True Autumn

True Autumn outfits

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

Rust, golden olive and warm teal give a wardrobe a generous earthy base. Warm browns work as useful anchors and keep the palette grounded.

Three color recipes

Everyday layers

Silver for trousers or a skirt, Off White for a top, and Pinkish Tan 2 in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.

A workday combination

Warm Grey for trousers or a skirt, Light Grey Blue for a top, and Khaki Green in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.

A little more color

Charcoal for trousers or a skirt, Steel Grey for a top, and Drab 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.
