While remaining firmly anchored within the general menswear trend of recent seasons of sensible, utilitarian and neo-realist clothing, F/W 2011 also has a fun and sometimes irreverent side, expressed through splashes of bright colours and classic tailoring with twenty-first century twists.
Classic
autumnal colours have resurfaced this season. From purple to burgundy through to
the very chic camels and olive shades, the colours of the changing season have
made their way into our wardrobes. Wear them tone on tone or mix them together
for a more fashion forward feel.
For
a still classic yet more casual fall look the traditional autumnal nuances
become brighter and include vibrant greens and indigo blue. The casual
silhouette takes a top-heavy form.
For
a boost of colour choose reds, orange, lime green or even a total look in
fuchsia. Add some individuality and pluck to your autumnal style.
Tailoring is at the centre of this autumn’s trends and 2011’s innovations. Wear it in all tones and shades of grey, even better if mixed and matched in order to highlight the sartorial excellence and dimensional details.
Grey is THE colour for F/W 2011. In contrast to the sleek monotone hues of the
optimum formal style, for causal chic match greys with injections of bright
colours, for a trendy yet not too daring off duty look.
Whether you opt for a traditional palette this autumn or you want to maintain a summery feel to your wardrobe, a splash of colour is a definite must have. Embrace the change of season and celebrate the autumnal hues.
