How To: Styling Your Colors for Fall

As the leaves turn and the air crisps, it’s time to rethink your wardrobe and embrace the magic of fall! Each season in the color palette—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—offers a unique way to style your favorite hues as the days grow shorter and the nights cooler. Let’s dive into how to bring out the best in your colors this fall!

Spring

Spring palettes are vibrant and fresh, characterized by warm, bright colors. This can be one of the hardest palettes to style for fall. We recommend embracing the deeper colors and neutrals in your palette.

• Layering: Try pairing a neutral color top with a jean jacket to embrace the chillier days. Pair with your favorite fall shoes.
• Textures: Incorporate cozy materials like wool or cashmere to bring warmth to your look while staying true to your spring palette. You can also mix and match textures like we’ve styled Lexi below.

Summer

Summer palettes are soft, cool, and slightly muted, featuring cool undertones like lavender, rose, and dusty blue. Fall is the perfect time to swap out those lighter summer colors with the deeper blues, purples, and reds. 

• Rich Accents: Incorporate deeper shades of your summer favorites. This is what we’d do (shown below): burgundy colored top paired with navy corduroy pants or plum colored faux leather pants paired with a deep navy top and a lighter denim jacket. The contrast of the colors together makes it the perfect fall look for a summer.

Autumn

Autumn palettes are all about warmth and richness, boasting colors like burnt orange, deep red, and olive green. If you’re already in love with these hues, fall is your time to shine!

• Statement Pieces: A rust-colored vest is a fantastic statement piece. Paired with deep, olive green corduroy pants it will be sure to pop!
• Play with Your Palette: To add depth and contrast to your outfits, make use of some of those lighter colors in your palette on top while pairing it with dark wash jeans on bottom. 

Winter

Winter palettes are striking and dramatic, filled with jewel tones and stark contrasts—think royal blue, hot pink, and classic black. Fall is a wonderful opportunity to embrace these bold colors while softening their intensity.

• Layering Neutrals: A vibrant jewel-toned top can be beautifully balanced with neutral-toned trousers or skirts. The styles pictured below are a Winter’s perfect fall outfits—one for a more casual day and one when you need to dress it up.

Final Thoughts

As you transition your wardrobe for fall, remember that your seasonal palette can guide you in styling your colors beautifully. Don’t be afraid to experiment with layers, textures, and accessories to bring your unique style to life. Whether you’re a Spring or a Winter, there’s a way to embrace the beauty of fall while staying true to your colors.
