Planning Your Fall Wardrobe
Everybody wonders what to wear to be stylish for the next season. Fall 2013 is right around the corner and it's time to start shopping. Picking colors out is one of the most important steps. How do you know what is right?? Looking in magazines can give you some help but you want to know what works best in your own closet, that's still your style while following the fashion guidelines.
According to New York Fashion Week this past February, where the styles were shown for the fall the colors vary but emerald should still be in your closet. Remember it's the color of the year!
"With the changing season, the greens from spring evolve and develop. Multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate, bringing luxury and elegance to the palette, while yellow-toned Linden Green brings a lightness and brightness to the deeper shades of fall. Try pairing both with Mykonos Blue, a bold, meditative blue, for a classic and relaxed fall look.
Exotic Acai adds mystery and richness to the palette, and can be incorporated with the other colors to create a number of powerful fall combinations. Pair the elegant shade of purple with Emerald for a regal disposition, or spirited Samba red for an expressive and dramatic look. Koi, a decorative orange with dazzling and shimmering qualities, is a statement color that serves as a pick-me-up for your wardrobe. Vivacious, an unruly and wildly deep fuchsia, adds an ebullient sensuality to the palette.
Pair Vivacious with anchoring Deep Lichen Green, a naturally lush shade of green, for a dynamic juxtaposition that captures both ends of the seasonal spectrum. Rounding out this season's cornerstone colors, Turbulence, a dark mercurial gray, and Carafe, a rich, glamorous brown, provide more interesting and sophisticated alternatives to the black basics usually worn in colder months. Both staple neutrals pair gracefully with more expressive colors within the palette, such as Samba, Koi and Vivacious." (Pantone)
Besides the colors you can't forget the styles.
Styles from Fashion Week that are said to be must haves include:
Velvet Burnout Dresses
Moss Green cocktail dresses with soft draped neckline and Black lace overlay
