What Colors to Wear in Autumn?

Autumn is a season of change: plants don vibrant colors and temperatures start to drop. For many, it’s a chance for a fresh start: returning to school, starting a new job, moving… All these transitions can inspire a desire to reinvent one’s style and refresh your wardrobe a bit.

Thus, autumn outfits evoke the ambiance and colors of the season. They are characterized by warm hues (burgundy, brown, etc.) contrasted with natural colors (beige, off-white, etc.). As winter approaches, white, gray, or blue—cool tones—can also make their way back into your wardrobe.

5 Tips for Staying Stylish and Comfortable This Fall

If you’re wondering what to wear in the fall, the following lines are for you! I’ll share some basics for putting together an outfit that suits this season!

Choose Natural Materials

After summer, the body isn’t used to cold temperatures anymore. Therefore, when they return, it’s essential to dress warmly in cozy clothes. Comforting and snug, fall outfits prioritize comfort and softness.

To achieve this effect, I recommend choosing natural materials such as cotton or wool. Brown natural leather is great for protecting you from the elements and pairs perfectly with the autumn color palette.

Layering

One tip to stay warm is to properly insulate your skin from drafts: to achieve this, I suggest you don’t hesitate to layer your clothing.

For example, you can wear knee-high socks over your tights with a pair of boots. Cardigans and sweaters will be great allies to keep you warm underneath your jacket.

Dare to Use Bold Colors

To combat the slight gloom that comes with the end of sunny days, don’t hesitate to brighten up your outfit with a lively color that will lift your spirits. Consider wearing warm colors like bright red or mustard yellow, which pair beautifully with brown and natural tones. However, you can also be bold with contrasts by adding teal or even pink!

Wear Oversized Clothing

This type of cut is perfect for staying warm while looking stylish in the fall. In fact, oversized sweaters and coats allow you to layer multiple pieces underneath while maintaining their shape, as they are specifically designed for this purpose.

Brighten Up Your Outfits with Patterns or Prints

Many people mistakenly believe that prints are only for summer outfits, but that’s not true! In fact, autumn is the perfect season to proudly wear patterned clothing. If you have a more classic style, you might choose timeless prints like plaid or polka dots.

But you can also dare to incorporate botanical or animal patterns, whether colorful or not, to make your outfit your own and create a style that truly reflects you!

Leopard print, for example, captures the autumn hues while evoking the fur of this majestic animal, creating a sense of warmth. It’s a perfect match for the fall style!

Floral patterns are perfect for adding a bohemian touch to your outfit and making it unique. Don’t forget about tartan prints, which pair beautifully with autumn styles.

With a boho long dress or skirt, you can wear natural leather boots along with a long kimono jacket, allowing you to create an ethnic look that is both unique and stylish.

To structure your bohemian outfits, don’t hesitate to wear them with a wide belt, which will highlight your waist and balance your silhouette.

Bohemian Long Dress

Look Radiant with Light Colors and a Chic Style

Do you prefer light shades over the warm colors of nature in the fall? During this season, you can opt for an elegant outfit by combining different light tones, such as white and beige. However, to balance your outfit, I recommend creating subtle contrasts with dark, gray, black, or camel accents. This type of palette is perfect for women with light hair or those with a slightly tanned complexion: it’s an ideal way to showcase the end of your summer tan!

Jeans: A Reliable Choice for Those Who Love Casual Fashion

To start the new school year with confidence, there’s nothing better than turning to some timeless essentials. The classic pant, particularly jeans, pairs well with most colors, keeps you warm, and goes perfectly with cotton or wool.

In recent years, the trend has been towards boyfriend or mom jeans, which are a bit loose and flattering for most slender body types.

If you love the boho style, you can also go for a flare jean, or bell-bottoms, which will add a hippie touch to your outfit!

The Fur Coat: A Stylish Jacket to Keep You Warm!

For a look that’s both romantic and cozy this fall, you can wear a synthetic fur jacket or a thick wool coat. This type of jacket pairs perfectly with pastel and bright shades. It also goes well with jeans to complete a casual outfit.

If you are petite, it’s best to choose a shorter jacket that ends above your hips to accentuate your silhouette. If you’re on the curvier side, mid-length jackets that flare out slightly can be perfect for creating a more flattering shape.

What Accessories to Wear This Fall Season?

Accessories are more than just a name: jewelry, shoes, bags, and hats are what define your style. They allow you to customize classic outfits every day, express your tastes, and create unique looks!

Tights to Stay Warm

With the return of cooler days, it’s time to bring out your prettiest pairs of tights! They can be colored, patterned, or even sheer. Tights enhance the look of your legs, especially when you wear a lovely short skirt.

Here are some color combinations that work well:

• Gray and black,
• Maroon and navy blue,
• Mustard yellow and navy blue,
• Purple and mustard yellow,
• Gray and yellow…

👉 If you choose colorful tights to brighten up your fall outfit, don’t hesitate to add a pop of that color elsewhere in your look: scarf, bag, hairstyle, etc.

Stylish and Feminine Shoes

Autumn marks the return of boots and booties, which you can wear flat or heeled according to your preferences. Be sure to coordinate them with other leather accessories you wear (like your bag or belt) to create a cohesive look!

If you’re wearing a long skirt or dress, I recommend going for ankle boots or flats like derbies. If you choose a style that’s above the knee, knee-high boots or even thigh-highs are perfect for adding a sexy touch to your outfit!

A beret, a beanie, or a hat to keep warm

Wearing a hat not only helps prevent colds but is also a simple and effective way to create a unique look. Early in the fall, you can wear a lovely brown felt hat to enhance your outfit. As the days get cooler, it’s the perfect time to pull out a wool beanie that you can coordinate with a scarf and a pair of gloves.

For an outfit that’s a little different, consider capes and shawls, which are perfect for keeping those who are always cold warm!

A bag and carefully selected jewelry

It’s often easier to wear jewelry in the summer since it highlights your arms and neckline. However, I highly recommend that you continue wearing jewelry in the fall and winter. Bracelets and necklaces may be less visible, but don’t hesitate to swap them for earrings like a flat piercing, brooches, or even handbag charms. For versatile jewelry that’s stylish year-round, we recommend the Solstice ear piercing brand.

The hair accessories you choose (such as hair clips and scrunchies) are also perfect for adding stylish and colorful details to your look. You can also bring a touch of uniqueness to an outfit with a patterned or embroidered handbag.

My final tip for successfully finding an autumn style that suits you is to try wearing at least one or two accessories each day that you love, while making sure they match your outfit nicely!

I hope this article has given you some ideas for dressing this fall: in any case, trust yourself and don’t be afraid to try different outfits! That’s how you’ll discover what makes you unique.
