Soft Autumn

Soft Autumn outfits

Use these three-color recipes as a starting point for clothes you already own. The shapes and materials are up to you.

Gentle olive, warm taupe and rose clay share a softened warmth. Choose colors with a little gray or brown in them, and let neighboring shades blend easily.

Three color recipes

Everyday layers

Light Grey 2 for trousers or a skirt, Light Grey 3 for a top, and Pale Rose in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.

A workday combination

Greenish Grey for trousers or a skirt, Silver 3 for a top, and Greenish Grey 2 in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.

A little more color

Charcoal Grey for trousers or a skirt, Cool Grey 3 for a top, and Dirty Blue in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.

A practical rule

Choose the neutral for the largest garment, an accent for the smaller garment, and one detail. Repeat a color to tie the outfit together.

For this softer palette, try colors of a similar depth together before adding a strong contrast.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
