For their F/W 2014 collections, designers ditched last season’s pretty pastel hues and instead turned to rich and attention-grabbing colors like burgundy and gold. But what will be the color of fall? Our fashion editor and fashion director each make a case for their favorite below.

Team Burgundy
“Oxblood dominated the runways for fall 2012, and its return has me wanting more. From wine-stained lips at Rebecca Minkoff to oversized sweaters and midi skirts at Nanette Lepore, I’m predicting burgundy will be the perfect complement to any ensemble.”
– Nicole A., Fashion Editor

Team Gold
“Okay, so gold never really went out of style, but I’m predicting that it will be everywhere for fall 2014. From the 24-karat embroidery at Naeem Khan to the pretty lace dresses at Diane von Furstenberg, it’s gold’s time to shine.”
– Jackie N., Fashion Director

So whose hue wins? We’ll have to wait another several months to see…
