True AutumnLookbook

More than black and two colors

Black stays if you love it. In True 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: Pumpkin on the left, Wine in the middle and Deep teal navy on the right.

What to wear instead of black, for every season

Why, and how solid

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

Why: Cream and dark brown share your warmth. Black and icy gray denim tend to read cooler than the rest of the outfit.

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.
