Google defines colour-blocking as the use of contrasting blocks or panels of solid, typically bright colours. What they didn't mention is that colour-blocking, when done right, can transport you into the league of seasoned fashionistas in a jiffy. Technically, colour blocking involves the use opposite shades in the colour wheel, but you don't necessarily have to incorporate that into your personal style statement. Especially while sporting a sophisticated silhouette like a well-fitted suit, taking a subtler way is advisable. Ayushmann Khurrana's latest appearance in an extremely subtle colour-blocked suit is the proof of that.

The secret behind Ayushmann's super playful, informal appeal in a formal outfit is colour-blocking. Let us break it down into three easy steps.

1. Get a suit in a pastel shade (it works the best) or a vibrant shade like electric blue. The suit in itself does not have to include colours unless you're feeling super adventurous and actually getting it stitched - in which case you can use different/contrasting colours for the lapel, or even a particular section of the blazer.

2. This is the most important part - focus on what you're wearing inside. Here, Ayushmann is wearing a super cool shirt which is really acting as the cornerstone for the entire look. The shirt has colour-blocked panels which are extremely conspicuous but don't 'clash' with each other. The pattern is perfect for creating a flawless statement. Choose a shirt with similar colour aesthetics, or you can even choose a t-shirt if you're feeling a bit more casual. In a nutshell, pick a shirt or a t-shirt with a bold colour scheme that complements your suit and stands apart at the same time while not overpowering the suit.

3. Finish off the look with a pair of solid sneakers. Pick a shade from the outfit for best results. Or, if you're comfortable with it, go with a completely contrasting colour. Just be mindful of keeping it simple.
