Immerse yourself in a world of colour, as the team at Trendstop.com reveal all the essential new shades emerging for the upcoming winter season. From Fashion Colours and Core Colours to Accents & Active and Metallics, discover how these essential shades will influence womenswear collections going forward into F/W16-17. This week, FashionUnited readers are presented with a key Colour Group for Fall/Winter 2016-17, named In the Darkened Shadow. In this trend, intensely dark tones that look almost black are updated with new colour casts, creating sophisticated shades that introduce depth to products.

In the Darkened Shadow

A classic midnight dark is infused with rich aubergine undertones, inspiring elegant wintertime looks. Evening-ready dresses combine matte fabrics with plush velvet panels and embellishment, while oversized sunglasses add mystery with tinted lenses. The colour also lends itself well to glossy leather accessories, seen here in the form of a miniature bag.

A key Metallic for Fall/Winter 2016-17, Black Onyx brings a dark yet luxurious shine to the women's wardrobe. Coated fabrics catch the light in the form of stiff midi skirts and snakeskin coats, which can be paired with statement jewellery for a decadent touch. Other stylings create a play on texture, as metallic surfaces contrast with soft knit accessories.

This season, navy is revisited with a dimension of enhanced depth, inspiring shades of the darkest ink that stop only a shade away from black. Simple winter dresses express a newfound formal feel, while supple unlined leathers combine with matte suede on contemporary footwear. The colour also offers a dramatic shade for cosmetics, applied in bold strokes around the eye.
