Current Fashion Trends: Fall/Winter 2010

Color Trends for 2010 winter

Colors seen on the Catwalk reflect the tough Economic times so you'll see lots of dark, deep and nature-inspired colors.

Let's check them out:

• Black
• Grey: from earthy-grey tints to light grey tones sparkly metallic
• Cream
• Brown: tan, beige
• Red: Crimson red to burgundy
• Orange: Burnt Sienna, deep orange
• Blue: electric blue, mint blue, dark navy blue, teal blue

I don't really like stating that you should wear this and this color to stay trendy. Some colors just don't look good on some skin complexions and others might not find specific colors appealing. If you've reviewed my F/W fashion essentials you probably know that you can never go wrong with black, brown, gray, red, purple and mustard yellow for fall/winter.

How to wear the colors:

Wear them as your key piece clothing; as a black turtleneck sweater, grey chunky cardigan, orange floral blouse or a dress, and balance it with a pair of classic dark blue or black jeans. Luckily, the color trend for fall/winter fashion 2009 are subtle enough to wear to work.

If you want to get the most out of your fall/winter fashion 2009-10 wardrobe budget, you might want to focus on buying accessories in those colors, such as a knit scarf in burnt sienna (orange), beaded jewelry in teal or a suede bag in tan brown.

If you want a more exotic look, accompany the color tones with gold or silver jewelry. The metallic shine remarkably accentuates the beauty in the colors.
