Colour and Pattern Overload

— by Angie

on May 31, 2012

We were promised a season of colour, and my goodness did the fashion industry keep their promise. Stores have looked bright and happy all year. I felt that we were starved of a great colour assortment for several years, but we finally have a season that covers neutrals, earth tones, pastels, mid-tones, jewel tones, brights and neon. There is something for everyone and that’s brilliant.

We were also promised a season of pattern, and it’s EVERYWHERE. Pattern, pattern, pattern on everything. It’s on clothing, footwear and accessories, in all sorts of moods, types and colours. And pattern mixed outfits are so very on trend. I have added quite a bit of pattern to my wardrobe this year, and just for the season, I am switching over to Team Pattern. I cannot remember loving pattern and pattern mixing as much as I have right now. Pattern has refreshed my style and made me smile.

So I’m wondering how we will feel about colours and patterns at the end of the season. Will we embrace a colour and pattern-rich Autumn and Winter because we have been somewhat starved of that too? Or will we be sick of colours and patterns and yearn for solids, subtle textures and neutrals? Some have already seen their fair share of the colour and pattern in stores, or never liked it in the first place.

I won’t be sick of colour when Autumn and Winter comes around because I need to wear colour in grey Seattle. But I might be over most of the pattern other than my usual geometric standbys like checks/plaids, argyle and pinstripes. I can see my renewed love for solids coming through strongly in the second half of this year.

Over to you. What are your thoughts on the colour and patterns we’re seeing for Spring and Summer 2012? Is it overload?Have you embraced it, or do you wish it would go away? Will you continue to wear colours and patterns in Autumn and Winter?

Of course, I think your own style is Fabulous but I am interested to hear you say you need color in grey skies Seattle. I once read a book by a French mother and daughter and they explained their greys-heavy wardrobe as fitting in with the look of the weather in Paris. Also, there is a tiny book called The Colorist – fascinating – where a section takes up his theory that people tend to dress like their environments – lots of red appearing in post box and double decker bus red London.

I feel better in my warm weather punchier wardrobe and have problem carrying that through to winter wear. Closet’s more somber then. Perhaps the ticket’s more higher contrast geometrics? I purely hate the muted fall colors patterned fabrics, though I generally like and wear two color patterns like an equal red and indigo or navy print.

I think you are on to something Angie.
Bright color and pattern are not usually around season after season.
Maybe one or the other will stay.
Personally, I prefer and can wear neutral pattern more than bright color.

I have not bought much new this season but will always be looking for complex neutrals,
which means unusual color.

You see it in much more expensive garments.
It will be interesting to see what shows up at the NAS sale.

In my opinion, there is no such thing as too much color. I’ll be devastated when the trends inevitably turn back to soul-sucking beige. For years, the only “colors” I’ve been able to find are various shades of bruise. I’m stocking up now before it’s too late.

I don’t think I will ever tire of color. I may move to a more monochromatic look or use fewer colors but love color and always. have.

It is wonderful to have so many choices and hope it continues.

Like Wildy, I’m more drawn to colours in the warmer and lighter months than during the winter. I’m still really really hoping I will be able to get something else than gray and black when the autumn season begins.

I’m with Jean – I’m ready to rest my eyes on something a little more calming for Autumn. Some brights have agreed with me and I like to see the carnival of color in stores. JCrew has been especially fun!

I love color and pattern — always have, always will. It suits my personality and my coloring, and it makes me happy and energized.

Sure, there are times I go quieter, more neutral, but overall, I’m happy to see so much color and pattern and I hope it continues. When I walk into a store and it’s a sea of beige, I don’t tend to stay long.

Being “morethanbeige” I have struggled to add color in the past, but am embracing it at the moment. Not like you see in stores with bright bolds juxtaposed against other bright bolds and with bold pattern mixing, but just adding SOME color to my outfits and loving it. Maybe it’s taken the really bold colors in the stores to make my color additions seem subdued and more like me. Anyway, it’s given me a certain freedom. Yay! I don’t think the trend can sustain itself too long…it will lose its shock appeal.

