On Trend: Color Block

We’ve seen color block styles popping up all over the internet and thought we’d take a look at it through the lens of C&B. Started in the 1940s with an Yves St. Laurent color block dress, this style has been around for quite some time. But the trend didn’t really make it to mainstream culture until the mod movement of the 60s. Inspired by expression, experimentation and bright colors, this fresh incarnation has taken mod and made it current.

At Cottages & Bungalows, we love to curate and share our favorite finds from across the web with you. Some of the products you’ll see on this page are affiliate links, which means that if you click through and make a purchase, C&B will earn a small commission at no extra cost to you!
