The Fall Color Story


Which colors are in your wheel?

Even before the first signs of fall appear, fashion magazines' significant fat issues hit the stands. I love anticipating these issues, especially Vogue because it allows a sneak preview of what will be in when the temperature starts to drop. I adore summer and the effortless wardrobe styling required; however, I can't wait to get into a new pair of jeans and a great sweater. We've consulted New York Stylist James Horohoe to ask what can we expect for this fall's colors.

Mixing and matching are required. All these colors can be worn together.

Earth tones are interchangeable. Cognac, browns, gold, and muted reds can combine in various ways to accommodate several different looks. A satin pussy-bow blouse with leather trousers can see you to a nice dinner on the town while those same slacks and a copper cashmere sweater is a comfortable Saturday daytime outfit.

The Green Scene

Green is one of those colors that stretches across the color spectrum with a wide stroke. Most of us can wear some greens but not others. I love greens with blue undertones and don’t look good in ones with yellow undertones. Luckily, this fall we have choices. There are greens from soft mint, to kelly, to sage to deep teal.

We are going to keep you posted on style trends and traditional favorites in all things style.
