Elegant Autumn Fashion Colour Combinations to Try in 2024

Finally in the throws of autumn, my plans for the weekend now involve combing through every item in my wardrobe to reorder everything I own, bringing forth the pieces that really speak to this time of the year, and one of the things I’m most excited about rediscovering is my autumnal colour palette. The transitional period between summer and winter offers an exciting opportunity to experiment with deeper, richer tones while still incorporating subtle hints of warmth and neutrals, and I’m all about trying to achieve this balance right now. And whether you’re drawn to timeless colours or bold, statement-making hues, the key is in what you pair certain colours with.

By thoughtfully layering colours, you can create effortlessly stylish outfits that feel modern and elegant, yet practical for the changing weather. Think sophisticated palettes that transition seamlessly from day to evening, and from work to weekend, without compromising on your aesthetic. Autumn presents the perfect opportunity to experiment with unexpected combinations that feel fresh and refined, whilst still embracing the natural beauty of the season with signature shades such as burgundy and brown.

So, I took it upon myself to track down the most elevated-looking autumn fashion colour combinations to try right now, in the hope I’d be able to re-create many of them with items I already own. Scouring social media, I came across seven such ensembles that I just had to share with you. From the unexpected tone that looks so stylish worn with navy to the hue that will make your black items look even glossier, scroll on to see the autumn colour combinations I’ll be wearing in 2024.

1. Olive + Charcoal

Style Notes: While this year has largely been dominated by Brat green, when autumn rolls around, I always find myself coming back to more hushed variations of the tone; think olive and forest. The former has a sludgy undertone to it, which taps into the wider appreciation for all-things brown this season (more on that in a moment). For me, nothing pairs with this shade quite so well as charcoal grey.
