Fashion Colour Trends Autumn Winter 2006/7
New Colours for Autumn Winter 2006/7 Fashion Trends
The strongest colours in this palette are golds, reds and violas. In autumn 2006 the colours for apparel are firmly in accord with nature. Traditional earthy tones with sun dried rich ochre and terracotta tones gain ground. Women's clothes the colour of pollen, honey, scorched gold, burnt earth and fox hues, meander amid a few livelier more shocking tones. Expect surprise with the jewel colours of purple and vibrant rich ruby red. Urban charcoal greys are enlivened with splashes of the brighter tones and look new because many materials have glazes. All the images below enlarge. With both greys and gold tones found in pebbles and stones so currently fashionable, either silver grey or golden metals make a good AW (Autumn Winter) 06/07 choice for jewellery or accessory trims. Golden sequins, paillettes and beads, shimmer and glimmer on fabrics that appear to look like molten gold and sheets of liquid glistening glass. Gold is one of the season's hottest looks. I'm sure you will find gold dresses and jackets in every autumn range. For lovers of pinks good news, pink is still around, but it is either warmer becoming more coral/watermelon toned or more powdered and dustier toward heather/lilac. Warm Earth Tones, Powder Shades & Neutral WhitesSpring and summer saw a move toward natural tones, especially creamy and skin toned buffs or cameo pinks. Fall winter 2006/2007 predictions sees those fashion trend colours merge into earthier and more softened powdered colours. Powdery shades with brownish undertones are used as carob colours are teamed with each other or mixed and layered with old rose or mauve rose pinks. These clothing colours move through the mahogany tonal range and plum pinks. The latter also work well as contrast highlights to grey, charcoal tones and indigo blue dark inky shades. All are strongly acceptable urban colour ways. Greys paired with plum pinks create a seemingly fresh autumn colour scheme. Winter white set against black helps keep garments looking peppy and sharp, but many whites are soft and flattering with their creamy cast. White can also be as subtly subdued as a pearl or oyster grey like in tone.

The powdered soft-tones help create the newness of a more reserved palette. This dusty palette of the autumnal woodland floor is sometimes surprisingly livened by dashes or strong vibrant red, mahogany or purple. Metallica fashion looks are important - many colours are over burnished with a metallic cast and the fashion trendsetter will already be garnering more natural dusted earthy tones on their wardrobe rail.
