Colour-block is a classic trend, for women and men. The contrasting palettes usually are (commonly seen) between bright colors but these days, color-block could as well be found between classic muted colors. And the latter ones are what are usually considered safe in menswear. Although, as time progresses, more men have bravely embraced a bolder color-blocking.
Color-block conveys a certain visual freshness and dynamic to one’s wardrobe of choice. The contrasting colors infuse vibrant nuance that feels more alive and spiritful. And these days, high fashion brands have embraced this trend and adopting it for menswear trends on the fall-winter 2021 runways.
Zegna, Berluti, and Fendi – for example, incorporate and mixed art with tailoring and paired bold colors with men’s favorite classic to muted earth tone palette. The collection oozes sophistication yet a relaxed attitude. Like what ZEGNA did for the brand’s Fall-Winter 2021 collection. While Fendi and Berluti Fall-Winter 2021 collections could be seen marrying artistic elements like painting and graffiti with tailoring and vivid colors.
At Fendi, accessories come in red or yellow and a coat featured fun colorful graffiti details paired with shocking pink mittens. At BERLUTI, purple pants are worn with a shirt and bomber that are vividly inspired by the artwork of Lev Khesin.
Gone are the days when the fall-winter collection tends to be dark, dim, and less alive. Even for menswear.
