It is not just the beautiful red, orange, and yellow leaves that tend to catch one's eyes during the fall season, the choice of color in fashion has a great advantage in doing so as well. Whether your color of choice be Emerald, Carafe, Acai, Koi, Samba, Vivacious, Linden Green, Deep Lichen Green, Mykonos Blue, or Turbulence, your ensemble will be right on track with the fad. You are probably thinking to yourself where in the world did she come up with these colors? Well, according to The Pantone Color Institute, these 10 colors are the trends for fashion this fall. So, which one of these colors did Pantone name as the "color of the year?"

Drum roll please.............. Emerald, a lively and radiant lush green, is the answer. High-end fashion labels such as Burberry (picture on the right) are incorporating this color into their fashion. From coats and pants to cute tops and accessories, this rich shade is going to be a huge hit this fall. As I stated in my previous blog, blazers (picture on the left) are a great fashion choice for all seasons, but especially for fall. A blazer of the emerald green color would make for a considerably classy appearance. The woman on the left also chose to coordinate gold jewelry into her ensemble, which accentuates the emerald green color very well.

Emerald is perfect for both tops and pants. The picture on the left displays the various options. Since colored jeans still remain trendy this fall, incorporating Emerald green pants into your outfit is a great way to stay on top of the trend. The color can easily be paired with Cognac leather boots (as displayed), black boots, or basically any neutral shade. Emerald gives off a very sophisticated look and can be dressed up for an effect of elegance or down for a more casual appearance.

Accessorizing with Emerald may be my personal favorite look when it comes to wearing this green shade. Whether choosing a scarf, purse, shoes, statement necklace, or other forms of jewelry, accenting your attire with Emerald green is an exquisite choice. Emerald is a color that can be embraced in small or larger doses, depending on your mood or your own personal decision. So, if you want to wear Emerald in smaller doses, choose to accent with Emerald accessories. A simple idea to incorporate the color, but also a wise way to make a classy fashion statement.

 However you choose to wear Emerald this fall, the positive news is that there will be plenty of it in stores. Whether you incorporate Emerald into your ensemble by wearing a blazer, pants, cute top, or as an accessory, you will be right on trend. Pantone sure believes so!
