Ask Fashion Girl

Dear SpyKZ,

Color in men's clothes for fall and winter 1998 tends to be more imaginative and bolder than last season with a lot more saturation. There is a continued popularity of browns and oranges with rich autumn tones. Yellow-greens continue to be strong while purples are beginning to make a comeback. Neutrals even seem richer with hints of color. Check out your favorite store or fashion magazine to see examples of how this season's color trends create a fresh look through newly interpreted colors.

As far as wearing black with brown - ABSOLUTELY! Black is always in fashion and brown is an excellent accent color for a strong, serious look. If you are wearing brown shoes, be sure to wear a brown belt or other brown accessory. Good luck and have fun shopping.
