Pantone has revealed the top colors for fall/winter 2016-17 and I couldn’t be any more excited. The season’s color trends are anchored by earthy tones like Warm Taupe and Dusty Cedar with pops of vibrant colors like Spicy Mustard and Bodacious. A lot of these shades are definitely a departure from the more traditional fall shades.
According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute:
Transcending gender, these unexpectedly vivacious colors in our Fall 2016 palette act as playful but structured departures from your more typical fall shades. Blue skies represent constancy as they are always above us. Grays give a feeling of stability, Red tones invite confidence and warmth, while the hot Pinkish Purples and Spicy Mustard Yellows suggest a touch of the exotic.
I like wearing a lot of earthy tones in the fall. I love the Dusty Cedar shade and I plan to incorporate a lot of it into my fall wardrobe. Bodacious is pretty shade as well and will make a fun color combination when paired with a neutral contrasting shade like light gray, cream or black.
