Fall Trends to Come
New York--With just one day to go before the fall 2005 New York Fashion Week ends, there's now clarity and consistency in what's been endorsed by designers for next autumn and winter.
Number one on the top trends list: fullness. In skirts, dresses, coats and blouses, volumne is achieved through gathers, pleats, seams and bias cuts. Expect to add a circle skirt, a pretty princess coat that flares and swings below the calves, or a smock top that shows no waistline to your wardrobe next fall.
-------------------
we've got spring and summer on the brain, but if you're wondering what to buy now that's going to stretch into fall, consider choosing clothes in the colors that will be hot for fall, too.
We asked color expert Leatrice Eiseman, a consultant and director of the Pantone Color Institute, to make sense of it all for us. Eiseman and her company forecasts color trends in clothes and home furnishings by surveying designers on the colors they'll use then comparing that to what's actually seen on the runways and eventually, in the stores.
Here's what will take you through 2005: teals and other blue/green shades; red; purple, wine, burnt orange; olive and moss greens; gray.
Also a must-have for fall: something in a metallic, especially gold.
And not just for evening dressing but for daytime. Consider accessories such as bags and belts but also a bolder piece, such as a jacket or skirt.
