Fall 2012 Trend: Black and Blue

One of fall 2012's hottest color combinations is black and blue. It's a sultry duo, no doubt, and it makes a subtle, but strong, impact when done correctly.

Because it's on trend for autumn, you'll find a number of blouses, cardigans, dresses and even coats that combine the two colors. You can also do a little mixing and matching from your own wardrobe or buy a few individual pieces to incorporate into your ensembles this year.

Below I've rounded up various black and blue accessories/garments, some monochromatic and others that employ both colors, to help inspire your outfits for fall 2012. Check them out and let us know what your favorite fall 2012 trend is in the comment section.
