Fall is the ultimate fashion season—with rich, warm colors that define the mood.

Saying goodbye to summer is always bittersweet (beach days are my favorite), but Fall 2025 is coming in strong with trends that feel both bold and timeless.

Let’s talk about this season’s standout colors: mocha brown, burgundy, and mustard yellow.
And I’m going to show you exactly how to wear them.

Hello Warmth: Mocha Brown Takes the Lead

Brown has always been a fall staple, but this year, it’s all about the warmer shades—think mocha, cinnamon, and toffee. These tones add beautiful depth while still acting as neutrals, making them incredibly versatile and elevated.

What I love about mocha brown is how effortlessly it works across different fabrics—knits, leather, wool, suede—you name it. It never feels like too much or too little. Every texture is enhanced by its richness.

Mocha is also the perfect base for monochromatic outfits. It allows you to mix textures without overwhelming the look, making layering feel intentional and chic.

Here’s a few ways you can style mocha:

Knit Sweater + Brown Leather Pants and white Womads Oxfords:

Go for a light mocha sweater with slightly darker leather pants. It’s such an effortlessly stylish combo that feels put-together without trying too hard. And again the monochromatic look is so satisfying when done right.

Suede brown Trousers + Blue Sweater Vest + Black Belt:

I also love brown and blue. This one’s perfect for the office and works great for warmer fall climates (like here in Miami). Layer a long-sleeve tee underneath if you're somewhere cooler.

Chunky Sweater + Mocha Trousers + Trench Coat:

A classic fall look that’s easy to wear and endlessly stylish. The trench coat adds so much sophistication but also keeps you warm if you’re outside apple picking.

Burgundy: The Color of the Season

To me, burgundy is fall and that was fully confirmed by my Gen Z social media specialist, so it must be true. It’s rich, moody, and timeless. The second I think of fall, my brain goes straight to burgundy.

I also love diving into color psychology (seriously, it scratches an itch in my brain), and yes—I did a whole video on what burgundy represents. Hint: it’s appetizing.

Burgundy works beautifully as a statement piece, especially when paired with a cozy texture like a knit.

One of my favorite looks is easily a chunky burgundy knit paired with a brown suede skirt. Finish the look off with White Womads Oxfords and peek-a-boo socks.

It’s the perfect outfit for a casual fall dinner date or even home decor shopping.

Mustard Yellow: Trust me here

While yellow is often a summer color, a muted mustard shade brings it into fall effortlessly. It’s bold and pairs surprisingly well with seasonal tones.

Pair mustard yellow with mocha brown to create a preppy but classic fall look.

Mustard also pairs beautifully with grey. Picture a knit sweater vest with a flowy grey skirt, it's easily giving Rachel Green energy.

For footwear, cow print or white peep toes add in more neutral that balances the warmth of mustard and tones down the cool grey.

Color combos for Fall

If you love playing with color like I do, try pairing burgundy with mustard yellow for a more preppy vibe.

Or a mustard yellow sweater paired with burgundy suede skirt. You can also add accessories such as scarves, bags and jewelry to add more excitement to the look.

Another simple and subtle way to add burgundy is with our new burgundy oxfords—an easy way to add depth without overwhelming the outfit.

Another favorite pairing: hunter green and burgundy, like just look. The color combination speaks for itself.

Burgundy is also perfect for softening an all-black outfit.

Just small pops of color can instantly warm up the look and burgundy is the perfect fall colour to add. Burgundy also looks beautiful with denim and darker blue colors.

Fall 2025: Step Into Confidence

This fall is all about intentional color. Whether you're building your wardrobe around neutrals like mocha brown or making a statement with burgundy and mustard, these shades bring both personality and versatility.

Oh and layers are your friend, they are cozy and warm and add so much dimension to your outfit!

Color doesn’t have to be super bright and neon to be powerful. A statement looks like a quiet suede mocha coat with blue jeans or a simple monochromatic look.
