When I was a kid and complained about being hot my mother would say “think cool thoughts”. What better way to cool yourself off than to think about Fall?
Fall 2021/Winter 2022 colors have been out for several months. Since I am no longer concerned with planning a line for our customers, I figured I could wait to talk about fall colors when retailors start to feature fall items.
Color will be used in uplifting ways. Everyone is still into the comfort zone for their clothing but at the same time are looking for colors to be bold. Pantone vice president Laurie Pressman sees the colors as follows. Pinks have been very big for spring/summer and will continue. True Red will dominate as a power color. There will be calm as well as energized yellows. Orange is described as “sweet and sour” and “soft and sharp”. It is a single color or as an accent to red and brown as well as pastels. Browns are “wood-inspired” and warm. Universal favorites are blues and greens. The greens “step away from natural vegetation and into a more mysterious realm pulled from under the sea”. Purples- “complex purples enhance Pantone’s mythology-based theme”.
Here are the colors for Fall 2021/Winter 2022. Experiment with color and try some monochromatic looks or mix up some bold colors.
How To Wow Now 
where did you get the swathes, girl? Do you have a personal account with Pantone? I wonder what happens down here in the winter- if they use fall colors on light clothing. I think I need to go shopping to see the lay of the land. I need to get more light/sleeveless clothing. Most of what I have it too heavy for a Florida summer. Hugs, J
