Fall fashion trend #1 is neutrality.
Neutral colors ruled the runway during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York when designers showed their fall collections for 2010. At Ralph Lauren, there was lots of black along with some brown, tan, putty, and gray. Michael Kors showed fashion in classic camel as well as gray, black, and a bit of winter white while Max Azria concentrated mainly on black clothing with a few garments done in gray or winter white.Should petite women

Buy, Tweak, or Skip?
buy, tweak, or skip the neutral colors trend for fall/winter 2010/2011? Here's a trend that every woman can wear and adapt to her own fashion personality, so I rate this trend a buy. Neutral colors go with anything, and so they're a valuable part of a fashionable wardrobe, but there's no need to invest in a neutral color that you don't especially like. Building a fashionable wardrobe around one or two basic neutrals makes a lot of fashion sense and can also be a money saver because garments in neutral colors can be worn so many different ways, and a dark neutral color, such as black, can be used by petites who want to look taller by wearing a monochromatic color palette.
