The Colors of Autumn

Your 2025 guide to this season’s palette

Autumn is more than a change in weather—it’s a shift in mood, pace, and color.

This Autumn–Winter 2025/26, the palette blends bold statement shades with rich, comforting tones for a wardrobe that feels both energizing and timeless. At Lily + James, we’ve curated our fall collection to reflect these standout hues, helping you step into the season with confidence and style.

This Season’s Key Colors

Eclectic Purple & Future Dusk Purple

Vivid yet sophisticated, these purples bring drama without overpowering. A rich, retro-glam standout. Pair an Eclectic Purple knit with Future Dusk accessories for a tonal, modern look.

Celestial Yellow

Bright, uplifting, and perfect for adding warmth to cooler days. Represents hope, curiosity, and positivity. Try it as a scarf, handbag, or knit layer to instantly energize your outfit.

Retro Blue & Lyons Blue

Cool, confident blues that feel crisp and versatile. Retro Blue offers a nostalgic-inspired softness, while Lyons Blue gives depth—wear them together for a layered tonal look.

Oxbow

A warm, russet brown that feels grounded and luxurious. A luxe, earthy neutral, not quite red nor burgundy, but deeply seductive and fashion-forward. Perfect in coats, boots, and statement leather pieces.

Deep Burgundy & Powder Pink

A romantic pairing—Deep Burgundy brings richness and drama, while Powder Pink adds softness and balance. Powder pink brings un unexpected yet soft and modern note for fall - fresh, wearable, and subtly  disruptive to the traditional autumn palettes. Wear together for a modern, feminine twist.

Chocolate Brown

Smooth, rich, and endlessly wearable — chocolate brown is autumn’s new neutral. Pair it with Oxbow for a tonal, earthy look or contrast it with Powder Pink for modern romance. Perfect in outerwear, leather accessories, or cozy knit layers.

Styling Tip: Balance bold tones with timeless neutrals like cream, camel, or charcoal. Layering these colors with mixed textures—think wool, silk, and brushed knits—will make them even more impactful.
