Men's Color Trends for Fall/Winter 2012

Men's Color Trends for Fall/Winter 2012


The year 2012 is all about checks, window panes and plaid patterns – being for shirts or ties.  Of course, solid and stripe shirts are ever classic and allow for the use of bold Polka dot ties that are in the center of fall/winter fashion.

Since suits call for simplicity, with designs ranging from solid to pin stripe to muted plaid and tweeds, pairing CAFÉ COTON shirts and ties will be very easy.  For the more adventurous dressers, combining stripes and checks will be acceptable.  As a brand that promotes elegant simplicity, we advise men to avoid mixing bold stripes with bold window panes, or thin stripes with thin checks.  The idea for fabric patterns is always to complement not clash.

Men's Fashion Color Trends for Winter 2012

Men's Fashion Color Trends for Winter 2012

 
The fall/winter 2012 dominant color ranges from Azure to Indigo blue. Although Indigo blue is a staple for our ties, CAFÉ COTON does not recommend it for shirts.  A rule of thumb for masculine elegance is to avoid a lighter color for the tie than for the shirt – unless you like the “Sopranos look”!

An Indigo shirt does not leave you with many choices except for a black tie – and that looks a little too much like one of those wardrobe design for militias in futuristic totalitarian regimes that we see in not so great movies… The CAFÉ COTON color for our winter shirt collection will be Azure Blue.  Although blue may be the most classic color in men’ shirts, some of the blues can translate to very trendy colors.  Since the fall/winter trend is calling for simplicity, wearing an Azure blue shirt will agree with any kind of color suit and tie, and this shade of blue is definitely modern.  For the latest iMen's style and fashion, we try a bit harder for you.

The official Pantone website gives other directions depending on the type of activity: “Rhubarb, a deep, pungent hue, brings intensity to the palette, and is best paired with Tangerine Tango and Honey Gold for a typical collegiate look. To hit the ski slopes in style, combine Ultramarine Green with Bright Chartreuse and Olympian Blue for the ultimate in winter athletic apparel.”

These colors will do amazingly well with all CAFÉ COTON casual shirts where checks and window panes will be predominant this season.  As for our ties, we will be offering variations of these colors to accommodate assortments geared to every occasion.
