Fall is arguably the greatest season for fashion. From the multiple layers to the varying elements, an entire outfit can be a work of art. The varying shades are some of the most prominent aspects that make it such a special few months. If you’re excited about autumn, let’s explore some of the stylish ways you can wear fall colors this season.

1. Jackets and Coats

Jackets and coats are the statement pieces of all fall clothes. Puffer jackets, pea coats, and bomber jackets are only a few of the options you can wear, depending on the temperatures and your style preferences. Tan, blue denim, brown, and black tend to be the most popular jacket and coat colors but don’t hesitate to explore other fall hues you typically don’t wear. For example, consider olive green or burgundy. You can also explore wearing multi-colored ones, such as jackets with a plaid print.

2. Hats, Scarves, and Gloves

Many stick to the fall color scheme with gloves, scarves, and hats, such as wearing them in cream or black. However, if you’re not one to wear colorful clothes during autumn, consider the accessories your chance to add a little brightness. For instance, burnt orange and red – both popular autumn hues – also provide vibrancy and will especially be noticed against a dark backdrop, such as a black coat. Consider incorporating colors typically popular in other seasons, such as wearing bright yellow hats, scarves, or gloves.

3. Sweaters

There’s something particularly comforting about wearing a cozy sweater during the fall months. Opt for cute sweaters with unique details, patterns, or textures, such as subtle bows, an argyle print, cable knit, or ruffles. They often pair perfectly with everything from your favorite pair of basic jeans to black dress pants. 

Fall sweaters come in a multitude of gorgeous colors, so consider expanding beyond the usual cream, brown, or light gray hues. For instance, consider teal, red, orange, or light blue to add an array of various shades to your cold-weather wardrobe. Don’t be afraid to go bright and bold, such as wearing a teal sweater with orange accents, a green and white striped sweater, or a brown sweater with yellow stripes. As beautiful as solid colors can be, there’s a little bit of extra magic when prints, patterns, and hues that won’t initially seem to work merge into something unique and remarkable. 

4. Pants

Jeans, cropped cigarette pants, tapered trousers, wide-leg pants, and corduroy pants are some of the many options you can have in your wardrobe for fall. Black pants are a must for practically any setting ranging from casual to formal. Don’t forget other options, though, such as dark brown and burgundy. Having a variety of pants styles in a range of colors lets you be prepared for any situation and environment. 

5. Dresses

You don’t have to wait until spring or summer to wear dresses, as fall offers a beautiful array of styles and shades. While many women opt for elbow-length or long-sleeve dresses to stay warm, short dresses can also be styled for cooler temperatures. Consider cable-knit sweater dresses or cozy turtlenecks, and don’t hesitate to layer short-sleeve and sleeveless dresses with warm accessories and footwear to create a chic, seasonal look.

For example, you can wear a buttoned-up cardigan over a short-sleeve dress, put on a belt, and slip on some boots. Another option is to wear a long, open, cable knit sweater that’s the same length as the short dress you’re modeling. You can also sport a sweater over the top of a dress while its skirt is on display, or put a long-sleeve lace shirt underneath a sleeveless dress. Many possibilities are available when you look beyond the original structure and intended wear of the cute clothes and perceive them as individual aspects that can merge into an outstanding look.

When you’re thinking of fall colors for women’s dresses, there are an assortment of shades to consider, ranging from goldenrod and burgundy to emerald green and black. Feel free to play with the colors by mixing and matching hues, such as pairing heather gray with burgundy and burnt orange and cream.

6. Footwear

Fall footwear comes with so many gorgeous styles. For instance, you can wear ankle boots, knee-high boots, or thigh-high boots in just about any fun fall color. Options like slingbacks, pumps, loafers, Mary Janes, sneakers, and ballet flats also make stylish choices and can be found in a variety of shades. Despite the wide range of available colors and styles, having classic shoe staples like black boots, black pumps, and white sneakers is always a great idea, as they will pair effortlessly with almost any outfit in your fall wardrobe.
