Red Colour Fashion Trends for Autumn 2011 & Winter 2012
Here is my assessment of the important warm fashion colour red for Autumn 2011
and Winter 2012. The warmer jewel tones in fashion include
scarlet/guardsman red, emberglow/coral,
pink ruby,
rich garnet,
carnelian and
rose amethyst.
Left - Dorothy Perkins Pleated Red Skirt, White/Black Stripe
Sweater Top.
Right - Dorothy Perkins Red Dress.
Pleats are currently in vogue so this skirt and these dresses
here might be pieces to add to your shopping list.
If you are too busy to do colour blocking
yourself, then retailers have taken the hard work out of your
hands, and produced colour block pieces in all clothing ranges. Red mixed
with black and white is typical colour blocking combo.
Winter reds are both bright and rich in tone and add good
contrast when set against black or camel.

The strongest most youthful appealing coat silhouette at Designer shows was the sixties Mod and seventies remix
coat.
Coats are great statement making top
cover. Ladylike tailoring is on
the must-have list for winter 2011/12 and 60s swing coat styles
have a pert prim neatness about them

Whilst the pussy bow blouse is in shops everywhere, many prefer
less fitted simpler bloused styles. This certainly is the season
of the blouse. There are so many styles and textures to choose
from, including heavily beaded blouses, fragile lace or sheer
tops.
Left - Sophie Grey Collection At BHS - Red
Wrap Blouse.
Right - Warehouse AW11 Deep Red Cocktail Blouse With Peter Pan
Beaded Collar.
Make yourself noticed in this stunning red wrap blouse. Team it
with a plain black skirt, red jeans black palazzo pants or
leggings for Christmas morning. Colour clash by mixing it with
bright pink or hot orange jeans. But get that lucky man to
notice you.
Or check out your back of the closet items that only get a turn
every festive season. Team them with a pretty beaded collar
cocktail blouse, for a feminine trendy touch.
Covetable touches with colour include Mary Katrantzou's red
soled printed boots. Whilst at Kurt Geiger luscious jewel toned shoes,
or triple Mary Janes, will satisfy shoe colour desires. The high
street and online websites all have a good selection of
colourful footwear. These red boots are from

Left - Red Knee Length Boots £279. Elégance Autumn/Winter 2011.
Right - Red Fringe Boot Primark AW11 - £18.
For the edgiest look this
season mix and contrast bold colours will bring the zest of
living colours into your world. Red is a bold colour that goes
on and on.
Raspberry reds vie with orange brights and rusty carnelian
tones. In red hues think lipstick red, ruby red, geranium
and hot fuchsia pink. Colour-block new red garments with new
orange
and pink items
or use old
black pieces
to create fashion buzz that will take your apparel into spring 2012.
Lipstick has made a huge comeback. Bright reds and orange in
a matte pout is the way to work kissable lips. Tom Ford has a
wonderful red with his Private Blend Lip Colour in Cherry Lush
at £35. Before you apply any lipstick, make sure your lips are
free of dry skin; using a toothbrush and some lip balm will ease
away the loose skin. Flaky lip skin destroys what might be a
most kissable pout. Estee Lauder is the counter to head for a
fast update on lipstick must-haves. That must-have lipstick is
RED.
