Cobalt blue is a well-loved color. This bright shade of blue appears in seasonal collections almost every spring, summer and resort. We occasionally see designers use pops of cobalt for fall and winter, but it is not as common as in warm weather seasons.

For fall 2013 cobalt blue is hot. It is almost as hot as purple, and fall’s most important color, red. Cobalt is bright and is turning out to be the most cheerful color of the season. Love this!

Not only is cobalt blue important for fall 2013, the hue dominated the resort 2014 runways throughout the globe. This means cobalt blue is the perfect color to invest in right now. As summer sales are starting to hit final markdown, look for pieces in cobalt blue. You will be able to wear them now and well into 2014. After all, resort is a snapshot into spring, and if cobalt is hot for resort, it may very well have a strong place in the spring/summer 2014 collections.

Look for cobalt blue on everything from apparel to accessories. This hue is even popping up in beauty products. Nail polish, eye liner, eye shadow and mascara in cobalt blue are hot right now and can be toned down to carry your blue beauty look into fall. Watch for the hue to pop up again in beauty for resort 2014!

Metallics for fall 2013

 in Color Trends / Trends  tagged fall 2013 / metallics / winter 2014 by

Metallic hues have been on trend for the past few years and are showing no signs of slowing down for the fall 2013 season. Designers continued to show metallic accents and accessories for fall/winter 2013/2014 when they sent models down the runways in New York, Paris, Milan and London. Store buyers are continuing to love the trend and have stocked store shelves for fall with the sparkling touch.

Metallics are everywhere for fall 2013. In addition to solid colored pieces, metallics are part of the ongoing color blocking trend. They are being spotted together with bright colors and autumn hues. Metallics are also being paired with fall’s hot animal print trend as part of the blocked print trend.

Every shade of metallic is hot for fall 2013. You have your pick from bright silver, gold, pewter, copper, brass and more. There is a metallic hue for everyone and every ensemble this fall 2013 season. Love that! If you have previously invested in metallic during past seasons, you are set for the fall 2013 season! If not, do not be afraid to purchase a few metallic items this season. The trend is projected to continue into 2014.

The easiest way to wear the metallic trend is through shoes and handbags. Of course, if you are bold, look for a metallic motorcycle jacket or pair of jeans. While a metallic dress is on trend, it is considered overdone. When it comes to apparel, look for separates and incorporate one metallic item into your ensemble.