I think the color and pattern together will become less prevalent – it is just too much and some bold black and white and solid colors will be refreshing. Meanwhile I am happy to find some of the brights I do like right now.

Nothing neutral about me, although I spent a decade in boring (not edgy or goth) black. This fall, I’m excited about eggplant, deep teal, and sapphire or ink blue. While black is easy to find and match, and is sometimes elegant, I’m hoping to go beyond gray and black for my neutrals, mixing in some cognac (what, brown!) and navy/ink for neutrals. All this on a budget, too!

Funny I love pattern and color, but lately have been drawn to all white more and more (other than my seasonal madras addiction). Maybe I’m compensating for the overload of pattern and color I see everywhere. I will not completely abandon pattern and color, and I agree that in fall I will prefer patterns be limited to checks and plaids and a bit of animal print. I look forward to adding some bright colored cashmere but solids more than anything.

I’m loving the colour and patterns in the stores right now – it just makes me happy when I walk in and see it all. I’ve been slowly infusing more colour into my wardrobe and although I will always be loyal to black and white, find I feel good when wearing colour. I’m loving the floral trend right now for patterns although I think that will be over by the end of summer. I’ve always like geometrics and polka dots and don’t see that fading away.

I love how you say you need to wear colour in Seattle. I feel the same about France, I like to wear colour in a sea of black, navy and grey! I am going to be in brights this spring and summer and while I want to add in some muted and deep tones for autumn/winter, I will not give brights up. I have recently started wearing patterns other than stripes, so I might still want to wear them in autumn and winter. I want to try argyle and add in some more plaid for sure, plus maybe animal print flats

I’m enjoying all the colors but am luke warm on all the patterns. It’s too easy for me to stock up on lots of patterns and then struggle with how to mix up my outfits. For me to maintain my preference for a heavy remix wardrobe, I’m picking up lots of colors with only the occasional pattern. I will continue to purchase color in the fall and winter if the stores come out with colors. It would be a nice change from the usual fall selections of black, grey and blue that I often see in heavy abundance in the stores.

I’m enjoying all the color and pattern. One of my fashion projects is to add more of each to my plain gray/black/white/all solid wardrobe. I’m enjoying such a buffet to choose from and also enjoying overcoming my psychological resistance to pattern especially.

However, I suspect by autumn I’ll be ready for a visual rest.

I just find it funny that as this season embraces color and pattern, I find my own style moving away from both a bit. I’m loving grays, whites, and navy (which is a color, but not a very vibrant one). I’m still wearing color and pattern (my recent J Crew purple print button-down), but less that I did last year. Funny.

So many interesting perspectives here, ladies! And varied too.

Vildy, I love black/white/cream/denim/ink blue ensembles – but I love wearing bright colours just as much. When the skies are grey for seasons at a time here in Seattle, it depresses me to wear a neutral outfit day in day out. That’s why I have red, citron, cream and bright blue wool coats. At times, I need to combat my grey environment – not blend in with it. Does that make sense? (Our weather is very similar to Western Europe and the UK).

Laura and Greenglove, redheads think alike

For the last few Autumn and Winter retail seasons, I’ve found the overkill of grey, black and beige just awful. The palette prevented me from purchasing items at all. I wear more neutrals in Autumn and Winter for sure, but I don’t want the colour to stop. I hope that the retail stores hear me. Thank you J.Crew for supplying us with colours when no one else did.

Morethanbeige, great point about “shock appeal”.

I don’t think I’ll ever be over color, because it’s an integral part of my style. I love wearing color. But I’m not big on patterns (other than “classic” ones like checks, argyles and stripes) and I usually prefer to buy an item in a solid, bright color. When fall/winter comes, I’ll definitely be ready for solids again!

I love the color and pattern! I’m hoping in the fall that they will stay around but get darker, and turn into the super-saturated autumnal jewel tones that are my favorites (dark teal, eggplant, wine, etc). Honestly, my favorite neutral is black and that is always around so I don’t miss neutrals. And denim is also always around to ground the look.

Like Janet, the sea of beige is the one thing that’ll make me turn right around and walk out of a store.

