Button Beige

The Colors of Fashion for Spring 2009

Soft creamy tints created a neutral backdrop, while electric hues emphasized eye-catching silhouettes. Blushing pink beiges, neutral beiges, creamy whites, and various tones of slate blue were popular color choices. Their soft, and dusty tonal qualities allowed them to easily mix with other basic neutrals (e.g. navy), and achromatic black and white; therefore making them excellent choices.

The bold colors that were worn last spring included orange, mango, tangerine, bright fuchsia, rusty red, magenta, and shocking hot pink; with the key colors being, lemon yellow, tangerine, orange and antique gold. Exotic colors, reminiscent of the 1980s dynamic flare! In the aqua blue/green family; vibrant green, jade, aqua, deep green, bright sky blue, and deep royal blue reigned supreme, while citron green created a fresh and clean vibe. Monochromatics created trend setting styles in; slate grey, black, navy, light beigey taupe, cream and white.

Last season's colors were represented by the classic, geometrical forms that were popular in the 80s. Re-vamped nautical wear designed with red, white and blue striped combinations, in tops and jackets created a true Maritime feel. Similarly white or navy colored, high-waisted, deep buttoned waistbands that flowed into wide flared legs, pants with turn-ups, or button only closures re-created the high-fashion sailor look. Distressed denims, acid and stonewashed styles with ripped and frayed elements were also great pieces for the everyday fashion recessionista!

Large blocks of bright colors, mixes of soft sorbet tones, and combinations of brights paired with soft sorbet colors graced the female form in boyfriend style jackets, and shoulder flattering tops (two of last season's must have pieces).

Voluminous puff, batwing, full length, cap and kimono sleeves draped in soft fabrics, bold colors and textures (e.g. chiffon and feathers) that emphasized the shoulders were key design elements last season. Similarly the retro chic, asymmetrical one-shoulder dress in short and floor length maxi gown styles (e.g. Michelle Obama's Inauguration Ball Gown), and Goddess draped designs (with or without embellished hems of feathers, fringe embroidery etc.) represented bold statement pieces of timeless elegance and design.

Metallics, florals, water-color prints, and exotic animal prints in bright vibrant non-animal colors played an important role when it came to accessorizing last season. Nature inspired, smooth exotic brooches, as well as; huge necklaces and cocktail rings, retro and vintage gem looks, tribal necklaces, and stacked cuff bangles in citrus green, and yellow tones added sparkle and shine to every outfit.

Finally the piece de resistance that could make or break any outfit created quite an impression last season with the resurgence of Taxi Cab Heels, and Gladiator Sandals in natural tones and bold colours; undoubtedly helping to make a lasting impression, and an unforgettable colorful 2009 Spring Fashion Season!
