Colour trends for fall
"Just because it's grey outside doesn't mean your wardrobe should reflect that,” says Webb. "Rich, saturated colours such as reds, indigos, purples and greens are on target for fall – basically any bright colour will do.” This doesn't mean you should forgo neutrals and dark pieces. Webb advises keeping these "non-colour” staples in your wardrobe, as they are important for balance.
Fall fashion: How to wear the season's colour trends
1. Coloured denim
One of the biggest ways women are wearing colour for fall 2011 is with denim. "Colour should be important in all categories of your wardrobe, from your apparel to your accessories,” says Webb. "I personally would pick up a pair of coloured jeans as they're such an easy way to infuse some cheery, casual colour into your look.”
Red, green or bright blue jeans are favourites and look best paired with T-shirts, cardigans and ballet flats. For the most part, the coloured denim trend can be found in skinnier cuts of jeans – the colour can be a bit imposing otherwise – so trade in your flared or boot-cut standbys for a pair of bright skinny jeans.
2. Colour blocking
Colour blocking was a big trend this summer and we will continue to see it in fall fashion.
The art of colour blocking is pretty basic: Simply pair one bright colour (typically a solid) with another. During the summer, colour trends emerged and pairing bright orange with pink was a very popular choice. However, the best colours to "block” with will change slightly with the turn of the season.