Angie, I live in a city with more sunshine than yours (but colder temps) but even so, because it is built of limestone, and in some winters we do not get much snow, the city seems very grey. Like you, I am THIRSTY for colour! I adore wearing neutrals (and yes, even grey) but I must have some colour, too, on those winter days, or I just wither. So I wil never get sick of colour. I can’t wear the neons, pastels, or super brights, but anything else will do!

I am still enjoying pattern now, but I think for me this is more temporary. It will be interesting to see the new developments!

Colour can stay, but I must say that I’m getting weary of all the ugly pattern mixing I’m seeing. Your pattern mixing outfits were refreshing and elegant, but most of what I’m seeing in the stores and on the street just looks sloppy. Some fashion trends don’t translate well in the hands of the average person.

I will never tire of bright color and patterns. I wear them in all seasons. As much as I admire the look on others, all neutral dressing is not for me.

It’s interesting how climate and environment influence our color choices. Colorful houses in a warm coastal town look ill-at-ease in the Midwest, for example.
I’m loving the patterns and colors right now, although I’m picky about patterns and not buying as much as I thought I would. I wish there were more sophisticated prints at lower end prices.
I also love pattern mixing right now and will probably continue with some of it into the fall/winter when patterned scarves fit easily into the mix. I’d love to find more navy and browns for fall but will probably continue to wear color. I’ve not tired of it yet.

I like that there has been “something for everyone” this year, but I’ve got to say I have not embraced bright colours and patterns it all that much. I don’t exactly wish it would go away, because it seems to me that solid neutrals will always be there and that’s my mainstay, but I only partake sparingly in the colour/pattern trend.

I’d be OK if neon went away, though. It’s an assault to my eyeballs!

Having said that, I don’t think I’ll ever tire of pinstripes and plaid. It’s just the florals and abstracts that I can take or leave.

I think even in the Fall and Winter, I want to keep some bright colors and some patterns around, if not at least in a coat or jacket or scarf. I love neutrals (gray,navy, black) but have really enjoyed incorporating more color (cobalt blue, emerald green) etc. The pattern mixing I do is pretty tame in comparision to what I see in the stores but I do want to continue incorporating it. Color and some patterns are helping me feel more energized. Before YLF I wore SO many neutrals that I felt like a walking neutral. Part of that is because of budgetary constraints (neutrals don’t really go out of fashion) but part of it was my own timidity and body image concerns! Long live color and pattern!

I don’t think I can ever be sick of color – at least I haven’t so far and it’s been most of my life. As for patterns, I anticipate that at some point I will feel done as at the end of the day, I have a preference for really clean, classic, crisp lines. But I do love the patterns right now. It’s a good way to mix things up.

I have enjoyed wearing bright color and pattern this season, however, I found that mixing equal value saturated brights and loud pattern mixing isn’t my best look. I love the clothing items laid out on the bed, but when I put the outfit on, it’s just too much and takes all of the focus off my face. I certainly haven’t seen other people around here dressing that way, so I can’t say that I’m tired of seeing it everywhere. I’m settling in to wearing brights with white and when I pattern mix, I prefer one bold pattern mixed with a subtle stripe or a false plain. Even though we have plenty of sunshine here year round, the quality of the light is very different in the summer than the winter. Brights don’t look as jarring in summer (think of a photo that’s overexposed).

By fall, I imagine I will be happy to return to a more neutral color palette. I find I *need* to have a change of seasons in my wardrobe colors to signal to my brain that it is fall/winter, since our winters are so mild. The color previews I’ve seen for fall are not hues I wear well, so I’ll probably stick to subdued neutrals with splashes of color here and there. My pattern mixing will be more tame by nature as well, since my outerwear is solid and I don’t have any patterned pants. Yet.

I Love Color! This season is making me so happy to shop! And I hope that there will be interesting color choices and combinations in the Fall…maybe more saturated hues, mixed with creams and black. Would be glorious!

The only bright colors I cannot wear or even look at for more than a couple of seconds are the neon brights. They do nothing positive for me.

I absolutely love the options for color and pattern right now! I still think there are plenty of black, gray, white, beige, and navy items too, so I am hoping that the balance stays right where it is for many seasons to come.

