Wait a minute… didn’t Summer just get started?
It may feel that way, but September is here, which means that Back to School shopping has begun!
Color…
The Fall 2012 color forecast is an unexpected mix of darks, brights, and neutrals. Think dark chocolate brown with a splash of pumpkin orange… titanium gray and honey gold…deep olive green with a punch of red… and THE color of the season, a rich and cozy shade of burgundy. Red plaids and tartans are classics, and bohemian prints in rich Autumn hues will be popular, as well as graphic black and white prints. Take a look at the Pantone Fall Fashion Color Report for 2012. These are the colors that you will see in stores.
Style…
Skinny jeans are here to stay, but many designers have adjusted their silhouettes for a better fit and greater comfort. Lots of layers featuring texture are a good way to transition from cool Fall mornings that turn into warm afternoons. The classic navy peacoat makes a comeback, and riding boots will be a perfect versatile and comfortable accessory for your Fall wardrobe.
Accessories…
Other key terms to keep in mind while Fall clothes shopping are faux fur accents (emphasis on faux), sweater dresses and wedge-heeled shoes. Sheath dresses and beautiful velvet and brocade fabrics are all here to stay. Glossy leather handbags in burgundy or maroon are trendy yet wearable. Anything embellished with mixed metals keeps the trend of a statement necklace going strong.
