With the fall season upon us, I’m officially ready to make some welcome wardrobe updates. Goodbye, white linen dresses, and hello, cashmere sweaters. One of the easiest ways to reinvigorate my wardrobe for a new season is adding a fresh touch of color to my ensembles. Since this is my favorite subject (I am a bona fide nerd when it comes to color theory), I’m always excitedly looking out for what hues dominate the runway shows and keep a close eye on Pantone’s trend forecasts.

This season’s color trends channel a sumptuous elegance—from luxe olive green to rich burgundy and gentle eggshell. Whether you add a touch of color with an accessory or go for a full head-to-toe look, the colors we’re seeing are wearable, refined, and chic. Keep scrolling for the six colors I’ll be wearing to look altogether on-trend this fall.

Olive Green

The dominating shades of green immediately caught my attention on the fall/winter 2024 runways—particularly shades in the olive family, from deep Taggiasca to bright Castelvetrano. Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Burberry, to name a few, featured the color in head-to-toe looks as well as plentiful accessories. There’s no question I’ll be adding the fresh color trend to my wardrobe this fall.
