Red is a classic color which always has a place in fashion. Although the fashion world can look forward to shades of red for the holiday 2012 season, red has decided to become a bit more prominent at an earlier date this year; that’s right, red is hot for fall.

Red hot red is on fire for the cool weather season and it is not just darker shades of red such as burgundywhich are making an impact this autumn season. Bright and fiery red is also on trend for fall 2012; and the bright hue is making no apologies.

Red is popping up everywhere and on everything for the fall season. There are bright red lips, red fingertips, red accessories, red apparel and even red jewelry. This outgoing hue is being shown both alone and as part of digital prints, color blocking and as an accent color.

Since red is a classic color which pops up every year for the holiday season, it is one color which should be easy to find in your closet at home. Look for bright red shades which can stand alone or be color blocked for a modern update.
Not that into red but feel like rocking the trend anyway? Red nail polish is an easy way to wear red in an understated fashion and also red gemstone jewelry makes a great investment while making a small statement.

What is your favorite way to wear red? Is this a color you love and relate to? Or would you prefer to stick to fall 2012’s darker red hued family; shades of burgundy? Whichever way you choose to wear red, you are sure to be noticed and to make a fabulous, fashionable statement.

Black and white is a classic combination which was hot for the spring/summer 2012 season. This timeless color combination was also spotted all over the fall 2012 runways and is proving to be a hot trend for the upcoming fall 2012 season.

Black and white has been spotted in fall collections by designers and brands such as Christian Louboutin, BCBG MaxAzria, Manolo Blahnik, Guiseppe Zanotti, Brahmin and more. This classic color combination is easy to pull together and black, white or black/white items can easily be found in your closet from past seasons. Since fall tends to be a moderate to warm season, white items from the summer season can easily be combined with heavier black items such as smoking slippers, motorcycle jackets and satchels to create the perfect fall season look.

It is no surprise that black and white can be found in every type of garment and accessory imaginable. The classic color combination is also easy to find in fall 2012’s prints which include animal and digital designs. Black and white can also be worn in a color blocked fashion; another carry-over trend from the spring and summer seasons.

The black and white trend for the fall 2012 season is a great time to shop your closet for black and white items from past seasons. This is also an easy trend to spice up with the continuing metallic trend. Silver accessories are a great way to add a little sizzle to a black and white ensemble this fall season! Love this!

 in Color Trends / General Fashion / Trends  tagged fall 2012 / red by

Burgundy, dark cherry, maroon, oxblood; there are several names and shades of burgundy which are traditional for the fall season. For fall 2012, burgundy is one of the more important colors of the season and has been mixed together with the jewel-tone color trend as well as traditional fall colors which have moved front-and-center this fall season.

Burgundy is an easy to color wear. The dark nature of the color is naturally slimming and burgundy can easily be mixed with dark neutrals such as shades of brown and black. Burgundy can also be mixed with navy, mustard, emerald green, rich shades of purple and dark berry shades as part of 2012’s modern color blocking trend.

This is also a color which can easily be worn during the day or evening. Burgundy for fall 2012 is also being found on garments, accessories and in make-up. Since there is such a large amount of burgundy inventory for the fall 2012 season out there, it is important to not go overboard and tonal with burgundy. Burgundy should be one piece of an ensemble for the fall season; with the exception of complimentary make-up hues.

One of the big ways to wear burgundy, maroon, deep red or oxblood this fall is in a handbag. A burgundy (or any deep shade of red or berry) satchel for the fall season is H-O-T and solid colored satchels, as well as color blocked satchels with burgundy in them, are right on-trend for the fall season.
