We love olive green and eggplant purple because they are true autumn colors. These more nuanced shades of this fall’s top colors look great in combinations with other brights and neutral hues. But most importantly, they can stand alone. Pair these complexion-flattering shades with your daily staples to update your wardrobe for the fall fashion season. We've picked out some of our favorite pieces by indie fashion designers to get you started.
Green is one of the easiest colors on the eye. Not only is it a soothing shade, hues like olive and sage gently remind us of our natural environment. Long associated with fertility, the color is worn best in the autumn months as a muted earthy tone. Think olive, moss, avocado, or army when choosing your shades. The fall greens in your wardrobe should go well with earthy warm tones like reflections of gold and mustard or khaki and oak brown.
To tell if the shade is right for your skin tone, stand near a window or some form of natural lighting, and grab a mirror. Hold the garment up to your cheek. Does your skin look warm and glowing, or does it look a little pale and sickly? If you get compliments, your shirt’s a keeper. If your friends keep telling you how tired you look every time you wear your new green turtleneck, toss it.
Shades of purple look great on everyone. From gorgeous velvet to luxurious jewel tones, shades of purple stand out in essential accessories and flourish in full outfits. Dusty eggplant purple looks good in knit blouses and soft cotton dresses during the day; deep midnight purple makes a bold statement in autumn evening wear.
Darker gothic purple is mysterious, and rich wine purple is bold. Purple can present an air of either childhood whimsy or sophisticated glamour. Brighter bolder hues are excellent in small details like mauve tights with a grey t-shirt dress or an amethyst purse and shoes with brown slacks and a white blouse. This season, purple tunic dresses are especially popular and an easy choice for simple dressing.
