2013 Fall fashion color trends


2013 Fall color trends
It is the time of year when the days get shorter, a cold breeze is in the air and fall fashion trends emerge.  The Pantone 2013 fall color trends are a great tool to reference when you are wanting to add some fresh colors to your wardrobe.
  This fall the color trends are a mix of different emotions.  The deep colors that is typical of fall create a sophisticated feeling.  The bright pink, orange, and red create a very vivid and lively feeling.  Unique shades of green carry from the spring/summer but are less bright which is refreshing for the fall and creates variety.  The purple and orange deepen from spring and the neutrals this fall get deeper with a great balance of warm and cool with the use of grey and brown.

Below are the summaries for the Pantone Fall 2013 color trends and a link to the full article.







Fall Fashion Trends:
I truly love fall and enjoy reading my Vogue and InStyle September issues.  Below are some fall fashion trends I am seeing.

  • Menswear
    • Use of hounds tooth, plaid, herringbone, structured jackets and tailored pants. 
    • Men's style shoes 
  • Floral prints
  • Animal prints
  • Stripes
  • Houndstooth 
  • Graphic patterns
  • Leather jackets, skirts and pants
  • Simple elegant design with lots of structure and very little details
  • Plaid - Which is influenced by the 90's coming back in style
  • Deep wine pants, sweaters and accessories
  • Large statement necklaces with lots of sparkle and mixing of gold, silver and gunmetal
  • Larger sweaters with skinny jeans and pants
  • Fuller skirts
  • Lace
  • Bright winter coats
  • Cap-toe shoes
  • Strappy boots
  • Ankle strap shoes
  • Stacked heels
My favorite fall trend is the menswear trend and houndstooth.  I bought a houndstooth jacket and I can't wait to wear it with my wine colored skinny pants.

Have fun adding some new fall items into your wardrobe and most importantly, stay true to your own style.   Embrace the trends that are your, push yourself a little to try something new, and find clothes that flatters your figure.
