The Standout Colour Trends for Autumn 2024

autumn colour trends 2024, autumn colour palette, best autumn colours, autumnal colours

For when the sun sets earlier and the breeze turns cold - Autumn is on its way. Whether ready to abandon your summer wardrobe or not, the weather is about to turn and the trends are going to shift toward the cosier, warmer end of the spectrum.

We are here to provide a forecast into the emerging colour trends of Autumn 2024. Gone are the soft, pastel, butter yellows and sage greens, getting replaced with richer tones and deeper, easy to style shades. Whether looking for bridesmaid dress colour inspiration, Autumn work wear, or elevated outer layers, we have been researching emerging Autumn fashion trends to keep your eye on. Read on to get inspired for your Autumn 2024 wardrobe.

To explore our full range of Autumn outfits, click here.

Autumn 2024 Colour Palette: Orange Tones

The first colour that comes to mind when thinking of Autumn is always orange. From the leaves turning from green to gold, the vibrant hue of pumpkin patches, and the stunning sunsets that come with early evenings, orange means Autumn is well and truly here.

Terracotta, burnt orange, rust, and bronze are the tones that we are seeing emerge in early trend forecasts, so opt for more subdued, muted tones that are easy to style with anything from denim skirts to black tailored trousers to white linen bottoms (merging Summer and Autumn trends makes for ideal transitional looks).

Orange wedding guest dresses are highly sought after, as are knits and outer layers, so prepare to see orange across every occasion this upcoming Autumn season.

Trending Autumn Colours: Deep Reds

A returning trend from last year: make a statement in a burst of berry. Deep reds were a staple last year, and we have already seen searches for “cherry red leather jackets” skyrocket by over 140%. As well as sleek leather and faux leather pieces in enchanting burgundy and berry tones, be encouraged to experiment with texture with faux furs and knits.

You can also easily introduce deep reds to your Autumn wardrobe by grabbing a staple item in the trending tone, such as a pair of tailored trousers that go seamlessly from the office to post-work plans. Style effortlessly with a white or black shirt and a blazer for an elevated day to night outfit to keep reaching for all season long.

Autumn Colour Trends 2024: Green Tones

Green is back in a major way. Sage and mint tones ruled Spring and Summer, and a range of green tones are rising in searches on the run up to Autumn.

On the other end of the Autumn outfit spectrum, mocha bridesmaid dresses have seen a huge surge in search numbers. An effortlessly chic bridesmaid colour choice, the neutral tones complement any skin tone and are ultra easy to style with any hair colour, shoe, and makeup choice.

A step above black, yet just as classic and easy to style, brown is an ideal Autumn colour whether worn as a wardrobe staple or occasion wear show stopper.
