I’m not sure if this is a universal feeling, but for me, autumn will always be epitomized by the colourful shades of fallen leaves. From earthy natural tones of orange, brown and yellow, there’s something about seeing those colours that immediately makes me think of the season.
The same applies to clothes. From a tailored beige coat to navy jeans or a cream button-down shirt, there are certain items of clothing and certain sartorial colour palettes that just exemplify autumn. And Patone, the authority on all things colour, tends to agree.
As per their list of important colours for Autumn/Winter 2020, the brand has listed shades of off-white, caramel beige, deep blue and slate gray amongst their top classic colours. Add into that the ever-present shade of burnt orange that seems to be ubiquitous come autumn and you have a palette of seasonal shades to wear year after year.
One of the most appealing elements about this collection of colours is the fact that each can act as a neutral, meaning that while you may want to keep your outfit fairly subdued, you can also pair the shades alongside brighter more vibrant colours without a problem.
