For Your Autumn Wardrobe, Try The Leaf Palette
As the last hints of summer disappear, swept away by the cooling Chicago winds, we start to bring out our jackets and scarves from the back of our wardrobes. Day by day as we attend our duties, walking around we notice the leaves slowly undergo their seasonal metamorphosis, leaving behind the vivid greens of warmer days to give way to a watercolour of rich reds, oranges and browns. Sweaters, shawls, skirts, turtlenecks… what better way to embrace the new season than by inspiring our outfits on this newly arrived palette, before pouring ourselves into Winter’s reliable black.
Burgundy
Inspired by wine from the French Burgundy region, this dark red embraces autumn in full by projecting the ambition that a new season brings, aligning with the start of a new academic year.
Camel
A timeless season staple, camel allows us to make the most of pieces from previous years. It also gives us an opportunity to experiment with more vintage looks, leaning towards a looser and more relaxed fit for both pants and sweaters.
Olive Green
The perfect bridge between summer and autumn. Olive green holds onto the last hints of the lush leafy trees engulfing the quad from May to September, transitioning into the new season by serving as more timid, darker counterpart. Pair this with beige, Burgundy or grey for for a harmonious palette.
Gray
Gray best contributes to our autumn leaf palette by serving as the perfect backdrop to experiment on. It provides the perfect comfort zone, helping to balance out the bolder reds and oranges of the season.
