Looking for colour in Autumn

9 replies

Is anyone else not loving the autumn colours coming into shops at the moment? Everywhere I look I see khaki, beige, mustard and black. Colours that look amazing on other woment but drain the life out of me! Anyone know where I should head for brighter, more colourful autumnal clothes or should I just stay out of the shops til spring time? Thanks

I’m seeing quite a lot of red that I like at the moment, and berry colours. Also a lot of teal, I really like cream too, but yes there’s a fair bit of 70’s sludge around. I don’t mind mustard for accessories and I’m pondering an olive coloured bag but mustard doesn’t suit me as a colour to wear.

I look truly awful in mustard! I have a friend who looks amazing in it. It's not fair.

Teal I could do, and some of the berry reds.

Yes, mustard makes my face look greenish, Teal though I like, very rich colour, it can look very elegant I think.

I bought this cashmere jumper in the hot bronze and it is truly lovely! Nicer than the pic!

Oh that lovely, lots of colours to choose from! I like the azure and cerise colours, the brighter the better for me and the crew neck really brings the colour up to my face. It's amazing what difference it makes!

Yes and they are nice quality this year, thicker than John Lewis. I might also get the azure

I love khaki! Not sure on mustard but what I really hate because it does not suit me is rust/that pumpkin colour. Autumn is the worst season for me! Also cannot wear burgundy/wine maroon - which is everywhere. I know seasons have their colours but blimey!

There's also a lot of magenta and pine green around. Two of the my favourite colours
