Metallics are hot for fall 2012 and they have been hot for the past few years. Metallic fabrications, embellishments and touches have been of-the-moment for the past few years and are showing no sign of stopping as we head into the fall season.

Each season silver, pewter, yellow gold and rose gold have been popping up as important parts of the seasonal color spectrum. While each metallic hue takes center stage every season, all of them are relevant and on trend. For fall 2012, yellow gold is the hottest metallic color; but this does not mean the other shades should be put into storage-keep all metallics front and center in your closet!

As with previous seasons, metallics are a great way to spice up a neutral ensemble or add some fire to a colorful outfit. Metallics can be found everywhere on accessories, garments and fingertips! Metallics have also found a small place in eye make-up for the fall season; but beware-metallic eye make-up is appropriate for evenings only while nail polish is appropriate for all occasions and times of the day J

When wearing metallics this fall season, look for one metallic statement piece for each outfit; no head-to-toe metallics!

This is one trend which you may be able to find in your closet from a previous season. If not, there are many fabulous options on store shelves for metallics this fall 2012 season. What is your favorite way to wear metallics? Are you a gold, silver, pewter or rose gold girl? Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Colorful denim skinnies for the fall 2012 season

 in General Fashion / Trends  tagged casual fashion / casual style / denim / fall 2012 / winter 2013 by

Colored skinny jeans were all the rage last spring and summer. Nothing has changed for the fall/winter 2012/2013 seasons. Colorful denim skinnies are still the hottest casual pant on the street for the cool weather season and this time around they are in autumn hues rather than summer brights and springtime pastels.

While printed denim, metallic jeans and other types of casual pants are on-trend for fall 2012, colored denim is the ultimate, number one way to be casual. Skinny jeans in autumn hues such as chocolate brown, burgundy, orange, dark green and classic black are on-trend for fall. In addition to classic fall colors, shades of jewel tones including bright red, purple, cobalt and emerald green are also hot for fall.

Colored denim pants are a great way to instantly update your casual fall wardrobe and they look more polished than regular blue jeans. This makes colored skinnies a great way to feel comfortable and casual yet avoid the sloppy, faded denim look on the weekends. Since colored skinnies are about as tailored as casual clothing can get, they can also be a great option for casual Friday’s at work; if your dress code allows denim.

We found a few fabulous hues for fall around the web and assembled them into the Polyvore set below. What is your favorite fall color for denim skinnies?
