Back to black? Not quite yet. The anticipated return to fall and winter black will have to wait.
The autumn-winter 2024-2025 season leans toward warmth and comfort, drawing inspiration from cozy shades like hot chocolate, caramel latte, and the ever-popular pumpkin spice latte. The color palette for September includes chocolate brown, deep burgundy, soft gray, camel, and khaki—leaving black to make a possible appearance around All Saints’ Day.
Fall Color Trends of 2024
Neutral tones will dominate the coming months, unsurprisingly. Advocates of the quiet luxury aesthetic, still trending strong, have successfully imposed their style rules. They won’t have to endure what they consider overly loud colors anymore.
According to the latest report from Tagwalk, vibrant shades that reigned last winter, like violet, pink, cobalt blue, and bottle green, have seen a sharp decline of 46% this year.
Likewise, the biker aesthetic and metallic hues have lost their shine. With the return to timeless, unoxidizable basics, we can avoid those mirror-induced doubts. Warm, natural tones are not only timeless but also effortlessly combinable.
Soft and Cozy Shades
Another staple of the season: pastel colors. Before you cringe, remember pastels aren’t just for spring. In fact, Pantone’s Color of the Year 2024, Peach Fuzz—a soft orange—will be gracing trench coats and shirt dresses this fall.
If peach sorbet isn’t your flavor, perhaps a creamy hue, though not traditionally seasonal, will still be soft and comforting. Make no mistake, cream is set to be everywhere in the coming months. From oversized coats and fitted cardigans to knit dresses, this ultra-neutral shade is the reigning queen of the color palette.
Elegant Alternatives to Black
As the leaves fall, the colors of the season shift, with the majestic tree taking the spotlight. Olive green is the star this year, making a strong appearance in the fall-winter 2024-2025 collections. According to the Tagwalk report, olive-toned outfits have increased by over 35% compared to last year.
But black isn’t the only sophisticated option. Soft gray, far from being dull, has become one of the most coveted shades of the season, alongside a decadent chocolate brown that remains a timeless favorite. Bordeaux, an enduring symbol of elegance, has surged in popularity, with 19% more mentions in collections compared to last winter.
Finally, deep, fiery red is making a statement this season, worn boldly from head to toe as a vibrant contrast to the colder months ahead.
