Autumn 2025: The Colours We’re Falling For

As leaves turn and the air grows crisp, our wardrobes undergo a seasonal shift as well. 

This autumn, the colour palette is both nostalgic and forward-looking, blending earthy classics with unexpected bursts of vibrancy.

Cover Outfit: & Other Stories

Earthy Elegance

Rich, grounding hues like burnt sienna, chestnut, and deep olive are dominating runways. These tones echo the natural world, offering a sense of calm and stability.

Tailored coats, leather boots, and chunky knits in these shades create a timeless foundation for your autumn wardrobe.

Textures Amplify Tones

Autumn’s tactile fabrics — wool, corduroy, velvet, and cashmere — add depth to seasonal shades. A colour like burnt orange feels warmer in velvet than in cotton; a dusty rose feels romantic in mohair. When choosing your palette, think not only about hue but also texture.

HOW TO WEAR THIS PALETTE

Head-to-toe jewel tones can feel modern and sleek.

Modern Neutrals
 

Think stone grey, mushroom beige, and soft taupe—neutral yet sophisticated. These pared-back shades allow for effortless layering and provide the perfect backdrop for bolder accents. A slouchy grey turtleneck or camel wide-leg trousers can become your season-long essentials.

Jewel-Tone Revival

Autumn’s luxe side emerges in emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple. These jewel tones inject vibrancy into cooler days without feeling overly bright. A velvet blazer in deep teal or a silk neck scarf in royal purple can elevate even the simplest outfit.
 
Pops of Unexpected Colour
 

Designers are shaking things up with unexpected pops of colour like marigold yellow, electric cobalt, and cranberry red. These shades work beautifully as statement accessories—a crossbody bag, a pair of heels—or even a full monochrome look for the bold.

The Mood of the Season
 
This season’s colours are about balance: grounding earthiness meets vibrant optimism. They mirror our desire for both comfort and self-expression—perfect for transitional dressing. Whether you’re leaning toward muted sophistication or bold individuality, autumn 2025 offers a palette for every mood.
