5 Fall Color Trends To Keep In Mind When Shopping Your Next Dress
The new season has finally arrived, and as expected, the fall color trends are clear as day. From the runway to the streets, this year’s top 5 shades are all about striking the perfect balance between understated elegance and bold statements. Although I’m not picky when it comes to seasonal colors, these won my heart from the start. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe for the season or planning your next date night look, put these on your list.
1. Office Grey
Office grey is having a moment, and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited. Yes, we’ve all seen grey just about everywhere, but the shade still remains the definition of chic minimalism. It’s a neutral that feels fresh and looks stunning on every skin tone. And if you want to take it a step further, pieces like the Shushu/Tong woven mini deliver a bit of edge. It’s the perfect representation of this year’s playful, unconventional take on fall color trends.
An Iconic Duo: Pink & Blue
2. Sky Blue
Don’t be surprised to see sky blue under this fall’s color trends. Transitioning from a summer favorite to a fall essential, this shade isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I love the way this color brings a soft, calming vibe to the darker, moody tones that typically dominate this time of year. For something truly eye-catching, you can’t go wrong with a dress like this midi from Caroline Herrera. Even though sky blue stands out on its own, but don’t be afraid to color block with the Off-White Jug sandals. Ultimately, this shade is extremely versatile.
3. Ballerina Pink
It’s impossible to talk about fall color trends without mentioning the comeback of ballerina pink. With magentas took over the last few years, it’s time to embrace a more feminine, soft vibe. What I love about ballerina pink is how it adds a whimsical touch to any look, while still feeling elevated enough for a special occasion. For instance, a dress like Aje’s Nova midi is the perfect way to embrace this trend and bring a bit of sweetness to your fall wardrobe. Overall, it’s playful yet polished, making it one of the few fall color trends you’ll want to wear over and over.

4. Every Shade of Brown
Earthy tones have taken over fall color trends, and brown is at the top if you ask me. Whether it’s rich chocolate, soft mocha, or warm caramel, there’s a shade for everyone. I’m seeing designers like Fendi and Chloé lean heavily into these tones, creating looks that feel grounded yet incredibly luxurious. Brown is versatile and flattering on all skin tones, especially styles like the Sir. Alba gown. I almost might like it more than black. Pair brown tones with bags like this Valentino Loco bag for a unique pop of color—green is trending too.
5. Red Wine
Bold, deep, and undeniably sultry, red wine is officially my favorite of al fall color trends. It’s a power shade that gives off confidence, whether you’re at a dinner party or even the office. I’ve seen this dramatic hue pop up in numerous collections, and it’s clear that red wine is here to stay. The intensity of this red makes it a statement option for evening wear, like with the Astr the Label Meghan velvet dress. No piece can come close to this one. Red wine is the perfect way to turn heads and make an unforgettable entrance this fall.
