Color Block: the trend that has returned to add color to street style

Hot colors in comfortable designs are trending this season.

The color block fashion has appeared several times in fashion weeks after its debut in the 80s. As the name implies, the trend brings blocks of solid colors that compose the look and can either coordinate a single tone or a mix of shades.

Given the desire to imprint more joy and optimism in real life, the return to the spotlight accompanies the new maximalism, which favors comfort and the choice of pieces more intentionally (such as to improve mood). In Beira Rio's footwear, you will find releases in coral, fuchsia, petal, and even Very Peri - the already known and acclaimed color of the year, elected by Pantone, a specialized company on this subject.

How many times have you found yourself standing in front of a store window "dating" a pair of super-colorful shoes to finish an outfit with this trend, but haven't had the courage? It's time to leave that insecurity aside! Mainly because, now, these designs reveal incredible details that are in tune with urban fashion, such as braided straps, metalized, sculptural heels that bring a relaxed design, and multicolors in the same shoe

Adding this vibe is easier than you think, and it is normal to hesitate when faced with shades that challenge our "habit" of sticking to the most basic, considered key colors, such as black, white, and blue. This way, we hardly ever take a risk, but it is possible, and simple, to compose casual and elegant looks, you know?

How to use the color block

To put together an ensemble, just use the tip that has been around the fashion world for years: use a base shade to put together the look and finish with some accessories, such as a bag, belt, scarves, and jewelry. Another stylish, contemporary, and minimalist way is to use the print on the clothes to choose the color of the shoes. If you are going to wear a dress with white or pink patterns, then choose versions in these colors.

Is it possible to invest in the lovely neutrals? Of course, it is. The purpose is to provide more coziness and calmness in the day-by-day, so mix varied blocks of earthy tones and let the shoes be the big star. All attention will be focused on its originality!

Want impact? Choose the intense, deep color that suits you best (red and orange are on the radar!). Thanks to maximalism, you can contrast as much as you like and be happy!

To not go wrong, you can use the chromatic circle to create the right compositions. For example, you can elaborate your look with analogous colors, such as pink and red, orange and yellow, or with complementary colors, such as pink and green or yellow and purple.
