The Fall 2018 “IT” Color – Mustard

“Ceylon Yellow”

According to Vogue Magazine,

Ten fashionable colors compose the main palette of the Fall Winter 2018 2019 collections. Warm and autumnal  tones alternate with vibrant and strong hues much loved by millennials, like shocking pink.  I would add also loved by mid-lifers!

• Whisky brown: a warm, enveloping hue, just like the famous liquor. Its natural nuances remind of wood’s veining.
• Cherry red: a “full-bodied” color, ideal to enhance velvet, tulle and satin. Ideal for elegant, retro-feel looks.
• Digital blue: the color of almost all social networks. A color that evokes technology, and the future. Perfect for all cyber girls.
• Fuchsia pink: it’s still one of the favorite hues with designers. Exuberant if worn from head to toe, or as a creative detail.
• Lavender: also called “lilac”, it’s a pastel tone that, unlike pink or baby blue can add character to a statement or intricate outfit.
• Orange: Fall’s symbolic hue, it will stand out with all its “vitaminic” effect.
• Sapphire yellow: to uplift classic patterns, like florals or checks.
• Olive green: apparently subdued, it is similar to military green but has a golden undertone.

How to Wear the “Mustard” Trend

Last week, Brittany and I styled the same fall trends to show that both millennials and mid-lifers can rock the same look.  (Millennial and MId-Lifer Shop and Style the Same Fall Trends) This week we’re sharing how we both styled the fall “IT” color mustard:

BRITTANY:  

Brittany chose a mustard colored cardi paired with black jeans, over the knee boots, a white tee and a wine colored scarf. Wine or “Red Pear” is a great accent color to wear with mustard.

JULIE:

This mustard colored cardi and white tee are actually Brittany’s.  I borrowed both for our photo shoot.  Aother example of how a millennial and a mid-lifer can shop the same stores and wear the same things!  This cardi paired great with my blanket scarf, which was also featured in last weeks blog on fall trends, skinny dark wash jeans and booties.  The white tee has an interesting diagonal cut in the front.  Cardi’s are a super hot trend for any age.  The beauty of cardis is that they hid many flaws and are super figure flattering on all body types.  Additionally, really long dusters are trending so if a cardi is long on you don’t shy away from wearing it!

ADDITIONAL STYLING SUGGESTIONS

I am a big fan of wearing all shades of yellow so I’m having lots of fun wearing it in so many ways!

The pants are new but I shopped my closet for the rest of this look.  If mustard isn’t your color, think of ways to wear it in smaller details such as this blouse with pops of mustard.

This look incorporates the same mustard pants from the first look with a fall floral duster.  The floral has touches of mustard and this look could be paired with black pants.  Dark floral is also a fall trend and great way to add a pop of mustard if wearing a lot of it isn’t your thing.

POPS OF MUSTARD IN SMALLER DETAILS

Pops of mustard yellow are worn in this look both in my suede sandals and the dark floral top.  This look could be dressed down by pairing it with jeans.  The dark floral as mentioned above is a fall trend.  I love the big tassel tie.  The loose flowing top is great for hiding any mid-section flaws.

MUSTARD MOTO JACKET

Totally had to have this mustard colored moto jacket!  I was brave here and pattern mixed the mustard floral top with the window pane pants!  This is something I’m not good at but always admire on others!

CASUAL LOOK WITH MUSTARD CARDI

Who doesn’t love a fun graphic tee?!  I absolutely had to have this MTV tee because it brought back so many great memories for me of Lori and I sitting in our college apartment watching the music videos on a very small (probably 13″ TV) in 1983 watching the same 10 music videos over and over and over again!  Additionally, I love the bright yellow, pink and blue in the tee.  I added the mustard cardi to finish off my casual look.
