Fall Trend Alert: "Ugly" Becomes Pretty

Burgundy, Olive, and Mustard have always been looked at as the "ugly" colors of the fashion world. I myself absolutely refused to wear even a hint of any of these three colors. But starting in August I became obsessed with exactly these three colors, and now over half of my wardrobe for this season consists of them. I also started to notice these colors popping up in more and more of this season's collections; Raf Simons, Maison Martin Margiela, Acne, Dior Homme, and others. I knew that these colors, or at least Olive/Military Green and Burgundy would be huge this season. My intuition usually fairs me well, and surely enough the colors of the season are exactly as I predicted. Mustard isn't quite as popular as I predicted, but there are still a few pieces which I think are absolutely necessary for the coming months. Here are a few examples of runway looks that incorporate one of these three colors:
