Key Colour on the Catwalk Womenswear Trend for Fall/Winter 2015-16

Immerse yourself in a world of colour for Fall/Winter 2015-16, as a palette of exciting and directional shades updates womenswear with a forward feel. Inspiring fresh new looks across everything from apparel and accessories to footwear, discover how these shades will be a key influence for fast fashion markets going into F/W 2015-16, as well as mainstream fashion markets for F/W 2016-17. This week, Fashion United readers can get a sneak peek at Modern Seventies Browns, an essential colour group trend for Fall 2016. These retro-inspired shades introduce a feel of 70´s nostalgia with rich hues like chocolate, chestnut and coffee. Modern Seventies Browns is just one of the dozens of trends Trendstop will be covering in our upcoming Fall 201 on Trend Forecast Presentation >> which we will be hosting live in London next month.

Modern Seventies Browns

Ideal for fall, sticky toffee-tinted shades are treated with orange undertones to introduce an autumnal warmth to collections, including our key Fall/Winter 2015-16 Fashion Colour Pumpkin Caramel. Relaxed, feminine tailoring expresses 70´s-inspired sophistication, while winter woollens emphasise comfort. Neutral colour contrasts can be used to add a clean, forward look, applied to details on outerwear and footwear.

Here, we see how black is paired with Modern Seventies tones to create a stark contemporary contrast, enhancing the richness of deep pumpkin shades. Blocking and repeats stand out with geometric shapes, complemented by tactile surfaces and brown tones with reddened brick casts. This trend can also update menswear designs as well as womenswear, as demonstrated in Givenchy's latest Fall/Winter collection.
