pantone color trend autumn/winter 2021/2022
hello, fall fashion! today, we’re talking about the Pantone color trend autumn/winter 2021/2022. as you can imagine, this time of year there’s lots of inspiration from mother nature. October is a transitional month that ushers in cooler temps and a muted color scheme. vibrant summer days filled with sunshine until well into the evening hours are fast disappearing. in its stead are longer nights, shorter days, and moody skies that are a brilliant shade of blue one moment then replaced with swirling gray clouds. the seasons are a changing and our color schemes with it. browns, creams, grays, and pops of orange surround us at every turn. i think i like it.
happy Monday, ladies! October is steamrolling right along at a quick pace. Halloween is a mere 20 days away and counting. 45 days until Thanksgiving and Christmas is (gulp) 75 days. good golly, miss molly, where has this year gone?! before i get ahead of myself, i want to enjoy every minute of fall in all its splendor, including the gorgeous Pantone color trend autumn/winter 2021/2022. today, i’m wearing Adobe with flecks of Root Beer and Cream.
Pantone color trend autumn/winter 2021/2022
it’s always a good idea to stay abreast of trends even if we don’t incorporate all of them into our lives. no one wants to become dated or stodgy in their thinking or their wardrobes. staying modern, fresh, and relevant is essential at any age, but especially as we age, whether we’re mastering a new app or tweaking our makeup hues. if you’ve noticed blues, yellows, greens, and Fuschia abound in decorating and design this year, there’s a reason. these colors are from the Pantone color trend autumn/winter 2021/2022 introduced for NYFW.
today’s ootd starts with plaid pants (limited sizes similar here and here) from Banana Republic. BR has a sale until October 11th, 30% off select items with an additional 20% if you have a Banana Republic card. it’s a great time to stock up on basics like this turtleneck sweater available in five colors. earlier this fall, i purchased a black turtleneck last seen here. it fits like a dream, so i added cream and gray to my collection. sometimes turtlenecks can feel tight, restricting, hot or suffocating. not this one, as the fabric is lightweight, soft, and comfy. exactly like a sweater should feel. a suede jacket from Ralph Lauren (old, similar here, here, and here) adds texture and mimics the Pantone color Adobe that’s trending this season. suede mules from Jenni Kayne are back in action (i’m wearing them non-stop this fall), and a hand-tooled handbag (old, similar here, here, and here) from Patricia Nash adds a subtle western vibe.

What a beautiful look! I am loving the new browns this year. I think that is the best looking bag I’ve seen in a long time.
I agree!
Why has the font changed in your posts – much more difficult to read.
Love this color combination, Beth. Just can’t wrap my head around ‘soybean’??!! Haha
You look wonderful in today’s look. Classic clothes suit you very well. The jacket and glen plaid pants are gorgeous and my favorites on you so far this fall. Your handbag is similar to a vintage bag I have from Mexico.
You are a great writer! Yes – I adore your content! But, I read today’s opening paragraph twice. I often read your opening paragraphs twice! Today it hit me that I needed to say this to you & thank you not only for your content but for the quality of your writing! Thank you!
Hi Beth, I love the look and the colours. I agree with Eve’s comment that is the best bag I’ve seen in along time too, xoxo
Yum – love that suede jacket! Those colours look fantastic on you. I also agree with the bag reviews. Not to big or small and especially love the hardware. Protective corners will make it last and look great for the long haul. I often put invisible protectors on the bottom of bags that can sit on the floor, as it prolongs the look of the bag.
That’s so funny…..I’ve been hunting for a Ralph suede jacket for the past several days….yours is exactly what I am looking for! No one does suede jackets like Ralph!! Thanks for your blog!
Beautiful rich browns. They are gorgeous and look so nice on you. I’ve always liked wearing brown in the fall. I’ve recently had my coloring analyzed and although I have brown hair I’ve been told I’m a “summer.” Summers aren’t flattered by warm browns…I’m waiting to receive color swatches, so we’ll see. I’ll will definitely bookmark this post and refer back, because I love the whole outfit!
you can always tweak an outfit based on your style preferences. even though you’ve had your colors analyzed don’t let that stop you from coloring outside the box.
