Green for fall 2014

One of the hottest color trends for the fall 2014 season is green. That’s right! The vibrant hue which claimed color of the year back in 2013, has turned out to be one of the most important color trends for the last season of 2014.

Unlike in 2013, when Emerald green rained supreme, green for fall 2014 is being shown in every shade imaginable. Bright apple green, emerald, and olive hues are dominating store shelves for the upcoming cool weather season. While not dominant on the runways for fall 2014, shades of green were favored by store buyers for the autumn season and have found their way onto store shelves everywhere.

Shades of green are being shown worn together or paired with dark fall neutrals such as brown, charcoal and black. Green is being shown on everything including apparel, shoes, handbags and jewelry. The green trend can be worn as a full ensemble look, or as an accent color to an otherwise neutral toned outfit.

Green will also be a great alternative to classic black this fall 2014 season for special occasions, evening looks and gala gowns. Green will also be a great way to brighten up casual daytime looks.

Metallic handbags for fall 2014

Metallic handbags have been a classic mainstay in the world of handbags over the past several years. Despite their place as a modern classic, metallic handbags have exploded for fall 2014; and are proving to be one of the most important handbag trends of the seasons.

Spotted on the runways in New York, Paris, Milan and London, metallic handbags are taking the streets by storm. Every metallic hue has been seen including silver, pewter, gold and metallic versions of every color on the rainbow. Metallic hues are being spotted on mini, small, medium and large handbags; although medium is usually the largest handbag one would want to be metallic; for good taste purposes 😉

The metallic handbag is a fresh way to wear a neutral purse this fall season. Metallic hues blend well with almost any color palette and can be worn from day to day. Smaller metallic bags can easily transition into evening and can instantly dress up a pair of jeans.

There is also a trend towards simple, understated handbags. While metallic bags are not understated due to their shiny and eye-catching appearance, the style of the handbag this fall season is in theme with the trend towards simplicity. When shopping for a metallic handbag, look for clean lines, not a lot of hardware and simplicity.
