Autumn & Winter Fashion Trend Colours 2009/2010

Colour forecast reports are out showing what colours we can expect to start seeing in the highstreet and online stores this September. Autumn and winter 2009/2010 looks set to be glamorous with earthy tones giving way to sharp contrasts of dramatic dark shades. As with all seasons there's always a theme or themes that are trying to be achieved, and it would seem after the past few seasons of vibrant artificial colours designers are reverting back to comfortable and more lifelike colour tones. A safe way to put us all back into equilibrium!

Reports are out that 3 main colour categories will be achievable, each with their own key goal as follows:-

Casual

A reflection of mixed technology styling. Juicy orange and neutralised scarlets can be combined with a great sense of adventure and daring whilst still keeping your feet firmly on the ground! Slate grays in contrast with bright dazzling light tones help create a feeling of theatrical proportions.

Chic

Born out of the idea of using digitally inspired print colours. Focusing on cold block colours and earthy tones. Infusions of pink help create a sense of playfulness and character.

Classic

Clever use of diluted colours, both clean and again earthy in nature. A real sense of mystery is created with the use of these experimental and misty colours.

It could be argued that both Chic and Classic styles are both in keeping with the idea of conveying glamour. One thing for sure is that there's going to be really clever use of colours. Easy on the eyes with exciting contrasts of midnight blues and pastel pinks. Watch this space for further developments as our team prepare for the changeover of fashion seasons!
