Fall Equinox

Summer’s vivid and bright colors had a huge impact on the runway, in the stores, and on the streets. Some of the most eye-catching looks were one with the most light! Yes, neon colors lit up the runway in different electrifying shades of reds, pinks, blues, purples, and greens. Zesty yellows and citrus oranges covered the runways by some of the industry’s top designers like 3.1 Phillip Lim, Versace, Dior, Celine, and Posen.

Like many seasons before, we change color trends to very restrained and muted colors in the fall, mostly grays and burnt oranges, but ladies don’t worry about clearing your closet out yet! This fall the colors are going to be just as vibrant as the summer. An executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eisman says, “Fall is traditionally a time for subdued, quiet colors, but this season we are seeing a shift toward cool hues with bright, exciting undertones" (Pantone).

Fall’s top colors are reds, yellows, and purples. These bright colors from the summer look great paired with rich chocolates and black which help warm up this bright summer looks. Instead of letting summer go with a dreary frown let your wardrobe keep your smile vibrant a season!ny
