Have you seen the new color trends for fall 2012? According to Pantone.com, the top colors this coming season are: French Roast, Honey Gold, Pink Flambe', Tangerine Tango, Ultramarine Green, Bright Chartreuse, Olympian Blue, Titanium, Rhapsody, & Rose Smoke. Some of them sound good enough to eat!
And what about fall fashion trends? I always get a kick out of checking Fashion Week reveals to see what patterns, textures, colors and styles to expect for the upcoming season.
I have to admit though, in some cases I used to think, "Who do they think would really wear that?" And then I heard someone say that the runway looks are to inspire you to think of the possibilities. That made much more sense to me.
Here are a few of the upcoming trends (& a few of my fave's) for fall 2012. It'll be here before you know it! {*Sources & photo credits: Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, Elle, Stylist}
Black and Navy = Together {♥} Love
Monochromatic White {♥} Dreamy
Hunting and Fishing / Leather and Laminates
Military
Oversized coats and shawls (I think it's pretty - very Grace Kelly)
Intricate embroidery patterns and knit tweeds
Other trends mentioned? Reptile print, jumpsuits, gold glitz, suits, ornate tapestry Renaissance style, velvet, bold mini-floral prints, feathers and fur accents, blanket coats, headbands and statement hats. Really? I couldn't resist ending with this one.
I do love the Oscar de la Renta headband with a dash of bling, but the hat? Looks like the head of a the giant cartoon character...but remember - it's to inspire. not to wear. I guess.
