Fall 2026: Colors of the Season
Fall color has a way of making even the clothes you already own feel different. Rich reds, deep teal, burgundy, forest green, warm rust, mustard, berry tones, and softer shades of mauve are bringing more color into the season without taking away from the classic pieces you wear year after year.
And you don’t need an entirely new fall wardrobe to work these colors into what you wear.
A sweater in a color you love can be worn with the jeans already in your closet. A colored jacket can give your usual denim shirt a completely different look. Even one new fall purchase can become part of several outfits when you know what to wear with it.

Below, I’ve rounded up pieces from different retailers in some of the colors you’ll be seeing throughout fall 2026. From sweaters and jackets to dresses and layers, these are easy ways to bring the season’s color into your wardrobe without changing everything you already wear.
You may find a color you’ve been wanting to add, a piece that fills a gap in your fall wardrobe, or simply a different version of something you already wear often.

Now, What Will You Wear With It?
Finding something you love is only the beginning. What matters next is how many ways you can actually wear it.
If you pick up the burgundy jacket, teal sweater, rust blouse, or another piece from this roundup, you shouldn’t have to go back and buy several more things just to create outfits around it. Start with the clothes you already have.
My post on how to use a seasonal capsule wardrobe to dress better with the clothes you have shows you how to use outfit ideas without needing the exact pieces shown. That same approach can help you get more from the fall purchases you make now—using similar pieces from your closet, making substitutions, and creating different outfits around what you bought.
The Fall Capsule Wardrobe eBooks can also give you outfit ideas for the rest of the season. Instead of buying a new piece and wondering what to wear with it after the first outfit, you can use the wardrobe plans to find different ways to style it with the clothes you already own.
Enjoy the colors of the season, choose the ones you actually want to wear, and make those purchases extend throughout the entire season.
