YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE [AND WHAT TO BUY] FOR THE PANTONE 2016 FALL COLOR TRENDS
August 25, 2016

Every year there is a big deal made around what the PANTONE colors of the year are. Until now I’ve always been one to always just browse through the fashion magazines while I was impatiently waiting in line at the grocery store to see what was considered “on trend” for the season. Well folks, I’m turning over a new leaf and am vowing to be ahead of the game this year. When I saw that PANTONE released their fashion color report for fall 2016 I was anxious to see what colors they were saying will be huge this season. My biggest shock? Olive green wasn’t on there. All I’ve been buying recently has been olive green but you know what they say “screw it! wear it any way!” or at least that’s what I am choosing to say 😉 I do absolutely love the shade of green however that they chose and couldn’t be happier to see a few of the other colors listed.
I thought I would do us all a huge favor and browse some of my favorite websites to find items in all of these colors. I broke them all down below and made it super easy for you to shop. You’ll notice when you hover over an item it should show you the price [it does take a little bit to load so patience girlfriends] – you can quickly click on it to be taken to the site where you can buy. Any questions, holler at your girl – I got you.
Let the drum roll begin…annnnnnd, go.
Riverside – Cool and calming, strong and stable
Airy Blue – Light and full of serenity
Sharkskin – Pair-able with any fall color, bright or muted
Aurora Red – Bold red, exciting and dynamic
Warm Taupe – Trusted, organic and timeless
Dusty Cedar – Dustier rose toned pink
Lush Meadow – Rich and elegant, bright and sophisticated
Spicy Mustard – Spicier, zestier yellow
Potter’s Clay – Russet orange with a neutral earth tone
Bodacious – bright rich purple with hints of a sophisticated pink
And that’s a wrap people. Which color are you loving the most from this year’s fall trends? Any that you were surprised by or are excited to try?
