OK, but how do I wear them?

Red. Has clearly made a comeback and you'll find it with folkloric prints and also in subtle touches like lace or a belt. It's often a   dark red with a hint of blue.

In the same scope is  Purple which will be winter's star. Between prune, bordeaux and red, Purple will be the must have. We find several shades in this colour such as violet and Prune.  

Mustard will be much used to contrast  grey or navy blue  for a very nice effect.

Blue  very present also and will vary from a blue-green hue to navy but is mostly dark.

We still like summer 2009 colours as Shell, Nude and pale pink are still in vogue.

Taupe replaces grey but grey is still very ' in' and varies from very light to very dark.

Green is soft and pale: almond green, seagreen and pine green with a blueish tinge.

Still lots of gold  like last winter, in sequin form, but also textiles and leather.

Black  is also making a comeback and plays contrast with soft colours such as nude.

So pick some colours and get creating!
