Fall trends - red?

Helena

Hi all, wondering if some of the more up-to-date of you have seen anything around color trends for fall. I feel like we are due for some red - I personally was finding red accents feeling a little tired (for me personally - it always looks great when I see it) but now am back on that bandwagon. Anyone in the know on this?

I've been trying to figure that out. Aside from seeing plum, dark cranberry/wine, dark violet (cobalt/purple), and espresso brown in NAS picks I don't have a good sense.

The runway collections I've peeked at seem to have quite a bit of color variety. The brights I've seen are orange, cool fuchsia/radiant orchid and mustard yellow. Not a lot of blood red but some orange/red and some muted tomato red.

ETA: 'peeked' not 'peaked' how do I not catch these things before posting

Eileen Fisher and Vince Camuto both showed red in their NAS offerings.

I purchased two EF tops, both called tomato, but, really, two different colors. One, which is rayon, is a deep, but true, red. The second, which is a very soft merino, is heathered and has much more orange and brown in it.

The Vince red seemed to be a crimson red, leaning toward cranberry.

I'm hearing about and seeing a fair bit on-line . To me it's nothing new though - seems red pops up as a "new" hit every few seasons or so. I can never get my head around it - never figure out what makeup works and how to dress it without looking like i'm wearing a flight attendant's uniform. It looks too classic, if you know what I mean, and not in a good way. Your colouring appears better suited to it though - so for a completely fashion forward look, I love the look of mixing reds/berries with navy or olive green (multiple shades of reds and berry in one outfit is what I mean). I've had too much coffee, I'll stop now.

Red usually tends to surface in the fall/winter, in one way or another, at retail level regardless of runway. A few years back red was more of a proper "trend", this year I'm seeing other shades take more precedence. If you're talking retail, it may be a bit early to determine just how much red will pop up but in the next few weeks we should get a better idea. If you're talking runway, the main colors I saw that I jotted down were French blue, plum, and violet. But as Rabbit said, there really was quite a large color variety (which is great!).
