FALL FASHION WEARABLE GLAMOUR

rich colors, textures dominate fall’s trends

smart, charming and elegant, fall fashion 2011 is suited to make any woman feel like a confident, well-dressed lady. as seen on the runways during new york fashion Week fall/ Winter 2011, fall fashion focuses on a rich color palette, texture, and attention-grabbing coats.

the season’s color palette is a mix of warm fall foliage colors and cool nighttime hues. saturated shades of blue and plum exist harmoniously with crimson, pumpkin, and mustard. Many designers, notably reed Krakoff, paired fall’s palette with neutrals like black, gray, and winter white to soften the rich pops of color and add warmth.

texture morphs fall’s colors from soft to bold. chunky knit sweaters, comfortable jersey dresses and leggings, and sheer chiffon layered tops are effortless ways of wearing the soft and cozy texture trend. edgier textures appear in the form of leather jackets and lace dresses as seen on the runways of oscar de la renta and Michael Kors.

fall’s colors and textures merge with posh details on the season’s most fashionable coats. fur linings and hoods dress up parkas. trench and wool coats have ladylike tailoring. Blanketlike capes emerge with leather epaulettes while the silk lining of fur coats exude luxury.

fall fashion 2011’s enchanting colors, touchable textures, and thoughtful details combine to make women feel good — and when you feel good, you look good. [aWM] scheels this summer, let the colors of the season be your guide. august rush brings bountiful berries — strawberries, blueberries, blackberries — and these are the perfect hues with which to try a brave new hair color. Pair your punchy new shade with a wild style and you are on trend for the end of summer! red is the new statement color. from fire engine to copper, the bolder the better. and blue-eyed babes — you’re in luck. red hair will make your baby blues pop! if the idea of a permanent color change leaves you red in the cheeks, then consider faking it with some feisty extensions. a vivid combination of rich purples, blues, and teals is a striking way to get some attention — when you want it. these daring colors look great contrasted with dark-hued hair.

Bright colors deserve an equally bright style. think ’60s inspired backcombed shags. or tousled, messy fringes. for the truly adventurous, let a stylist create an avant garde look that’s all your own. these confident colors and wild styles are for the spirited and spunky, but if classic colors still catch your eye, then be beautiful as a blond. from golden to beige to white blond, you’ll look terrific if you pair it with a layered, textured cut. so go on ... color your world. We dare you! [aWM]
