Autumn’s Hottest Colour Trends: A Stylish Deep Dive
Burgundy Bliss
The deep, luxurious shade of burgundy evokes the warmth of the season. Pair it with neutral tones for a timeless, sophisticated look.
Earthy Tones
Embrace nature’s palette with rich, earthy hues like olive, rust, and chocolate. These colours radiate cosiness and comfort.
Khaki Cool
Khaki is the ultimate autumn neutral with its almost gold-like tones, lending any outfit an effortless, laidback vibe.
We’re embracing warm, earthy tones to mirror the changing seasons.
We’ll never promote short-lived trends, but we’re pleased to see burgundy having such a moment. It’s always been a colour favourite of ours as it’s so versatile and grown-up. This is a great colour to incorporate into accessories and outerwear; think boots, baseball caps, and jackets like this Reformation Veda Beck Leather Trench made from regenerated leather.
A pop of rich burgundy goes a long way and pairs nicely with neutrals and more vibrant colour palettes; this beautiful pre-loved Bottega Veneta Burgundy Shoulder Bag from Sign of the Times would easily elevate any day or night outfit. But be quick; gems like these sell out fast.
In addition to burgundy, the world is going wild for khaki, moss, olive, and pretty much any green mirroring the earthy hues we’re all hankering for as the season’s change. There is a green to suit everyone and every style, options include jewel greens to add a bit of sparkle this season (look for recycled satin or bamboo lyocell) and more muted, relaxed tones of olive and grey/green. If you already have something green in your wardrobe, now’s the time to hunt for it.
Chocolate brown is another favourite here at The Slow Fashion Style Guide HQ because it makes any outfit look instantly chic. A neutral, this colour doesn’t go out of style, and its versatility allows you to wear it top-to-toe tonal or pair it with burgundy, pink, blue denim, or any other neutral you love.
