Draped Off The Vine
Now that cherry reds have had their moment, purple has stepped up to the plate and is ready for the spotlight. Though perfectly associated with any season due to its versatility, purple has been prominent in fashion and interior design this year due to the popular jewel-toned color palettes. In an election year, it’s no surprise that purple — a symbol of wealth and royalty — is back for another reign.
Where to shop: Garage set, banana republic sweater, Asos
Freshly Squeezed Grapefruit
As a carryover color from last fall, red will be muted and in a tone similar to a ruby red grapefruit this season. An exciting and refreshing shade, Grapefruit Red will pair well with orange for a maximal effect or as an accent color for a minimal approach.
Where to shop: Reformation, Abercrombie, Nordstrom, Anthropologie
Battle of the Yellows
A color often associated with fall — Mustard Yellow returns with competition — Pollen Yellow. Stick with the mustard yellow we all know and love, or embrace your inner Penelope Featherington and enter your Pollen era. Pick a side or choose them both in a sunshine-filled monochromatic pairing.

2000s Feel Teal
Though notably a summer color, teal has been forecasted for Autumn and Winter 24/25 and is called Tidal Teal. Unlike the shade of teal from the early 2000s, Tidal Teal is dark, warm-toned and can be worn as a neutral. Teal’s nostalgic and clear nature makes it the perfect color to brighten and bring thoughtfulness to your fall.
Where to shop: Free People, Revolve, Anthropologie
Code orange has been spotted at all your favorite home decor and craft stores, while Rori and Lorelai Gilmore are spilling out your TV at all hours. The days are getting shorter, and the need to cuddle up with a plush blanket and a steaming hot cup of pumpkin-flavored coffee has increased.
