The biannual fashion show in Manhattan New York has just ended and now fashionistas like me already have an idea what are the trendy styles for 2012 Spring/Summer. But before we get so excited on the new trends for the next seasons, let’s take a look first the best styles of dress to wear for this year’s fall/winter season. In less than a week, we will welcome fall season and it is good if we already updated our wardrobe as early as now.

Want some ideas on what colors of dress to include in your closet for this season? Check this out.

If there’s a type of color that designers never get tired of using, they are the ones that come in neutral hues. Black is said to be the best neutral color for all seasons and no one can look bad by wearing black. It is also a perfect pick if you want to appear slim, elegant, and chic. But for people who are not used to wearing apparel in pure black, other neutral hues like silver, brown, grey, and white are often used to create contrast. These neutral colors also blend well with other hues.

Excluding the neutral colors, the most ideal shades for 2011 fall/winter season are hues that are more subdued. You have plenty of subsued shades to pick provided that they are not as bright or flashy as the colors for spring/summer. Here are some samples of hues ideal for 2011 fall/winter season.
