It is actually refreshing returning to the sophisticated look of previous decades after the long period of casual style and minimalism. This season s clothes have a downtown funky tone, as well as a comfortable touch of luxury. As far as colors are concerned, bright colors that appeared this spring and summer are still playing a role, but in more solid and pastel tones. Classic colors such as blacks, browns and grays are reintroduced and the new colors include rich greens, blues, burgundy, shades of gold, honey and champagne. The trademark color for this season is red in various nuances.
Pastels are mixed with darker colors while neutrals are combined with more solid, daring colors.
Fur, leathers, crocodile and alligator skins are a definite must for this fall. Cashmere and knit tops, as well as sheer, see-through materials are also on the top of the list, followed by satin, embroidery, velvet, mohair and silk. Tweed and plaid are making a strong come back and sequins add a flashy touch. Pants are slim fitting and figure hugging and skirts are either knee length or long. Turtlenecks and long coats are hot and three-quarter sleeves continue to be in for this season.
