This winter, fashion has reached back into the past to firmly grasp prominent 70s trends and pulled them firmly to the present. The 70s were full of saturated color, rich textures, and laid-back sillouettes.
Some key colors in this new season are rust, yellow ochre, magenta, warm red, and teal. Note that all these colors are decidedly rich (as opposed to "barely colors" like ice blue or powder pink). Dote on yourself in jewel tones; warm yourself with color this winter!
Winter 2011-12 is a season of texture exploration. Step out of your comfort zone and into corduroy trousers, crocheted vests, chiffon blouses, and accordion skirts. If you're really feeling adventurous, spring for something sequin-laden for some blatant shine!
As for silhouettes, think classic 70s looks. Here is one look to get you started: a loose top paired with exuberantly flared pants (perhaps in rust orange) and army boots. Accessorize with a crocheted vest and a set of aviator sunglasses. There's no mistaking where you're getting your inspiration from.
This winter as you reluctantly bundle up, resist the pull of laziness regarding what you wear beneath that heavy jacket. Whether rain or snow, now is the perfect time for a fashionable you.
