\"Stack<\/p>\n

Summer\u2019s last breath is slowly fading into autumn\u2019s cool whisper. Leaves are rusting and falling, their job as shade completed for the season. Days are shortening, nights are growing longer.

Stay Down to Earth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fall colors for clothing tend to be earthier in nature. Browns, yellows, oranges, navy\u2014these are just some of the colors that reflect cooler days and nights.<\/p>\n

Pantone.com stresses neutral colors. They say, \u201c(Weave) earthy neutrals with a range of bold color statements and patterns to reflect a landscape of hope, fun, fantasy and all things natural. The colors are evocative of a love for nature and a timeless appreciation for warmth and security, which are conveyed through naturally inspired colors that remind us of things that are real and protective.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smooth Terrain<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the name implies, Terrain yields a complete palette of saturated earth tones. This season, brown makes a major comeback, which is reflected not only with roast but also in hues like prune and warmer tones like cognac and coppertone. Both camel and toffee are key to the Terrain palette, positioned as influential outerwear colors. Marigold yellow and red rust add a spice component.<\/p>\n

Elle magazine, reporting on fashionable colors for fall 2016<\/a>, notes that Pantone (considered by many in the fashion world to be the color experts for clothing), is accentuating blues this fall.<\/p>\n

Wwd.com notes that \u201c\u2026 for the second consecutive season, Pantone has one color forecast for both women and men,\u201d further blurring the line between male and female fashions that has been eroding the last few years.<\/p>\n

But enough<\/em> about what the runways say is hip and trendy this fall. What about the 99% of us who just want to wear comfortable clothing that fits the fall season?<\/p>\n

Keep Warm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aura Friedman, colorist at Sally Hershberger\u2019s Downtown Salon, says this fall is about warmer, richer tones. Glamour.com believes that \u201c(your) obsession with Starbucks’ epic Pumpkin Spice Latte just went to the next level. Nearly every collection featured the muted orange color\u2014and it looked flattering on tons of different skin tones.\u201d Who knew that the popular spice would eventually \u201cspice\u201d up fall 2016 clothing styles<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"Young<\/p>\n

For the average Joe and Jane, colors for fall 2016 styles<\/a> are, according to Pantone, reflective of \u201cstrength, confidence and complexity led by the Blue family and followed by earth tones and exuberant pops of vibrant colors, all of them working well to struggle against the contemporary turbulent life and to bring about a tad more tranquility and optimism around.\u201d<\/p>\n

What does this mean for us, the average consumer? It means dressing comfortably in shades of browns, blues, oranges, greens, and other earthy shades. It means choosing styles and colors that make you feel seasonal and happy. It means choosing shades that reflect calmness and contentment and you<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For many, fall is the start of the \u201ccozy\u201d time of year, when our world becomes smaller and our adventures happen closer to our homes and our fireplaces. The crisp chill combined with shortened daylight hours is a natural progression, one that heralds the arrival of earthier shades in our clothes and spicier ingredients in our drinks. It\u2019s a time to reflect the changing seasons in our food, our drinks, and our clothing<\/a>. Don\u2019t fall for just any colors in your wardrobe this autumn.
