The It Autumn Clothing Colours of the Season
Sponsor Content Created With Isabel Marant
Autumn is typically when we retire our colourful summer tops and dresses and trade them out for more muted shades like tawny brown, pumpkin and khaki. This season, though, it’s all about bold hues. Red was the standout colour on the runways, and we’ve already been seeing a lot of it paired with pieces of the season like cool vinyl skirts, shiny ankle boots and bustier-style tops. But with the arrival of fashion month, we’ve also been noticing other colours pop on the street style scene.
Vibrant yellow is an unexpected shade for fall, but take a styling tip from fashion girl Camille Charrière and pair an oversized marigold sweater with a miniskirt for a cool transitional look. Or try fuchsia pink, another huge colour this season. Our suggestion for a fashion-forward way to wear it? In a head-to-toe pantsuit paired with sneakers.
