Fall 2012 Fashion Trends: Black and Winter White

Many of fall's fashion trends are very easy to wear and are variations on classic looks.

Black and white were popular neutrals on the fall runways, whether worn separately or together.  Black and white is easily my favorite color combination.  It's a classic combination that's easy to wear, always looks chic, and can easily be transformed to fit a variety of moods.

Black and white suiting was quite popular on the runway, continuing with the colorblocking trend. The color combination is crisp and fresh and so graphic and interesting. Loving suiting and black and white, I am very excited about this fall trend!

Black and white suiting is easy to wear and will never really go out of style so it makes for good investment pieces. I am jonesing for a new white tuxedo blazer wih black lapels. If I can find some black pants with tuxedo stripes, all the better.

Winter white or ivory is softer and more flattering for most skin types than pure white. The old rules of no white agree labor day has long since been abandoned. In fact, white dresses were everywhere for fall.
