporate jewelry and accessories that reinforce or contrast the color blocks of your outfit.

Ideas to Join the Color Block Trend

• Mix solid-colored garments with shoes or bags in complementary tones.

• Combine top and bottom pieces in contrasting solid colors.

• Add colorful gemstone jewelry to enhance the palette: amethyst, citrine, aquamarine, topaz, garnet, peridot, tourmaline, or lapis lazuli.

• Use metallic accessories like rose, yellow, or white gold to balance more intense colors.

Jewelry That Complements Color Block

Jewelry can elevate a color block look from bold to elegant. Some recommendations:

• Earrings: Statement pieces with a gemstone that highlights one of the outfit’s colors or provides a subtle contrast. For example, a pair of emerald and diamond earrings for a red and green ensemble.

• Necklaces: Short or long 18k gold necklaces with colorful gemstones like sapphires, rubies, tanzanite, or citrine can complement your outfit’s palette.

• Rings and bracelets: Accessories with stones like amethyst, lapis lazuli, or peridot add color and sophistication without overwhelming the look.

The secret is to choose jewelry that reinforces the harmony of your color blocks while highlighting your style in an elegant and balanced way.

Color block is more than a fashion trend: it’s a way to express yourself through clothing and accessories. Pairing color blocks with the right jewelry allows you to create a sophisticated, modern, and personal look.
