Draped by the vine
Now that the cherry reds have had their big appearance, Lila has come onto the scene and is ready for the spotlight. Although purple is perfect for any season due to its versatility, it has been a prominent shade in fashion and interior design this year due to the popular jewel-tone color palette. In an election year, it is no surprise that purple – a symbol of wealth and majesty — is back for another reign.
Where to shop: Garage set, Banana Republic sweater, Asos
Freshly squeezed grapefruit
Red is a color that was already used last fall. It will be more muted and in a tone that is reminiscent of a ruby red grapefruit this season. An exciting and refreshing shade, Grapefruit Red goes well with orange for maximum effect or as Accent color for a minimalist approach.
Where to shop: Reformation, Abercrombie, Nordstrom, Anthropology
Battle of the Yellows
A color often associated with fall — mustard yellow returns with competition — Pollen Yellow. Stick with the mustard yellow we all know and love, or Embrace your inner Penelope Featherington and begin your pollen era. Choose one side or go for both in a sun-drenched monochrome combination.

2000s feeling in blue-green
Although this is a summer color, a blue-green is predicted for fall and winter 24/25, which is called Tidal Teal. Unlike the blue-green shade from the early 2000s, Tidal Teal is dark, has a warm tone and can be worn as a neutral color. The nostalgic and crisp nature of teal makes it the perfect color to brighten your fall and bring thoughtfulness.
Where to shop: Free People, Revolve, Anthropologie
Code Orange has been spotted in all your favorite home decor and craft stores, while Rori and Lorelai Gilmore stream from your TV 24/7. The days are getting shorter and the need to snuggle up in a fluffy blanket and a steaming hot cup of pumpkin flavored coffee has increased.
