A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON AUTUMN COLOUR

Discover the Beauty and Depth of the Autumn Palette

As the leaves turn and the air takes on that familiar crispness, Autumn reminds us that change can be beautiful. This is a season filled with warmth, richness, and texture — a time when colour feels more alive than ever. From the glow of golden leaves to the comfort of soft knits and spiced chai, Autumn offers endless inspiration for how we can bring colour into our wardrobes and lives.

BEYOND “WARM AND EARTHY”

When people think of Autumn colours, they often picture rusts, olives and mustards — but there’s so much more to discover. Autumn is a season of layers — both in texture and in tone. Think of mossy greens paired with deep teal, or the way copper, chestnut and navy blend together so naturally in nature.

These combinations don’t just look beautiful; they feel right. They echo the world around us — the changing leaves, the soft light, the richness of natural materials. Dressing in Autumn colours isn’t about following rules; it’s about capturing that sense of warmth, confidence, and quiet sophistication.

THE FEEL OF AUTUMN STYLE

Autumn colours come alive when you introduce texture. Fabrics like suede, tweed, leather and wool mirror the depth and substance of the season. Whether you’re layering a soft scarf over a tailored jacket or pairing a chunky knit with a smooth satin skirt, Autumn style is all about touchable, tactile elegance.

And while Spring and Summer colours shine in brightness and airiness, Autumn shines in contrast. Pairing deep navy with ochre, or forest green with cinnamon, feels balanced and natural — just as it does in the hedgerows and woodlands we see this time of year.

COLOUR THAT TELLS YOUR STORY

Autumn is often described as the “storytelling season” — full of comfort, confidence, and quiet strength. People who suit Autumn tones often share those same qualities: grounded yet bold, assured yet approachable. Choosing colours that reflect this can help you express who you truly are — effortlessly and authentically.

So whether your version of Autumn is glowing bronze and amber, or gentle sage and dusty rose, embracing your seasonal palette is about more than colour — it’s about connection, warmth, and self-expression.