I don’t think I’ll be sick of patterns. Although I picked up a patterned dress and *love* it, I still haven’t sated my hunger for prints… I’m just too picky when it comes to patterns. I really appreciate the pattern assortment right now, and I hope the variety continues so that I can collect a few more items. :T

Good point, Angie. Will we tire of it all?

Well I won’t! I love colour and still crave it. But patterns ARE difficult. Once you have a piece, it doesn’t mix with just any other print, so it somewhat restricts possible outfit combinations. Also, with a print, I think one has to be even more careful what you wear it with. A combined colour cannot be just “close, but a little off”. It has to blend well.

On another topic, I love the expression Greenglove used :”complex neutrals”. I don’t know what it refers to exactly, but I imagine… like hound’s tooth material for example?

I am loving this season of color and agree that in last few years it was all about neutrals so this is refreshing change with something for everyone. In fact, I feel like I should be stocking up on color now in case it isn’t big next year.
Looking forward to fall tones – a little richer, a little deeper and muted versions of plum and teal, deep red and blue. I will miss the brights though – emerald and cobalt particularly.

As for pattern, well that’s where I tend to be picky. I am not attracted to most spring and summer patterns but fall brings out the houndstooth and plaid and I love those.

I have been going in the exact opposite direction of these trends! My closet used to have tons of patterns and every color. But it was hard to tame. I narrowed down to more like 6 main colors and have bought very few pattern the last 2 years. Things play together so much nicer now.
I like color and select patterns, in SMALL doses. This spring’s trends make me dizzy. Is it gone yet?

I love patterns and I love color, so I will continue to wear them into autumn. I do have a hard time with boldly pattern mixing. I will wear a pinstripe pant with a patterned top, but I haven’t quite got into the patterned top AND boldly patterned jacket unless again it is a subtle pinstripe.

Color and pattern—what more could a girl want? I, like most here, have loved all the color and ways to wear it. If you are not a brights gal, go for pastels—patterns aren’t your thing, then colorblock, etc. I will not tire of color and think it is a bit of a reflection of where our economy and culture is…coming BACK! As most fashion trends often do reflect where our economy and culture is, I think this is a positive statement about where we all are. As for fall, hoping the pattern mixing STAYS in a big way. I think mixing pattern and color gives a girl tons of options to be an individual while wearing what is on trend and not looking like everyone else. Also, fall usually bring in the pattern of yarn, weave, layers, etc. so I count those types of patterns as well and look forward to them. LOVING summer but always looking ahead….part of why fashion is so uplifitng…it keeps you always looking AHEAD!

I am so happy there are lots of choices in the stores, not just for pattern, but style as well. I tend to wear more neutrals (darkish neutrals) during the blah rainy months, but every now and then I like to punch it up with a spot of color. Right now I am seeking pattern and color. It just speaks bright sunny days to me. It seem right now almost ANYTHING GOES in fashion land. Notice I said almost!!! Anyway, there is a very wide variety of choices available!! Yeah!!

I was finally convinced to dip my toe into brighter colors and have had some fun with it. But I will be happy if colors are more neutral in the fall.

I’ve definitely overloaded on stripes and plaid, which are the only patterns that I’m interested in. I love them, but need to take a break from buying any more!

I have absolutely LOVED this season, the abundance of choice in terms of colour and print and really caused me to focus my attention and truly discover the hues and patterns which I adore, so yes, I will be sorry to see the trends go.

I now know that I love large scale florals set against a navy, white or black background. I also like stripes but prefer to keep these to black and cream or navy and white.

I also know that coral and turquoise have been flirtations but greyed purple and Wedgwood blue are perennials.

I have also come to realise that I prefer to have a calm place for the eye to rest within an outfit so my pattern mixing has been more subdued than I first anticipated.

The lessons I have learned I expect to carry forward into the next season.

Like Mo, I’ve narrowed the colors in my closet. Unfortunately several of those colors aren’t exactly popular most of the time – orange, citron, bright yellow, emerald/jade. I’ll probably always be able to find red and turquoise with relative ease, but it has been nice to have these other brights around.

