Here are some color trend advices for us to choose during autumn winter 2011-2012:

1. Soft Color is quite essential shades in autumn winter, as for this season, the colors should be less bright than those for spring summer. Less bright colors don’t necessarily equal to gloomy shades like black, grey and brown, but we can opt many colorful shades in more subtle and subdued rather than flashy.

2. Mood-improving bright details are also featured at some runways, giving ideas on how to keep warm during the season. If we insist on bright colors, instead of the soft ones, try to add some bright winter accessories, such as scarves, bags, hats, or even a great-looking pair of boots, or choose one vibrant shades to be focused at your entire attire. Be smart and keep balance, color blocking in shocking shades might not be appropriate for the winter, but if you want to do color blocking, try as neutral and soft as you can.

6. The neutrals, for some people might appear in very boring fashion style, but in fact, these colors always come mostly in every autumn winter color trends, and few of them look dull. Actually, neutrals can stay forever, they are versatile and can be easily combined with other pieces, both neutral or bright. Just play fun with the shades, for example black and white are the best neutrals to be paired with other shades, as they can minimize or maximize other tones to fit with your entire look. Most designers have proposed these colors at their runways Fall Winter 2011-2012, such as Guy Laroche, Herve Leger, and many more

All colors and prints might not be a key color for this season, as many designers have given less attention on the single and focused more on the color and prints combination. Color blocking is still in while keeping in mind to stay low, subtle and soft for our best appearance.
