As the seasons change, nature reveals herself and tends to play favorites. Certain color schemes, moody palettes and rich hues are inclined to be in favor. From crimson to gold and muddy orange tones, it’s a sensory overload of vibrant colors that put Mother Nature in her best light–as the artist.

She’s going by burnt olive these days. Green has reinvented herself but she can’t shake that she’s always positioned as a versatile hue and a great option for people who wear mostly black and navy or tend to avoid color altogether. Green can run under the radar and have that subtle, down-to-earth appeal. A durable pigment, ranging from olive to avocado, this muted green is a fall favorite that seems to bridge the gap between a neutral and a noticeable hue. It’s earthy and has a moody brown undertone with a weathered perspective, often finding its way into utilitarian designs. We see it on the women’s side with a TWP set. The wide-leg trousers and polished, hidden-placket vest are a powerful combo that demand your attention when worn as a set but equally entice when worn as separates. For the men, it’s found in a classic trucker jacket in smooth suede from Officine Générale. It’s a nice layer for when you need to awaken your outfit just a bit.

Red Mahogany is the new fresh color that everyone is feeling. It’s portrayed as a mix of deep and rich cherry red with notes of chocolate brown. It’s sultry, decadent and has you feeling like you’re sipping an indulgent merlot in a room filled with dark mahogany wood. Think about your traditional scarlet or crimson hues with muddy brown pulling in more depth. We sense it in 04651/ A Trip in a Bag’s pure wool vest that has a ripe berry tone and a warm and comfortable practicality. For the women, a maroon L’agence vegan leather croc-embossed pencil skirt instantly makes you the most interesting and sexiest woman in the room.

This fiery orange seems to be set ablaze and you’ll see it in small doses and color pops throughout many fall pieces. It’s the wildest sunset and a rarely used exotic spice in your eccentric grandmother’s kitchen. If you stare too long at the center of a bonfire, this is the color that dances. A traditional autumnal hue, this pumpkin-inspired color can be found in outerwear and flannels on the men’s side. It’s adventurous, rustic and speaks the language of the outdoors. The best example is the Ralph Lauren Polo pullover that has a deep orange body topped with a burnt olive onion quilted shoulder detail. This piece is the fall mashup of two hot seasonal colors that show you know what’s up. Some find it to be a more masculine color but when paired with chocolate brown it really serves up some depth. For the women, Arma has a leather trench coat with strong, warm orange undertones in a crocodile pattern for a hint of animal attraction–but keeping it tonal makes it chic.

The real deep dive of the buy, chocolate brown is everywhere–the most intense saturation on both the men’s and women’s sides. This shade persuades you to fall in love with it through chocolatey russet tones to darker sepia. Extremely prevalent on the women’s side, brown dominates in this Ralph Lauren Collection ribbed skirt that has a waxed, foiled treatment that creates a sophisticated, lacquer-like sheen throughout. There’s a matching top for those that love a full look (who doesn’t?). For the men, a pair of rugged hiker-style boots are a power move. Adventurous and offering sturdy traction, this option from Di Bianco has a refined quilted, padded collar for a touch more sophistication.

Finally, with so many color themes to navigate, we’ve also picked a few pieces that lend themselves to attending a fall color tour. Outdoorsy, intense and thought-provoking, some of the pieces in this section are a nod to nature scenes and are options that mimic the color of the changing foliage. Others are plush and cozy garments that are made for traveling to all the scenic spots and taking amazing photos. Try on this Etro shirt jacket for men in a handsome plaid in a rusty brown tone with autumnal colors. It’s just the thing for when you take a wine tasting detour and need to add or subtract a layer due to the weather. On the ladies side, this Toteme fringed jacket comes in a pine and black tone and is a slick way to elevate your outside time but works in the city too.
