In the world of fashion, black is like peanut butter and jelly: it’s a go-to staple that never disappoints. Vera Wang knows this better than most. Her Fall 2015 line-up was a blackout—though an ivory fisherman pullover did drop anchor during the show—but somehow there’s an incredible lightness to her signature dark shadows. Bubbled hem dresses, fluid column gowns and drawstring maxi skirts add a dash of surprise to this sober palette.
But mourning isn’t on the menu next fall; in fact things are shaping up to be rather fizzy. Colour is key. Designers are hauling out their Crayola crayons and scribbling way outside the lines with their bright, bold palettes for fall. Think of these colourful pieces as your daily dose of Vitamin C when the skies turn 50 Shades of Grey and the wind whips through your all-black armour. A juicy hit of yellow, tangerine or salmon pink, is just what the fashion doctor ordered. Get inspired with these five bright ideas from Fall 2015:
