The Pantone World Color Organization primarily works with interior design, but this organization has a very strong influence on fashion. Each season, a selection of the 10 most fashionable colors of the season is aspirated by fashion designers and critics. And then the leading collections are dismantled, determining who is in the top ten
In the fall-winter 2017-2018 season, the fashionable color palette does not differ in originality. The top 10 included typically autumn basic shades, but, nevertheless, the collection looks rich and expensive. Pantone Leatrice Eiseman’s executive director described her as: “These are cocoon colors that you want to wrap yourself in order to feel completely secure and at peace”.
The top 10 most fashionable colors of the autumn-winter season 2017-2018 included:
♥ deep red;
♥ burgundy with eggplant tones;
♥ pale pink;
♥ beige;
♥ dark blue;
♥ Gray;
♥ dark green;
♥ golden green;
♥ aquamarine;
♥ muted orange.
Grenadine
Bright, effective, dynamic, grenadine is one of the most memorable shades of the red palette. In the coming autumn and winter, you must put it in the wardrobe and in the cosmetic bag (every red-haired girl must have red lipstick!).
This color draws all attention to itself, so the trend will be like absolutely red monolooks, as well as a combination of grenadine with calmer and deeper Navy Peony and Neutral Gray. By the way, this shade was called the key one at New York Fashion Week, which appeared on the catwalks in the form of shiny blouses and evening dresses by Oscar de la Renta, a loose cut coat from Jason Wu, strict trouser suits from Derek Lam and bright faux fur coats at Max Mara.
Tawny port
While grenadine is associated with pleasure and confidence, the Tawny Port shade looks more elegant and sophisticated. This burgundy color with a rich eggplant tint also belongs to the red family, so it looks very strong even in the monochrome version. But if desired, it can be combined with any color from the fashionable autumn-winter palette 2017-2018.
In this color, you can create the right look for almost any occasion – from a romantic date to a business meeting – as Jason Wu, Victoria Beckham, Prabal Gurung and Michael Kors did..
Ballet slipper
Although the fashion is used to bright and even flashy pink, Ballet Slipper has nothing to do with glamor. A mixture of lilac, white gives this delicious pale pink shade, which, along with Neutral Gray and Butterum, can be safely used as a base when creating a fashionable wardrobe for the fall-winter 2017-2018.
If desired, Ballet Slipper can be played as a retro shade, combining it with fashionable silver sequins or trendy shades of Navy Peony and Marina.
Butterum
Practical nude shades never go out of style. Even when the trend for naturalness went a bit, neutral Butterum ended up in the TOP 10 of the trendy colors of the cold season..
This is a true fall shade. Warm reddish-brown undertones blend perfectly with fashionable velveteen and voluminous knit, revealing the very structure of the fabric, “enriching” it. Also in light beige look light flying dresses, skirts, blouses – they are often found in the collections of Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Jonathan Simkhai and Max Mara.
Navy peony
The next Pantone fall-winter season 2017-2018 should be as traditional and calm as possible in the fall. Neutral colors like this dark blue are the perfect choice for fashionistas, because Navy Peony goes well with any shade from grenadine to golden lime..
But if you want to make sea blue the main color of the ensemble, as Phillip Lim and Jason Wu did, then it will look uncompromisingly bright and saturated. That’s what multidimensional color means.!
Neutral gray
Another win-win neutral, which is associated with stability, calm and even some severity. The Neutral Gray with a slightly dusty undertone is the Institute of Color’s ideal response to the universal desire for neutrality and autumn spleen..
A trendy color is suitable for wrapping it from head to toe (as Thom Browne did), and as an accent (Victoria Beckham, Gabriela Hearst). It is best suited for business images and everyday outings, but if you add a little fur, shine and a blue tint, you can get a good evening look.
Shaded spruce
Most likely, you are already aware that the key color of 2017 was called Greenery – the bright sunny color of greenhouses. Shaded Spruce was introduced especially for the cold season – a shade of calm and peace.
It has ocean depths, glare of evergreen trees, and the shadow of a forest … Oscar de la Renta and Brandon Maxwell have sung this shade in their collections. Monochrome coats, dresses, skirts, fur coats became the stars of fashion shows, and individual elements of decor or Shaded Spruce color inserts added gloss to clothes of other colors.
Golden lime
Sunny yellow and lush green are the primary colors of this spring. And their unusual mixture called “golden lime” smoothly migrated in the fall to slightly dilute typical autumn collections.
The golden subtone makes Golden Lime one of the most unusual shades of the autumn-winter season 2017-2108, its sparkles in the collections of J. Crew, Gabriela Hearst, Tory Burch harmoniously combine with all the dark colors from rich burgundy to blue and black.
Marina
The color of the sea coastal harbor called Marina is, perhaps, one of the most anticipated shades of the coming autumn. Moderately bright, cheerful, but incredibly elegant, it will 100% dilute the basic wardrobe of neutral colors.
It is most pleasant to combine this color of the sea wave with white, gray, beige, ivory and, of course, all shades of red from grenadine to brick-brown. If this gamut seems to you like a summer cast and a little sea, just add a little oversize and dense fabrics like tweed, as Calvin Klein, Sies Marjan, Tibi and Delpozo did.
Autumn maple
And finally, a truly autumnal tone called “autumn maple.” Either dark orange, or reddish-red, it will fit perfectly into any situation, giving it both a little calm and a little holiday.
It was called the “quintessential fall” and we, along with Coach, Phillip Lim, Brock Collection and Delpozo, fully agree with this designation. The color of autumn foliage, the setting sun, acorns and mushrooms, Autumn Maple is perfect for both calm Navy Peony and bright – Marina.
The palette of trendy colors for the fall-winter 2017-2018 season from the Pantone Color Institute is somewhat expected and traditional. Nevertheless, in combination with trendy structured materials such as silk, fur, tweed, velveteen, large knitting, these 10 actual shades will look as beautiful as possible. A neutral palette is useful for those who want to dilute their wardrobe with not too fashionable, but such beautiful tones..
Be the most fashionable beauty! Good luck!
