Winter 2013 Fashion Trends: Pastel Hues

Pastel hues starting creeping back into fashion when designers in Paris showed sweet, light colors on the runway for spring/summer 2012. The pastel trend turned out to be the perfect “yin” to the bright color trends’ “yang” and has continued to enjoy popularity into the fall/winter 2012/2013 season.

Pastel colors have traditionally been a welcome color palette for the winter season after the autumn hues from the fall season begin to look too familiar. Pastels offer a fresh and colorful perk to winter ensembles; especially during bleak winter weather!

One of the fabulous things about pastels is that they will continue to be hot as we move into the spring 2013 season. Pastels will be the ultimate alternative color palette to spring/summer 2013’s uber bright shades and neon hues. This makes pastel garments and accessories a great investment to wear now and during the spring months. Love that!

For the winter season, pastels look fabulous with the holiday season’s sparkle trend. When paired with silver or gold, pastels add the perfect complimentary color to any party ensemble or daytime outfit.
Look for pastel hues in lavender, mint green, soft yellow, sky blue, peach and washed out pinks when shopping for pastels this winter 2013 season.

Winter 2013 Trends: Baroque

One of the big fall/winter 2012/2013 runway trends is baroque. This intricate and design-heavy trend, which seemed to be a little bit much for the warm and moderate weather during the fall season,  has found itself popularity on the street for the cool, winter 2013 season as heavier fabrics and ensembles move to the forefront of every fashion-savvy womans’ closet.

Fashionistas on the street are wearing the baroque trend in subtle ways this winter 2013 season. Instead of head-to-looks from the runways, fashion-savvy women are picking one baroque item and styling an understated outfit around that item. 

When wearing the baroque trend this winter 2013 season, look for one key piece you love and will be able to wear with multiple pieces in your closet. One statement coat, handbag, dress or pair of shoes is the easiest way to own a piece of the baroque trend without breaking the bank or over-buying a trend which may not return in winter 2014.

We have included a few examples in this article to help you incorporate the baroque trend into your winter 2013 wardrobe. Hope you love it! Happy shopping and stay fabulous
