This is nothing extremely new since it was prevalent since late 2018, but I've been noticing a trend with fashion lately, where colors look more vibrant and contrasty. With color blocking, bright colors contrast with more muted colors, and you can really see this with the newer Tommy Hilfiger shirts or even Fila. Striped shirts are also in this trend, mainly with the use of bright yellows to dark green and grays, which is inspired by Xennial-era fashion trends, but also taking some cues from Y2K fashion to some extent.
While minimalist fashion is still ongoing, it is clearly being taken over by color blocking, but I really like the color blocking trend because of how vibrant it is, and celebrities like Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa have been using this aesthetic. But what do you guys think?

My eyes! Whelp, its nothing new, this has been around since the Xennial era (1988-1992) and it just made a comeback. You can say it's better than 2010s fashion if you'd like due to the MASSIVE BEHEMOTH hate of the 2010s...

But what do you guys think? color blocking was never a y2k trend it was a late 80s - early 90s trend There now seems to be a little mix mash with neons with colors that don't go alike, I would say Bille Ellish has no idea what she is doing and is in need of a stylist, I did like her Gucci Fit with the neon green she had a few weeks ago, other than that she has lots of misses.

But what do you guys think? I feel the "color-blocking" trend could work more if shirts and pants have different colors that are complementary to each other.

It's only the second pic that looks atrocious. The first one is good, I've been pulling the red/blue/yellow "my eyes, they burn!" combo since my high school days lol.

This is that type of 80's look we haven't fully seen back yet I've been awaiting. I actually like colorblocking in theory but it's all about tasteful color pairings. I have an Adidas sweatshirt like this in creamsicle orange and white which I love. But you seriously gotta be careful with some of those ugly yellows, which imo look much better paired with harvest-y colors than primary ones.

It's actually pretty interesting as there's a whole science to trying to match different colors together without ending with an absolute eyesore.  ^As you can see Billie Eilish' combo ended up being bad because she should have paired something blue or reddish purple to complement those lime green pants instead of bright red.

Actually, yeah. Green does not mix well with yellow, red, and blue after all...

Dark/military green is a very good neutral colour. Among those colour schemes, I always aim for "quadrilateral". Red scarf, dark green jacket, blue jeans, brown leather boots is always a solid combo for me. The trick is, if you have high-contrast hair/skin like me (black hair, light skin), then you can get away with contrasting colours (green/red). If however, you're like that blonde lady in the OP (light hair, light skin) then you can't, that's why she looks ugly with that fit. And also neon green in general is hard to pull off. IMO you can have ONE outrageous article of clothing, the rest needs to be classy/traditional.
