Dulce Tejeda of Dulce Candy just posted a YouTube video, “How To Color Block Like A Pro!” It’s a great guide on how to color block, which is defined nicely here:
Colour block fashion is one of the hottest new trends for the season. It combines the use of two or more blocks of colour in an ensemble. This could be for a top, bottom, tunic, a dress and even a handbag or shoes. Simply it means – creating an outfit by putting areas or blocks of solid color next to each other. It can include monotone, bright colours, muted colors, contrasting and complementary colors. Clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories can all feature color block designs or can make up different blocks of color to be put together for a color block outfit.
Color blocking can be daunting, as it requires a knowledge of how color works and how to combine them. So Dulce’s video focuses on talking viewers through three different outfits to show how color blocking works:

I’m not quite sure what’s so daunting about combining colours. All you need to do is 1) combine colours until you find a combination that you like (since not everyone likes the same colour combos together) and 2) look up colour theory/colour wheels if you want to follow more specific guidelines.
I dunno if I colour block, I don’t really pay attention to that. I just put my clothes on :/

I do it without even thinking about it. My outfits rarely “match.”
