Swapping Summer Shades For Cozy Neutrals:
It is crucial to notice how within the change of seasons, new colors are transitioning into style. Shown by Vogue and Pantone, some top colors taking over this autumn are shades of reds, browns, creams, jewel tones, purples, and oranges. Those are more neutral colors; however, pops of limes, pinks, and yellows have shown up in fall fashion lately. Although brown has always been a consistent favorite fall color, Pantone, an official digital platform that provides the universal system for communicating and controlling color consistency, debuts their “Mocha Mousse” to be a hit color for the upcoming months. This shade of brown is displayed in pieces from Prada, Gucci, and other similar brands. If you choose to style some of these colors, your wardrobe will be one step closer to matching the runway autumn vibe.
In the two color scheme palettes below, the one to the left is a summer scheme, and the one to the right is an autumn scheme. Lean towards searching for the fall palette when shopping for new fall clothes to embrace the warm and cozy feelings of autumn.
Let Layering Be Apart Of Your Style:
Layering is something super easy to learn if you add the correct pieces to your wardrobe. This will ensure that your closet is prepared for the harvest season. A few things are needed to correctly layer your outfits. To begin, start with thin under layers that fit close to your body. To introduce the outfit, use a base that is a neutral color. For example, you can wear a plain white, black, cream, grey, or brown layer to start. A plain button up shirt is basic but adds plenty of character to the outfit as well. Next, because of the chilly weather, add a thermal layer such as a sweater or cardigan to add depth and warmth to the outfit. This should be a piece that you can use to mix in a texture or new pattern. Then, include an outer layer like a jacket to protect you from weather, and to add a visual effect. Make sure to vary your styles and consider proportions. You want it to mimic a perfectly matched cake that has all the layers tying in together. Finally, add your shoes and accessories such as purses, jewelry, headwear, watches, sunglasses, and belts.
Pick Patterns To Put Into Your Outfits:
The final step in achieving a stylish wardrobe for autumn is to put away those summer patterns and pick ones that match the new season. New trends for this fall include plaid, gingham, stripes, denim, animal prints, cable knits, polka dots, and faux fur. The key to mixing them without looking too busy is to find common colors that tie the prints together. For example, wearing a light cream colored skirt and a striped brown and white sweater can work together. This is because the colors merge and create a clean look. The contrast is eye-catching and helps achieve a balanced look. Don’t be afraid to use bold patterns as long as they are contrasted with a neutral base!
Accessoires
An outfit is not complete without accessories. This season, minimalist or monochromatic outfits can be taken to the next level by over-accessorizing. Adding to a plain top, with a long necklace is the perfect balance. Chunky jewelry is also super stylish and a perfect touch of personality to a look. Big rings, bracelets, earring and necklaces all add character to a boring look. Mixing metals has also become super popular. Don’t be afraid to incorporate your favorite gold and silver jewelry together in one look!
Transitioning your wardrobe as the seasons change doesn’t have to be a struggle; it’s an opportunity for a style refresh. By strategically introducing new fall colors, mastering the art of layering, and confidently mixing and matching autumn patterns and prints, you can ensure every morning starts with an outfit that is both warm and perfectly on-trend. Wearing the right clothing for fall will keep you comfortable, fashionable, and ready to face the cooler weather with confidence.
