What is color block?
The color block is a trend that emerged in 2022 as a tool to combine two or more garments of different and striking colors to contrast a look. In this way, the objective of color block is to achieve a contrast between the different shades of an outfit, thus forming different color blocks. Hence its name "color block".
The year 2022 had bright and flashy colors as a trend, this year this cheerful fashion has decided to continue to be present. Therefore, the importance of the color block comes back to the forefront. And for all those who do not understand what this tool is and how to use it, in LAVANI we wanted to solve all your doubts.

Types of color blocking
There are three types of color block: monochromatic, with color contrast and with color families.
The monochromatic color block, as its name suggests, consists of achieving a total look in a single tone.
To achieve a color block with contrasting color you should choose two colors, one more neutral and the other more powerful. For inspiration, you can take a color wheel, and choose one of them, and to achieve the color block choose the shade just opposite the chosen color. And if you choose more than two colors, you can form an imaginary triangle on this wheel.
And finally, the color block with color families stands out for achieving a look of the same tone, but with different shades and gradations of it. For example, you can choose to wear different shades of purple: lilac, deep purple, bluish purple, etc.

Tips to learn how to use color block
The color block theory might catch your attention and you might want to apply it for some events or for your daily life. However, it can be a bit complicated to get it right the first time. The insecurity for having combined the wrong colors, knowing if those colors really suit you or not looking very you are some of the things that can go through your head.
Some tips to keep in mind to get a good blocked color in your look are to choose plain garments. The outfit will stand out for its colors, so there is no need for textures or prints. Also, if you think that bright and powerful colors are not your thing, you can opt for softer and lower tones.
If you are new to this and don't see how it can look good on you, you can start by combining neutral colors like black, white or nude. Add a piece of color and you will get a color block look.
Another trick we bring you is to play with darker colors and add them to those areas of the body that you want to conceal, and the most striking colors in the areas you want to highlight.
If you want to follow the color block trend, be aware of the colors that are trending this year. This will allow you to follow the trend 100%.
