Blues
Pantone say that Majolica Blue has more vibrancy than the usual navy, and this deep and mysterious teal blue brings an exotic flair to the group.
Left – Majolica Blue – PANTONE 19-4125.
Many of you, like me, will prefer the softer tint of the same colour as translated by pieces in washed out denim looks. But this tone does benefit when the texture is more interesting as in sequins or suede materials.
Far Right – Blue sequin top with bat wings, grey wet look leggings £95, Miss Selfridge AW 2009.

Blue is set to be one of the biggest colours for next summer so invest now in blue tones that suit your complexion. If this shade of blue does not look good near your skin, then opt for accessories like these buckle biker boots.
Left – Moda in Pelle Autumn/Winter 2009 Suede biker boot with stud straps.
Accent (blue) £95 – Due in: September.
Near Right – Blue Velvet Square Dress £49.50 (T56 3114) Marks & Spencer Autumn Winter 2009. Notice how shoulder interest here focuses on the aerial 80s theme of batwing and dropped shoulder loose sleeves.
A monochrome autumn palette of grey, more grey, charcoal black and white, is a cost effective basic neutral palette, to which you can add bursts of colour with accessories. But if you prefer to actually have some tonal colour then these neutrals below can help make your selections look expensive rather than dull.
Expensive tones of shell pink and beige blush tones are still as desirable as they were for spring, with many shops stocking this delicate colouration. These neutrals also mix well with them.
