When can we expect that wave to come? By November, December, or later? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066694 Sun, 06 Oct 2019 00:20:20 +0000 smittie 2066694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I hear you about colours.<br /> Well there’s always black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066677 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 22:56:12 +0000 Anonymous 2066677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, La Ped! My last three tops are boho. No more, please. I need a long sleeved top in a print that includes rust or orange, olive, and a smidge of mustard on a navy background and preferably not a floral. I have been looking for a print or scarf that combines tomato red and chocolate brown or navy with browns. So far no luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066654 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 20:51:49 +0000 Janet 2066654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Ped, I agree on the boho tops! No more ruffles and gathers and peasant cuts. I have not been feeling the couple of tops that style in my own wardrobe and am thinking of passing them on. </p> <p>Suz, I will keep an eye out for a good replacement top for both of us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066646 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 20:09:15 +0000 LaPed 2066646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a Boden catalogue in the mail the other day and noticed a lot of jewel tones in their holiday collection, and a bunch of dark moody florals (though maybe smaller scale prints than you'd prefer). I'm with Angie in thinking that things will veer away from earth-tone-everything as the holidays approach. My own inclination for the holiday season is black and/or navy with gold accents. I'm not usually a gold person, but that might be my nod to the warm-tones trend heading into winter. Not necessarily gold hardware, but things like brocade, metallic knits, etc.</p> <p>For myself, I will be glad when the boho top trend subsides. I don't need to see another peasant neckline, gathered sleeve, or pintuck for a long time!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066643 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 19:46:45 +0000 rachylou 2066643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie beat me to it of course! But I was going to say it’s early days, more will hit the stores soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066616 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 15:32:47 +0000 Suz 2066616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm struggling to find the patterned tops and even scarves that I'll want, too, Janet. I have quite a lot of solid tops but could use a few prints to marry together these new colour capsules I'm experimenting with and it isn't easy for those of us who are cool-toned. Luckily I truly don't "need" much because the closet it stocked with things I can wear, but the right print would make a big difference to wardrobe options.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on the H&amp;M shirt, by the way. I also let mine go mainly because I had worn it so often I tired of it and then I wasn't feeling the long tunic shape of it (though I often wore it tucked). But I do still have the scarf ,and that might help a bit. It blends cool and warm tones in an interesting way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066614 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 15:24:10 +0000 Janet 2066614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that’s something I hadn’t thought of, Angie. I will keep an eye out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066610 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 15:19:24 +0000 Angie 2066610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the second wave of Fall and Winter might be more of what you’re looking for in terms of colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066606 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 15:13:47 +0000 Janet 2066606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, everything looks good with the McQueen! I wore it yesterday. </p> <p>I do use patterned scarves to liven up simple solid-color ensembles, but sometimes I just want to have a good printed top to do the job on its own. I have this star print blouse and the koi print top, which I thoroughly enjoy, and I’d love to find something else along those lines in a more fall-ish color palette that works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066598 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 14:59:43 +0000 SarahD8 2066598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, bummer. It’s easy to repeat the “you can’t buy what’s not there” mantra but it kind of stinks when you have to live it.</p> <p>The tops in finds look right on the money for you. Can you jazz things up with scarves? All of these look like they’d be great with your new McQueen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-and-prints-this-season#post-2066592 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 14:40:50 +0000 Janet 2066592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thrilled for those who are finally getting all the earth tones and warm colors, but dang, there is really not much out there in non-basic tops that appeals to me. Not even in NYC! Everything seems to be colors that don’t suit me, or ditsy floral prints. Or I’d find a nice color and the cut would be something with big floofy sleeves or the like. LOL Oh, or a super chunky or heavy sweater, which is also not my thing. </p> <p>I have been hoping to find one or two patterned tops that are not just plain basic styles to refresh for fall/winter, but I’m coming up empty. I’ve found some solid knitwear tops in colors that I like (finds below), but they are very simple/classic solid color pieces. I was hoping to inject a little more personality into my top collection in the form of something that layers well under a jacket. A patterned popover or blouse would be nice but nothing too long or tunic-ish. </p> <p>I have several old plaid button-front shirts, so I do have plaid well<br /> represented. I suppose it’s not all bad that I’m not finding tops this season, since I have gotten a couple of new jackets and pants/jeans. </p>
