STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Maroon is The New Black

October 16th, 2015 at 2:00am

When we think of dressing up for an interview we usually opt for dark colors like black, gray or blue, but what we forget about are colors that are both vibrant and still sophisticated. Maroon is one color that is always trendy for fall. It’s easy to match with neutral colors and adds a fun pop of color to your clothing without making your outfit too vibrant.

Maroon is a hot color this season. If we take a look at fashion week around the world this fall, we see that maroon pops up in several designer’s runway looks.  Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith and Missoni are just a few of the designers who featured maroon in their runway shows. From large overcoats paired with bright shoes, to sleek, long suit jackets and fitted patterned dress pants with fuzzy, warm jackets, maroon is definitely a fashionable and versatile color.

At this point you’re probably wondering, “How do you take this look from the runway to the street?” Check out this Fashionisto’s look for one of the many simple ways to add maroon to your outfit. A simple light chambray shirt allows his maroon colored pants to pop. The black, square-tipped loafers, dark sunglasses and classy black watch keep the outfit simple and sophisticated for an interview, yet the rolled up sleeves allow the outfit to have an effortlessly laid back look.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I think clothing should be as colorful as possible, as long as it doesn’t clash.”
