How to Wear the Trending Colors
Knowing the trending fall colors is one thing, but understanding how to incorporate them into your wardrobe is another. Wearing the trending colors will help you match the most up-to-date styles in the fashion industry.
Let’s dive into outfit ideas using the trending colors as reference. To start, we’ll share some top color combinations to try when styling your clothing pieces. Some color combos we suggest include:
- Italian Plum, White Swan, and Buckthorn Brown
- Baritone Blue, Raw Umber, and Winter Sky
- Tomato Cream, Scarlet Smile, and Fern
- Golden Palm, Aventurine, and Lucent White
To further explore these trending fall colors, let’s discuss a few outfit ideas using these hues.
For example, an outfit idea for a fall business event or conference is an Italian Plum fitted dress, a White Swan handbag, and a Buckthorn Brown cardigan with pearl detailing.
Try a Raw Umber knit sweater with a Winter Sky denim jacket and Baritone Blue wide-leg pants for a more casual fall look.
A Tomato Cream cardigan, a Scarlet Smile blouse, and pops of Fern in your accessories can create a cohesive and stylish autumn outfit.
An Aventurine top with a Lucent white pattern or detailing creates contrast against a Golden Palm tailored jacket or blazer and loose denim pants. Add a stylish tote to complete the look.
Accessorizing with Trending Colors
You can’t forget the role accessories play when thinking about color and fashion. Intentionally adding little pops of color to your fall outfits with accessories can be a great way to expand your color palette beyond fall's typical golden, orange, and brown warm tones.
This season, you’ll see more and more accessory options in these trending colors from the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report. Keep your eye out to snag your favorite accessories in these unique colors. Hats, scarves, shawls, bags, jewelry, socks, and belts easily layer onto your fall outfits to create visual interest.
Styling Tips for Different Color Personalities
Every person has a unique style. Your personal style should be considered when transitioning your wardrobe to include trendy fall colors. You may have color preferences that don’t align with the entire color palette from Pantone®.
You can incorporate trending colors into your existing wardrobe, taking into account your style and color preferences.
For those who like bold colors, consider adding Red Orange, Aventurine, Scarlet Smile, and Golden Palm pieces to your collection.
Those who prefer a more neutral palette may enjoy adding colors like Tomato Cream, Fern, Winter Sky, White Swan, and Raw Umber to their fall wardrobe.
Conversely, those with a classic style can incorporate Italian Plum, Moonstruck, Lucent White, Dark Dull Gray, Baritone Blue, and Buckthorn Brown into fall outfits in 2024.
Staying true to your style is extremely important for expressing yourself through fashion and clothing choices. You can stay updated with current trends by choosing just a few staple pieces for your fall wardrobe that fit the trending color scheme.
