Saturated shades of yellow hit the runway for next fall. Shades range from goldenrod to ochre to greenish olive-oil tones and are used for everything from casual utility styles to soft dresses. The sunny colors look right in solids or as grounds for prints; the season’s cozy plaids get a nice uplift from yellow too. Designers work sulfurous shades in tonal ensembles or accent with black for maximum pop.
The one-shoulder silhouette replaces the off-the-shoulder “Bardot” as the shoulder-show neckline of choice. The one-shoulder look is a bit more sophisticated with its asymmetric cut, and offers myriad options for layering. Designers show the look on its own or worn over tees or tanks, in sleeveless or single-sleeved styles. The diagonal neckline can be slanted toward the opposite underarm, toga-style — or can drape over the top of the shoulder for a modified effect. The detail works for both knits and wovens, whether easy or body-con, and looks particularly fresh for activewear silhouettes.
