Colors of Fall

OLIVE GREEN-- This is the single most important color of the military inspiration which you are seeing in stores and on the red carpet. It looks great in a suede or try to find a suede jacket or boot. Also try finding something with olive green in a chunky knit sweater or fun textured scarf. This shade of green also looks great in nylon handbag for that military look.

RED-- This color is hard to not find right now everywhere on the sales floor and can be worn in almost every shade from a deep wine color to a orangier cherry red. It adds great contrast to an otherwise solid outfit so try pairing it will and all grey, charcoal or black look and watch the red really pop with either a red handbag, shoe, or accessory.

GREY-- This is another color that you can find in any shade from a light dove color to a deep charcoal but this basic looks best when worn top to bottom. Nothing looks better than this monochromatic color scheme from head to toe. Add studs or crystals to add some flair to the outfit. Make sure you have a fantastic grey shoe to pair back with your basics.

METALLICS-- Both gold, silver, brass, bronze, and rose gold are featured this season. Accessories are the easiest way to add these color to your look with shoes, jewelry, and handbags but don't be afraid to add these colors into your clothing as well. We have been wearing golds with neutrals and silvers with greys but this season look ultra modern when you mix silver with neutrals and gold with black.

TAUPE-- Neutrals have been popular and they still are. Any shades from sand to champagne, but this seasons newest neutral shade it taupe. This neutral has a bit more grey in it than the others and because it is so new, you will look so current wearing it. Add this color with a great pair of twill pants or fur piece like a vest, jacket, or wrap.
