From the beginning of autumn when it’s still sunny and warm ’til the end of the season when it may even snow, the feeling of fall is in the colors of the earth and the trees. So in the spirit of autumn leaves falling, if we surround ourselves in the changing colors that we see around us we feel in sync with nature. Age doesn’t matter. These colors are a gift to us from our Mother Earth.
Even if the weather is still hot, you can wear your lightweight, cool summer clothes in fall hues, such as: orange, red, rust, mustard yellow, navy, teal, purple, gray and burgundy. The neutral fall colors are the earth tones, such as: chocolate brown, olive green, sage green and camel. These are the colors — from brights to neutrals — to wear all season long.
Navy can take the place of black in your fall outfits. Pantone Color Institute’s executive director Leatrice Eiseman said, “When you move into the classic colors, we know that classics don’t change all that much. Yet we will see or expect a preponderance of certain colors. Sargasso Sea is that staple fall color. Navy is like the new black so to speak. It doesn’t replace black, of course. As navy blues have gained in recent seasons, this is an acknowledgement that this is the mooring of our entire palette.” (For more about Pantone’s A/W 2018 color palettes, read my post “How to Update Your Look with Color in the Fall.”)
