Fashion trends Spring/Summer 2012 Colour Combinations
By now we should have accepted the fact that spring/summer is almost here, and the transformation from lightweight t-shirts and shorts to a wardrobe full of knitwear and heavyweight clothing has been completed.
Today we are going to take this to the next level by covering some key colour combinations for spring/summer 2012.
If you haven’t got an extrovert bone in your body, keeping things simple might be the key element that defines your personal style. Wearing a bright blue and bright red combination in the winter isn’t going to be your thing, but that is nothing to be ashamed of.
Today we will be focussing on the key colours that have been highlighted already this season, and with these, create colour combinations that help bring out the best of them. Luckily, every single combination utilises neutrals such as black, grey and brown, which means you might just see a combination that even die hard monochromatic fans will enjoy incorporating into their wardrobe of mode homme.
Burgundy has been highlighted as a key colour for this autumn/winter, and when paired with black it can be seen as a “stand out” colour. Burgundy is just a deeper shade of red, but it can still be used to make a statement when the black acts as a dark base for it to play off.
Perfect for this season, the beige and brown colour combination creates an autumnal feel. This combination first caught my eye when I spotted a shearling jacket that utilised brown for the leather and beige as an accent colour for the shearling. This is a prime example of easily implementing a colour combination into a look without much thought.
Orange has already been highlighted as a key colour for this mode masculine season, and grey seems to bring the best out of it. Dark burnt orange creates more of a rustic feel in comparison to brighter tangerine hues – which create much more of a summer feel. Opt for a dark grey where possible, as this will create more of a contrast and allow the orange tone to really come alive.
So they’re you have it, some key colour combinations you may want to use for this autumn/winter season. We’ve looked at how to keep things simple – focusing on toned down colours – along with ways to add statement colours by combining brighter tones with neutralisers.
