Deep AutumnLookbook

More than black and two colors

Black stays if you love it. In Deep Autumn, your softer dark is Dark brown.

60 leads, 30 supports, 10 stays small.

Three outfits side by side on a plain warm off-white wall, as if worn by no one, each led by one color of the trio: Petrol blue on the left, Warm coral in the middle and Dark brown on the right.

What to wear instead of black, for every season

Why, and how solid

Wear warm cream near your face and dark brown instead of black. Pick a dark rinse indigo for denim.

Why: Dark brown and warm cream share your deep, warm coloring. Pale pastels and cool grays tend to read faint beside it.

How to read the cards

The color on each card is the palette color a piece sits closest to, not the exact color of the item. A picture shows that color on a plain, unbranded piece and not the product. Save picks with Add to my list, then open them all in one Amazon cart.
