For Fall 2009, the colors will be very simple, muted, and a bit on the understated side- a BIG difference from the rich jeweled tones of seasons past. What does this mean? Well…classic colors like cream, gray, soft red, and black will dominate, which is a good thing because these are classic colors which will have a place in your closet for years to come.
Budget Tips for Fall 2009 Colors:
- Head out to the end of the winter season sales and stock up on black wool, red, brownish- orange (aka sienna), and muted purple.
- If you’re sick of black (and let’s face it can get old), navy or midnight blue is a great alternative. Wear it the same way as you would wear black (as a neutral base).
- If you do decide to go for a camel or cream colored winter coat- make sure to scotch guard (which you can pick up at any drugstore/Target/Wal-Mart
) it before wearing. You might also want to scotch guard cream pants as well. Make sure to test fabric BEFORE spraying the entire garment
- It might not be a good idea to wear a color like Warm Olive head to toe, instead use it as an accent piece- it would make a great hat, scarf, etc.

Whats up with the formatting on this page? I can’t read half of the articles, because ads are covering it.
While I’m loving the Rapture Rose and Majolica Blue, I’m not so sure about the Olive. I’m an “Autumn” and that color is supposed to be in my palette; however, I find that when I wear it I tend to look “washed out” and blah.