It’s been such a happy season for colours for sure! I’m enjoying a new love affair with green, I especially love cool shades of green, and was so happy to see those turn up in the stores. I too am hoping the colour trend will continue this Fall. I like the idea of purples, emerald, cobalt blue, cherry red, raspberry etc. for colder days. I also love the idea of ton-sur-ton outfits with brighter colours.
I don’t think I’ll be ready to give up all the fun pattern mixing just yet;-)

I enjoy both hectic and subtle pattern mixing, and even though I’m a neutrals gal at heart you know I just love to don bright color combinations So I have really enjoyed the color and patterns this season, but have bought much much less of them than expected. Partially due to budgeting going towards basics that I am somehow still missing, and partially because most of the prints I’ve seen don’t sing to me. I had been REALLY hoping to get a good dose of print into my very-solid-heavy wardrobe, but have added only a couple pieces. I do hope it sticks around for fall and into next season, I desperately need to add color to my fall wardrobe! I’ve also been running into the problem of small sizes selling out FAST, so am a bit frustrated at not getting some of the bright colors I would have liked.

I wonder if, with such a wide variety of both print and color, shopping becomes a little too much of a sensory overload? I think this would especially be true if you already get a little overwhelmed when shopping as many of us do.

I LOVE it! I was so afraid of color for so long, and the timing is perfect – YLF has cured me of my color phobia just when color is really ramping up! So, for example, I get to enjoy emerald and orange, two colors I thought I hated, that I never would have worn two years ago. And I love pattern, too. I say, bring it on! It makes me happy and reinforces my new-found style.

I don’t understand why color isn’t around all the time – I didn’t realize how little there was until it arrived. I just assumed I was being difficult in terms of my personal taste. Now I feel like I’m a little out of control with all the orange, cobalt, emerald and other brights around, but i know there will come a day when I’m glad I stocked up.

I’m good with certain patterns, but have had to realize that certain ones (polka dots, ditzy prints, florals) dont’ fit my wardrobe as well as others (stripes, whimsical prints). And that’s worth learning so I’m glad it’s all around even it’s not all suitable for me.

I will never get sick of colors, bring them on! As for the pattern I still did not go overboard yet. Pattern is hard for me and before I did not even own many patterned items. No stripes! No checks! No even polka dots!
Now I getting more and more pattern-savvy and even venture into some safe pattern mixing but I have still a long way to go. Who know, maybe by fall I will become brave enough to get even more patterns into my closet!

As we head into Winter in Australia I am really looking forward to incorporating colour and pattern to brighten things up. I have already purchased three items in turquoise and berry coloured loafers, scarf, bag and belt. Still experimenting with pattern though!

I love colour, and as many have mentioned here, I love the individuality and uniqueness colour and pattern offer. I have to stock up, as I have not done much shopping this season and there are many colours and patterns I simply cannot locate. I think too much visibility of any trend contributes to consumer fatigue — it is human nature to look for the next ‘thing.’

I will still love colour and pattern, but like everything else, I try and achieve balance. (I have relegated all my black, and dark blue & grey tops, and cardigans to one shelf in my wardrobe, and wear these items rarely — I just don’t don’t like how dark colours look next to my face — unless contrasted with a bright!)

I have enjoyed yellow and coral this spring! But at the same time, I have been craving neutrals so beige, navy, black and grey are getting plenty of play. I’m not sure how I’ll feel in the fall. But I haven’t gotten sick of the bright colors yet. Perhaps because I have only spent 2 afternoons at major retail since January 2012, I’m not feeling as satiated with color or pattern as others. I feel shopping on line does not wear me out of trends the way actually being at retail might.

I love color and pattern and hope it will be around for awhile. As you said, we’ve been starve for color for the past several seasons, so it is really nice to have color again. I don’t have the budget for much buying this year, but if I did, you’d better believe I’d be buying lots of pattern and color!

I am happy that there seems to be a little bit of everything at the moment. Pastels don’t work for me at all, but there are many other bright color options at the moment! Now, I really need neutrals in my wardrobe, so I’m trying not to go overboard, but I’ve definitely snagged a few key pieces.
