Top Colors for Fall 2011 announced by Pantone

Announcing top colors for spring and fall every year is a fashion industry ritual. Pantone, which is a grand daddy of colors surveys top designers in NYC and comes up with a consensus on which colors are being used by designers for that season.
This list is nothing more than the opinion of a few designers but then these designers are trend setters in their own right. So expect these colors to become popular for the upcoming Fall 2011 season.





The above chart shows top colors for womens fashion this fall. Based on our experience, the only surprise in the above list is honeysuckle as traditionally it is a spring color. Emberglow which is a new entrant does look good and has promise. But the biggest winner will be deep teal. Teal has already been rising as the shade of choice in the blue family for sometime now (people seem to be getting bored with Navy). 




The second chart above is for mens colors for Fall 2011. Again, the winner we think will be deep teal. The others either do not have mass appeal or are too bold to be carried correctly by an average guy.

But again as we say 'Fashion is Fleeting'. These colors are here today, gone tomorrow. Whether you pay attention to these 'in season' colors or ignore them is completely up to you. But remember that 'Style is Forever'. If you are one of those who choose to wear hot pink dress in fall and top it off with a matching pair of shoes and handbag and carry it with your unique style and manage to turn heads and feel that the world is under your feet, you are our kind of a gal. Do your own thing and Live well in Style.
