TRENDS OF AUTUMN
CHAPTER 1
LET'S TALK ABOUT PASTEL
 |
| TOPSHOP LONDON FASHION WEEK FALL 2013 |
Hey hey everyone. How was your weekend? Mine was quite relaxing yet fun. However, one thing I noticed this weekend is the sudden change in the weather. In many countries all over the world and now in Greece too, autumn started to set in for good. You all know the signs; temperature drops, it's a bit chilly outside (enough to need a cardigan), boots start to replace the sandals etc. And since autumn is making an appearance I did some research to find out the hottest season trends. I was quite surprised to see that one of the major trends of this time of the year is the pastel colors on clothes and shoes. Pastel is a term refering to the candy like shades of colours that are not very vibrant or dark but on the contrary they are very bright. Although many will consider this palette as more approrpiate for spring, many major highstreet and high fashion brands will disagree. Topshop, Moschino, Celine and even Oscar de la Renta incorprorated pink, baby blue and light yellow in their fall 2013 collections. Inspired by the elegants and delicate look of 1920's, this trend is combining colours that are quite girly and brings a new fresh breath in the usually dark and somewhat difficult boarderline autumn wardrobe. But dont be fooled! Althought the colours may seem quite innocent and sweet, imagine pvc pencil skirts and mini dresses, all in powdery shades of pink and blue. Quite feminine and sexy don't you think? Easy to style as long as you are in a playfull mood, pastel is here to stay and to change the way we perceive the fall-winte fashion rules. And dont forget the optimistic effect of these colours; wearing a pink coat on a cold, cloudy day is definately going to lift your mood and cheer you up. However, the candy like colours are not a part of this fall's fashion but also this season's make up palette. Include those lovely colours in your everyday make up for a more romantic subtle look. Eyes or lips it doesn't matter;it will brighten up your face and make it even look younger and less tired. It's the magic of the colours guys i swear! Girly yet femine, powdery colours are a fall must in every fashionista's wardrobe.Or makeup kit. ;) What do you guys think about the new autumn trend? How do you feel about pastel colours in fall wardrobe? Comment below and share your opinion/thoughts! Till next time!

Hi Vicky! Loved your post regarding pastel colours, because they are out of my favourites and not only during this fall that they have become kind of trend.I have a pink pastel leather jacket that I bought from Stradivarius last year which is very girly and easy to wear.I think that pastel in floral prints is also a very nice to wear to idea, such as t-shirts or shirts on floral prints which possibly combine white, grey and pink pastel colours.
