The Fall Color Edit

Every year, fall fashion hits differently. Maybe it’s the crisp air, maybe it’s the pumpkin spice talking, but the colors just feel richer, warmer, and cozier. For me, fall is hands-down my favorite season to dress for — the textures, the layering, and especially the colors.

This year, three shades are stealing the spotlight: dark red, forest green, and chocolate brown. They’re timeless, wearable, and surprisingly easy to mix into your wardrobe, whether you’re refreshing your everyday basics or dressing up for a holiday dinner.

So let’s break them down — here’s how to wear fall’s best hues.

Dark Red: Bold but Classic

Think maroon or deep burgundy — the kind of shade that makes a statement without screaming for attention. Dark red has this way of feeling bold and classic at the same time, which makes it one of my favorite colors to wear in the cooler months.

How to style dark red:

• A dark red knit paired with denim makes the perfect everyday look.
• For something more elevated, try a maroon dress with a leather jacket thrown on top.
• Even a simple dark red scarf or bag can instantly warm up a neutral outfit.

This shade is festive enough to nod to the holidays, but still cool-girl chic for everyday wear.

Forest Green: Earthy & Elevated

Forest green is one of those shades that looks amazing on everyone. It feels earthy yet elevated, and it transitions seamlessly from casual daytime errands to a dressed-up night out. This is the color I reach for when I want my outfit to feel grounded but still eye-catching.

How to style forest green:

• Try a forest green sweater with chocolate trousers for a cozy-chic look.
• Wear a forest green dress with gold jewelry for holiday parties.
• Mix forest green with dark red for a bold, seasonal pairing that feels luxe.

Here’s the best part: forest green pairs beautifully with chocolate brown (more on that below), so don’t be afraid to layer them.

Chocolate Brown: The Sophisticated Staple

Brown has been making a comeback the past few seasons, and chocolate is the richest, most flattering version. It’s cozy, grounding, and feels a little more polished than your typical black pieces.

How to style chocolate brown:

• Swap your go-to black coat for a brown suede jacket or brown poncho.
• Pair brown trousers with a cream or dark red sweater.
• Accessorize with a chocolate brown bag or boots — they’ll go with everything.

Honestly, if you invest in one fall color this season, let it be chocolate brown. It’s versatile enough to wear now, and it’ll carry straight into winter.

Mixing & Matching the Palette

The best part about dark red, forest green, and chocolate brown? They work beautifully together.

• A brown jacket layered over a forest green knit.
• Dark green trousers with a cream top and chocolate boots.
• Dark red accessories (like a bag or shoes) paired with a brown outfit.

These shades don’t compete — they balance each other out, creating outfits that look thought-out and seasonal without being fussy.

Final Thoughts

Fall colors should feel like a reflection of the season itself: warm, cozy, and full of depth. Dark red, forest green, and chocolate brown are more than just “trendy” — they’re timeless tones you’ll keep reaching for year after year.

So the next time you’re refreshing your wardrobe, skip the black-on-black (at least once!) and lean into these shades. I promise, you’ll not only look on-trend but also feel the cozy fall vibes every time you get dressed.
