Which Colours to Wear in Autumn?

Autumn is a season of change: the plants don their stunning colours and temperatures start to drop. For many, it’s a chance for a fresh start: going back to school, starting a new job, moving houses… All these changes can inspire a desire to reinvent one’s style and refresh the wardrobe a bit.

Thus, autumn outfits evoke the atmosphere and hues of this season. They are characterised by warm tones (burgundy, brown...) contrasted with natural colours (beige, cream, ...). As winter approaches, white, grey, or blue, which are cooler tones, may also make their way back into your wardrobe.

5 Tips to Look Stylish and Feel Comfortable in Autumn

If you're wondering what to wear in autumn, the following lines are for you! I'll share the essentials for putting together an outfit that suits this season!

Choose Natural Fabrics

After summer, the body is no longer used to cold temperatures. Therefore, when they return, it is essential to dress warmly in cosy clothes. Autumn outfits prioritise comfort and softness.

To achieve this effect, I recommend opting for natural materials such as cotton or wool. Brown natural leather is perfect for protecting you from the elements and pairs beautifully with the autumn colour palette.

Layering Techniques

A tip for keeping warm is to properly shield your skin from drafts: for this, I recommend layering your clothing without hesitation.

For example, you can wear knee-high socks over your tights with a pair of boots. Cardigans and jumpers will be excellent companions to keep you warm under your jacket.

Dare to Use Bright Colours

To combat the slight blues that come with the end of the sunny days, don't hesitate to brighten up your outfit with a vibrant colour that will lift your spirits. You might choose a warm hue, such as bright red or mustard yellow, which pair beautifully with earthy and natural tones. However, you can also embrace bold contrasts with teal or even pink!

Wear Oversized Clothing

This type of cut is perfect for staying warm while looking stylish in autumn. Indeed, oversized jumpers and coats allow you to layer multiple garments underneath while maintaining their shape, as they are specifically designed for this purpose.

Brighten Up Your Outfits with Patterns or Prints

We often mistakenly think that prints are only for summer outfits, but that’s not true! Autumn is actually the perfect season to proudly wear patterned clothing. If your style is more classic, you might prefer timeless prints like checks or polka dots.

But you can also dare to use floral or animal patterns, whether colourful or not, to personalise your outfit and create a style that truly reflects who you are!

The leopard print, for instance, reflects the warm autumn hues and evokes the fur of this majestic animal, creating a sense of warmth. It aligns perfectly with the autumn style!

Floral patterns are perfect for adding a bohemian touch to your outfit, making it unique. Lastly, consider tartan prints, which pair beautifully with the autumn style.

Monochromatic with autumn shades for a bohemian look

Whether it's a dress, a skirt, or even a top, bohemian clothing is known for its comfort and natural appeal. They are loose-fitting and cosy, and by layering clothes, you can create warm outfits.

With a long boho dress or skirt, you can wear natural leather boots along with a long kimono jacket, which will help you create a look that is both unique and stylishly ethnic.

To style your bohemian outfits, don't hesitate to pair them with a wide belt, which will accentuate your waist and balance your silhouette.

Long Bohemian Dress

Stay Radiant with Light Colours and Chic Style

Do you prefer lighter shades to the warm colours that adorn nature in autumn? This season, you can also choose a stylish outfit by combining various light tones like white and beige. However, to balance your attire, I recommend adding subtle contrasts with dark, grey, black or camel accents. This type of palette works wonderfully for women with light hair or those who have a slightly tanned complexion: it's indeed an ideal technique to highlight the end of your summer tan!

Denim, a timeless choice for all those who love casual fashion

To kick off the new season with confidence, there's nothing quite like turning to some timeless basics. The quintessential classic, a pair of jeans pairs beautifully with most colours, keeps you warm, and works perfectly with cotton or wool.

In recent years, the trend has been the boyfriend or mom jeans, which are a bit oversized and suit most lean body shapes.

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

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

For a look that's both romantic and cosy this autumn, you can wear a faux fur jacket or a chunky wool sweater. This type of outerwear is perfect with pastel and bright tones. It also pairs nicely with jeans to complete an everyday outfit.

If you're petite, it's best to choose a jacket that is fairly short, ending above your hips to enhance your silhouette. If you're a bit on the rounder side, mid-length jackets that flare slightly will be perfect for creating a more streamlined look.

Which accessories to wear this autumn season?

They only have the name of accessories: jewellery, shoes, bags, and hats are what will define your style. They allow you to customise classic clothing every day, express your tastes, and create unique outfits!

Tights to Keep Warm

With the return of slightly cooler days, it’s the perfect time to bring out your prettiest pairs of tights! They can be colourful, patterned, or even sheer. Tights can highlight your legs, especially if you're wearing a lovely short skirt.

Here are a few colour combinations that work well:

• Grey and black,
• Burgundy and navy blue,
• Mustard yellow and navy blue,
• Purple and mustard yellow,
• Grey and yellow…

👉 If you choose to wear colourful tights to brighten up your autumn outfit, don't hesitate to incorporate that colour into the rest of your look: scarf, bag, hairstyle, etc.

Chic and feminine shoes

Autumn brings back boots and ankle boots, which you can wear flat or with heels, depending on your preference. Remember to match them with other leather accessories you’re wearing (bag, belt, etc.) to create a cohesive look!

If you’re wearing a long skirt or dress, I recommend opting for ankle boots or flat shoes like derbies. If you choose a style that is above the knee, high boots or even thigh-highs will be perfect for adding a sexy touch to your outfit!

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

Covering your head doesn't just help to prevent colds: it's also a simple and effective way to create a unique look. At the start of autumn, you can wear a lovely brown felt hat to enhance your outfit. As the days get cooler, it's time to bring out a wool beanie that you can match with a scarf and a pair of gloves.

For an outfit that's a bit different, consider capes and shawls, which are perfect for keeping you warm if you're always feeling cold!

A carefully chosen bag and jewellery

It's often easier to wear jewellery in summer: after all, it highlights your arms and neckline. However, I can only recommend that you keep wearing jewellery in autumn and winter. While bracelets and necklaces may be less visible, don't hesitate to swap them out for earrings like a flat piercing, brooches, or even handbag charms. For versatile, chic jewellery that works both in summer and winter, we recommend the Solstice ear piercing brand.

The accessories you put in your hair (hair clips, scrunchies) are also great for adding chic and colourful details to your look. You can also bring some originality to an outfit with a patterned or embroidered handbag.

My final tip for finding an autumn style that suits you is to try to wear at least one or two accessories each day that you like, while ensuring they match your outfit well!
