Daniel RidingNormally we associate the word ‘trend’ with a certain look, style or story being portrayed during certain seasons. However during the current autumn and winter seasons, colour has taken a bit of a leap into the trend spotlight and become a style all of its own. For once colour is being allowed to be integrated into an outfit made up of almost one colour in slightly different shades, and I never thought I would say this but it actually looks good. Autumn is a particular personal favourite due to the traditional autumn colour palette, and one colour in particular is always a winner; maroon. Not quite red but still has those same warm tones to it, but with a little bit of a darker feel.
Maroon, burgundy or ‘claret’ as the seriously style savvy gents would otherwise call it, is one of many colours reflective of autumn; be it the leaves that fall from the trees or the colour of red wine by a hot blazing fire in the evening. The associations with this colour are of warmth and festivities so it seems prefect hat many of the pieces we will show you are knitwear related.
Colour is a strange concept to be embraced during the colder seasons as it is stereotypically reserved for the few months of sun that we are graved with every year. So it is nice to see that designers and high street brands are embracing such rich tones as golden yellows, rich browns, and vibrant reds. You may already have noticed the influx of colour around the high street but if you haven’t, take a good look around and you will see some amazing pieces ready and waiting for you to add them to your wardrobes.
