How do you combine VAUDE colors to create the perfect outfit?
Buckeye, Dark Sea or simply black - VAUDE offers over 40 colors in one season, divided into three color palettes. In this blog post, we explain the concept behind this and why VAUDE is relying less and less on color blocking.
Minimalist color concept
The colors at VAUDE are divided into three color palettes:
50 percent ALL-TIME CLASSICS
Long-term VAUDE brand colors. They contribute to the recognition value and are used every season.
40 percent SEASONAL COLORS
Last for three to four seasons.
10 percent TREND COLORS
Respond to short-lived trends. They are used for one season and set fashionable accents.
The number of colors is not increased. So if one color is added, it replaces another.
Styling colors and layers instead of color blocking
In earlier VAUDE collections, many models stand out due to color blocking. Color blocking roughly translates as "contrasting colors". The colors can be contrasted within an outfit, but also within a piece of clothing. This technique creates beautiful color combinations.
The disadvantage is that different color blocking pieces are difficult to combine with each other. That's why VAUDE is increasingly moving towards a layering concept. This makes you more flexible, gives you a variety of combination options and allows you to express your individual style even better.
Layer by layer to create your own style
Monochrome products can also be combined to create an infinite number of harmonious outfits. The advantage of this is that you can discover new styles for many years to come. This not only keeps your closet up to date, but is also environmentally conscious and sustainable.
Your advantages of single-colored clothing items:
- Durable products: High-quality garments remain in use for years
- Individual style: express your own style with creative combinations
- Timeless outfits : unlike color blocking, monochrome products are independent of trends
- Flexibility: products can be combined in different ways to create a variety of outfits

What's the best way to combine VAUDE colors?
There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to combining colors. Here are three techniques to inspire you.
1. Combine a natural color with a highlight
You can choose natural colors as the base tone for the jacket, sweater and pants and add an eye-catching accessory, such as a balaclava.
2. Tone on tone
Another good idea is to design your outfit tone on tone, i.e. in the same basic color but in different shades.
3. Head to toe in plain colors
Another technique is the head-to-toe combination. As the name suggests, try out just one color from head to toe.
