COLOR trends change with the season. This autumn and winter, soft, classic camel and bright red are very popular with designers who have sent to the runway plenty of coats, blouses, dresses and pants in the two star tones. Another top color for autumn/winter is gray, which has gradually replaced black to become the most popular choice of hues in cool weather in recent years.
The great news is the three colors all look good alone, but if you don't want to wear one color from head to toe, you can also match any two of them -- the results are simply amazing.
The Passionate Red
Red, surprisingly, is another key color this season. Designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy and Yigal Azrouel have all revisited this classic shade in fresh new ways, creating either sexy dresses or warm winter blazers in hot red.
A woman in red is always the center of attention. If you prefer to be a little bit low-key, choose red accessories to make the most of the trend. A red belt, a red hat or even a pair of red gloves are good starters. Exotic jewelry, such as stacked bracelets or a bold statement ring in the joyful red tone will also spice the look up.
The Sophisticated Gray
Gray has replaced black in recent years to become a staple wardrobe color for cold seasons. This season, designers such as Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana, have mixed different layers of gray in their collections.
The color gray exudes sophistication and refinement and it goes well with most colors. Maggie Mao, senior fashion editor from Grazia, suggests women invest in a 1950s lady-style gray dress this autumn/winter. Cover it with a gray blazer or the season's hottest camel coat. Add a medium-sized gray handbag in leather or suede, and you have a perfect outfit for work.
The Ubiquitous Camel
Camel is the new black this autumn/winter. It is the upgrade version of the popular nude colors in spring/summer and it is a color that exudes warmth, simplicity and elegance. The runways were filled with camel tones shown by Gucci, Chloe, Max Mara and Dries van Noten.
The color schemes for previous autumn/winter seasons were dark and deep, so a change this season is more than welcome.
If you have a budget to splurge on clothes this season, make sure you spend it on a classic camel overcoat, suggests Moka Shen, fashion editor from Modern Weekly.
A pair of wide-leg camel trousers is another smart purchase. Pair it with the beige silk blouse from your summer wardrobe to give a strong yet feminine expression.
If a head-to-toe camel outfit is too much, mixing camel with denim or other fall shades such as red-brown, copper or mahogany to make the look more interesting.
