Focus on red to get you in the mood for Autumn! This color change will take your summer outfits to Fall, even if they don’t include sweaters or cozy knits. The color is cozy itself, as fiery as the autumn leaves. But there’s more to it than that. I dove right in to explore why red is the most brilliant color choice for fall fashion.
Whether in clothing or jewelry, red has a cheerful effect to perk up your wardrobe and your mood. It makes you stand out from the crowd. If you buy new pieces in this shade, it’s going to last because it is a forever classic. And so, age doesn’t matter.
This is an updated post to give you the highest quality content.
Nowadays, it seems that the end-of-summer weather is still too warm even after Labor Day to wear the Fall clothes that our society expects. During this time, I like to explore seasonal colors to get in the mood. And then when we’re in the swing of Autumn with crisp, cool temperatures followed by the cold Winter, our clothing colors automatically change to match the natural world around us. (See my Style Tip on How to Dress With the Changing Seasons HERE.) No matter what the weather, I’m here today to help you find out how to combine the new Fall/Winter fashion colors now and later in bold and creative ways. Age doesn’t matter.
This is my annual update on the Fall/Winter trending colors. There are traditional Autumn wardrobe colors and then there are those that the Pantone Color Institute has noted as trends on the Fashion Week runways. To find out about timeless classics, see my post “How to Use Colors That Will Get You in the Fall Spirit” HERE.
In this post, you will find out about the top ten New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Autumn/Winter 2024-2025 (A/W 2024/2025) trending colors identified by Pantone, as well as the five new core classic neutrals. Then I have a style tip for you. And finally, I will give you ways to combine these hues in your outfits.
You will be able to find variations of the colors from the New York collection in American stores easily as they stock up for Fall and Winter sales.
You know how I say age doesn’t matter because older is bolder? Well, citron green will make you stand out. I encourage you to wear this trending color this year and beyond. The spring/summer 2024 runways introduced this zesty hue per the collections of LaPointe, Alejandra Alonso Rojas, and Elisabetta Franchi. The electric chartreuse works well for special occasions but can easily be toned down and dressed down.
As a lively yellow green, it will be useful in the fall as well. For winter, contrast it with dark and cool colors and thick, textured fabrics.
If citron is just too far out of your comfort zone, use it in accessories as a color pop with a more neutral look. For instance, add a bright handbag. Or, consider adding it as a belt or a statement necklace. Peridot gemstones create a nice blend of green.
If you don’t have anything in citron you might like to use one of its cousins, chartreuse or lime green, instead.
So let’s get comfortable with how to wear this color. First, we can become more familiar with colors that go well with it. From there, it’s pretty easy to start brightening up our outfits in a wide variety of ways.
I love to know what colors act as neutrals. Do you? Because then I can wear those colors with anything, never having to wonder if they go together. And neutrals are classic, so age doesn’t matter.
I just heard about colored neutrals as a special group of colors about a year or two ago. I got interested in learning what they are so that I could get used to using them for their versatility. In this post I collected the colored neutrals and then found what went best with them. But in the end, I still keep in mind that I can combine them with anything I want. Finally, I give a few ways to wear it to inspire you to create some new outfits.
