Colour Fashion Trends for Spring 2009

Paint Box Colour Blocking and Fondant Colours

Adamant fashion designers trod the path of soft fondant tints. For Spring 2009 they favour blushing pink beiges, neutrals, creamy whites, and tones of slate blue. Such softer dusty tones are easy tints to mix and match with existing black, navy or other neutrals, the result is a new more ladylike wardrobe.

Spring 2009 will see the return of bright, cheerful colors in tempered combination with "deeper, translucent or neutral tones"

Green is definitely the color of spring 2009 as it will invigorate us and our wardrobes with three different tones: the quintessential spring hue Vibrant Green, the calmer and sophisticated Dark Citron, and clean, clear Lucite Green with a subtle shimmer

The other colors in Spring 2009 Pantone report are:

sparkling Palace Blue, derived from the classic navy, a soft, summery purple hue

, fun and optimistic Super Lemon yellow and

Salmon Rose pink, sensual and elegant Fuchsia Red and the new neutrals Rose Dust, a pink-beige shade, and Slate Gray with bluish-green undertones.

clashing two or three color combinations; hot pink or fuchsia makes a vivid contrast with fluorescent shades of yellow, orange or green.

Colour blocking with strong brights of hot pinks, orange, mango, tangerine and lime are popular. You will also see other brights such as lapis, Yves Klein blue, Santorini blue, lemon yellow, lime, orange and aqua jade tones. These garments can be worn alone or blocked together with the enthusiasm of the Dutch designer Mondrian.

Black and White or Monochrome

Black and white has always been a winning colour scheme, and this year it combines animal prints with Mondrian style colour blocking.

In particular look for monochrome effects based on zebra or giraffe prints with stripes and spots. The recent Spring 2009 Chanel Couture, show by Karl Lagerfeld, was an endless stream of white, and then black and white ensembles

The high street has paid homage to the monochrome scheme as a foil for those who will never adopt neon bright colours. The monochrome look also translates well into the nautical / yachting / maritime themes which designers celebrate every year.

Leggings are the perfect compliment to the zeitgeist of the Fall fashion shows: layering. Whether you’re wearing a long sweater or a short bubble skirt, the ultimate rule is to cover up with leggings (ultimately accompanied by a sculptured heel or bold bootie).

Colors

Gold

Gold at Lela Rose, Philip Lim, and Milly.

Be bold with gold. Wear it head to toe (as at Lela Rose), or tone it down by pairing it with neutrals (as at Philip Lim) or other warm colors (like the orange-gold combo at Milly

Green

Green is also gracing the runway. We love pairing it with grey (as at Marc Jacobs and DKNY) or a bold black and white print (as at Thakoon). But if that’s not your thing, try pairing green with an equally strong color: deep blue or bright yellow.

Teal

Teal at Carolina Herrera, Lacoste, and Lela Rose.

teal, a sophisticated mix of blue and green. As befits its roots, pair teal with blues and greens for best effect. We’re especially loving the navy and teal combo, as seen at Lacoste.

Deep Blue

Deep Blue at Lela Rose, Lacoste, and Tuleh.

Blue is such a relaxing color, and it’s a perfect shade for cool weather days. For the longest, leanest look, you can wear blue head to toe. But blue doesn’t have to be boring - for more visual variety, combine different shades of blue in the same outfit, as in the Lacoste example.

Not So Basic Black

Not So Basic Black at Yigal Azrouel, BCBG, and Jeremy Laing.

Black’s not a new cold weather color. But it seems that black is the new black for Fall 2009. The good news is that you can wear basic black without being too basic. Just mix your blacks up with different textures - shiny and matte, knits with wovens, sheers with opaques.
