Today I’d like to share with you the Pantone Color Trends Autumn/Winter 2016/17.


#1: Riverside



The roster of the fall/ winter 2016 color trends is led by Riverside, a cool and calming blue that is literally stuck between serious navy blue and vibrant cobalt blue.


#2: Airy Blue 



The Blue dynasty was indubitably rocking throughout all the four 2016 fashion weeks playing with all its possible shades and exploring all the avenues ranging from icy blue to cobalt and navy blues.


#3: Sharkskin



Grey palette has always been in attendance at fall/winter runway shows year in year out, but it came as an aha moment for us this time that it is Sharkskin to work triumphantly all over the map whether with bright or muted shades, whether in everyday life or on special occasions. Through fashion houses using this stable shade in abundance we are now bumping into another grand fall/ winter 2016-2017 color trend to embrace our wardrobes soon enough.


#4: Aurora Red 



The fall/ winter 2016-2017 color trends also offer up oceans of red shades ranging from burgundy and carmine to crimson and scarlet. But chalk it up to Aurora Red to let no grass grow under feet coming as the fourth trendy color of the upcoming fall/winter seasons. This is bold Red with some sensual and warm undertones, not so bold as burgundy and not so vibrant as crimson, but wrapped with some mysterious dust. According to Pantone’s Institute, this gets the metaphorical blood of the palette pumping.


#5: Warm Taupe 



The next stability and reassurance-emanating color that has embraced the fall/winter runway shows many a time and oft is neutral Warm Taupe, characterized by Pantone as trusted, organic and grounded and approachable enough to be matched with each of the 9 colors on the list. If it is about the fall season, then it comes as no surprise to see timeless trench coats in spades down the streets and if it is about trench coats, then Warm Taupe is sure to be up hill and down dale.


#6: Spicy Mustard 



Spicy Mustard comes as one of the most vibrant fall/ winter 2016 color trends that will add some exotic and zesty touches to any outfit, speaking about its carrier’s living in clover. As it would be expected, it’s not spring-worthy sunny yellow, bereft of any shimmering rays, but instead squirted with some spices to become a little bit muted and out-and-out fall-worthy.
The fall/winter 2016 fashion weeks find many a designer embracing this spicy shade, some of them dreaming up head-to-toe Spicy Mustard outfits, while others inserting some prints, embellishments or accessories in this shade. We see Chloe going for all the marbles and rendering out an incorporeal tulle dress, while those leather boots in mustard shade happening at high frequency are synched up to the overall adventurous spirit of the Chloe fall/winter 2016 runway show.


#7: Bodacious 



Among all the pink-purple shades it is Bodacious that has mostly enchanted fashion designers thus shaping up one of the fall/ winter 2016 fashion color trends. This bright, rich purple with some pink undertones to it is wrapped with coquettish milieu, simultaneously functioning effectively for versatile color combinations.
Seeing this shade vagabonding through cold seasons is somewhat bizarre, but spreading tranquility and composure around is on the agenda at this juncture, which is handled by contemporary fashion designers, as well.


#8: Khaki & Olive Green 



The safari style has been all over the board at the recent fall/winter runway shows and it can’t be helped to revel in khaki and olive green shades circulating all the while with all their earth-gravitating spirit.
We see the 3.1 Phillip Lim collection at New York Fashion Week all saturated with a khaki and olive green mishmash with some Spicy Yellow accents in between – many slouchy pants, puffed jackets and tops with a lot of ropes swinging to and fro, the whole shooting match screaming an adventuresome journey. Ports 1961 also jumps at this safari bandwagon, while at Topshop Unique we greet heartily those khaki outerwear designs with some military dashes to them.


#9: Metallic Touches 



Metallic silver, gold, bronze and at times even some pink and blue can assuredly be included in the best fall/ winter 2016-2017 color trends with frosted dashes to them. At Zimmermann metallic bronze, grey and baby blue dresses with poetic sleeves look gorgeous as all get-out, while at Jil Sander metallic dresses can easily pass off as tin plates.
We observe a metallic skirt suit and a dress at Chanel, a glamorous pantsuit derived from the swinging ‘60s at Roberto Cavalli, a mirror-like sensual slip dress at Cushnie et Ochs and a range of metallic golden stunners at Off-White effectively matched with Aurora Red.


#10: Powdery Pastel Colors 



Who said pastels are only for the warmer seasons? At least, you can easily wear them during the first months of fall, when the sun is still shining and you don’t want to give in to the gloomy shades so easily. Definitely one of the most delicate fall 2016 color trends, pastel blues, pinks, mints and touches of peach appeared on the runways in abundance, but we especially liked the way those were brought to the cold months by Versace, Balmain, Carven, Givenchy, Kenzo, Alexander Mcqueen and Michael Kors.
