Helena's Fashion Beat: Hot Colors for Fall


Historically, fall collections are defined by earthy colors, and neutrals. This fall has a more “fall-harvest-fiesta” feel with rich jewel-toned hues starting off the season. Designers are putting forward vibrant turquoise-teals, rich royal-toned purples, dark pinks, and a gorgeous mustard that pairs well with jeans (think of the gold color in the out-stitching of your jeans.) The elegant palette of gray and black are standing firm, and charcoal is again very present but with a more metallic undertone. These tones, and a beautiful cream color, look especially great in cozy knit sweaters. One fashion trend for fall that we love is high contrast prints. Black on red, black on purple, charcoal on ivory…it’s all good. We’ll see some heart-stopping pieces from Kensie this fall that exemplify this better than any other line.
