Time for Fall
From falling brown leaves to falling temperatures and the coming holidays, the arrival of autumn is a period we can all look forward to in one way or another. However, with summer ending and autumn arriving, we want to make sure our wardrobe is comfortable and stylish. With new collections coming out, there are must-have pieces of clothing to buy before the end of September. Whether you prefer the timeless sober-coloured Ted Baker jackets or the bright-coloured sweatshirts, here are 5 tips on how to mix the colours of your wardrobes this autumn.
Ways to Mix and Match Your Wardrobe
1. Mix your colours
A weather change equals a wardrobe change, where summer dresses and skirts disappear once again to make way for boots, sweaters, and stylish trousers. If you are a colour novice, make sure to include subtle hues in your wardrobe. You don’t have to wear bright pink to show off a perfect outfit colour range. While some people love bright tints, others prefer neutral tones when choosing their outfits. However, there are a number of colours like black, white, beige, and more, which blend together perfectly. Yet, if you’re feeling like a bit of a bright and neutral mix, you could always put together some black, brown, or beige trousers with a pastel-printed top.
2. Be bold
With the pandemic, we’ve been accustomed to a certain pyjama-based fashion style in the comfort of our homes. The arrival of autumn is an exciting opportunity to experiment with colours. Don’t be afraid to start wearing bolder colours, like cherry red, vibrant green or azure blue. Make sure to choose colours that bring you happiness, and don’t be afraid to let your eye choose fun colour mixes in your clothing. Whether you want to be bold through your clothes or your accessories, this season can be your opportunity to change it up. From biker boots to a bright-coloured puffer jacket, there are many ways to mix colours and be bold, all whilst staying warm.
3. Dress up
As we head into the October month, our social calendar is bound to fill up. Despite the cold and windy weather, make sure to prioritise dressing up every now and then. Whether you are more likely to wear dresses or jumpsuits at these events, make sure to browse through colourful outfits. For example, paisley prints can be colourful and still carry that autumnal feel. Include some colourful accessories, belts, or shoes if your outfit feels too neutral. Dressing up can also mean adding some glitter or bold accessories to your wardrobe. Glitter is an easy, colourful addition to what can otherwise be a sober outfit; for example, bronze and beige sequin separates can give your outfit that extra spark.
4. Cheerful colours
With the sky becoming increasingly grey and the plummeting temperatures, your summer cheer may disappear slightly. There is a solution to this, don’t eliminate those cheerful seasonal colours from your wardrobe. Bright green is a perfect example of this; its vintage feel makes it irreplaceable and can come in premium-feel materials and soft shades. Another good example is burnt orange, the colour reminds us of pumpkins which are associated with the autumnal season. This leaf-inspired fashion trend can go with anything. Get a comfortable sweater, trousers, or boots in that colour, and you will be sure not to regret it. Other colours like hot pink are trending at the moment, so make sure to incorporate this fuchsia palette more in your wardrobe.
5. Bring out colours of nature
Don’t cross out the natural colours from your wardrobe; they often add subtle hues to your outfit and are timeless. Take cobalt blue, for example, this popping, cheerful colour is perfectly suited with black trousers and white sneakers or with beige velvet shorts. Don’t be afraid to take inspiration from your favourite fashion periods, whether it’s the 1990s minimalism or a modern biker chic style. If you are determined to make the colours of your wardrobe pop this season, don’t cross out the dopamine dressing trend. Dopamine dressing is a cheerful-boosting fashion trend that started in 2020 with the beginning of the pandemic. It is inevitably going to rise again with the incoming cold months ahead of us.
