fall 2013 light navy by bayareafashionista on Polyvore

 

Light navy blue was spotted on the runways for fall/winter 2013/2014 in Paris, Milan, London and New York. This vivid and classic version of navy blue stood out among shades of neutral, burgundy, red and black which dominated the runways.

Designers showed light navy blue on everything including handbags, apparel and shoes. The color was shown tonal as well as paired with other neutrals and autumn hues. Light navy blue looks amazing with black since it has more of a blue tone than dark navy blue which can sometimes be mistaken for black. Light navy blue also looks amazing with winter and holiday color trends which includes reds and pastels.

Light navy blue is a classic hue which is easy for any hair-color or skin tone to wear. This is definitely a great color to invest in for the fall 2013 and winter 2014 seasons. Since light navy blue is normally shown in the spring season, purchasing handbags, shoes or lightweight clothing during the fall/winter 2013/2014 season will prove a worthy investment when the spring 2014 season rolls around. You will already own light navy blue! Love that!

Fall 2012 fashion trends: Shades of dark blue and navy

Neiman Marcus has declared Navy Blue the “new neutral” for the fall 2012 season. Here at Bay Area Fashionista, we could not agree more. Shades of blue, from vivid medium blue through to navy, were spotted on the runways in Milan, Paris, London and New York; and store buyers seem to have stocked their shelves with the hue for the fall season.

Blue and navy blue are considered pleasant colors and tend to look fabulous on every skin tone, and with every hair color imaginable. Blue and navy are also easy shades to match with other colors and neutral tones. Navy blue and blue are being shown on everything imaginable including shoes, handbags, clothing and jewelry. In fact, lapis jewelry has become immensely popular and is an easy way to invest in something classic which also fits perfectly into the dark blue trend for fall 2012.

The one thing to consider when shopping for blue or navy, or pulling out an accessory or garment from a previous season, is the shade of navy or blue. Try to stay away from extremely dark navy blues which are difficult to tell apart from black. The lighter shade of navy is what is hot for fall 2012. Also, make sure your garment or accessory is not obviously from the spring season. Stay away from anything with ropes or with a nautical feel for fall.
