As fall approaches, you may want to update your wardrobe with the latest seasonal colors. Although summer is still upon us, fall-friendly shades can be incorporated into your current summer outfits. To find out which colors will be dominant this fall, we consulted six professional fashion stylists who shared their insights and shopping recommendations.
Melissa Rivers, a celebrity style expert, highlighted wine red for its versatility. Despite being associated with cold weather, it works well with summer neutrals and will remain fashionable throughout autumn and winter. She also emphasizes Mocha Brown, Pantone’s Color of the Year, as an excellent transitional hue suitable for any time of year.
Bright colors aren’t just for summer. Mustard yellow, according to Rivers, offers a perfect seasonal bridge, transitioning from bold summer styles to mimicking the autumn leaves. Meanwhile, Linda Stamko from The Style App, recommends burnt orange as a vibrant yet wearable choice that works beautifully with denim and soft neutrals.
Elena Mensch from the Velvet Image Lab suggests incorporating metallics like bronze brown, while long-lasting shades like olive green, recommended by Stamko, offer versatility across seasons. Jackie Condura also expects shades like damson purple to gain popularity towards the end of summer. Other notable mentions include a variety of blues, as shared by stylist Laura Longmire, and marigold, advocated by Ally Beans for its warm, transitional qualities as summer fades.
Amanda Vargus from Wave and Woven advises embracing shades such as burgundy, which can be worn lightly in summer but transition into deeper, richer ensembles come autumn. Primrose pink is another unexpected yet appealing choice for those seeking fresh ways to update their color palette.
With these stylist-approved colors, you can start integrating fall’s emerging trends into your outfits now and continue enjoying them as the temperature drops.
