With the drizzle comes the arrival of autumn, bringing with it a new wave of style inspiration, refreshed outfit combinations and of course, a fresh selection of trends. For many of us, this is a time to consult our wardrobes, as we shift around our light layers making space for our heavier knits and cosy coats to take pride of place once again. After rearranging my own wares I quickly found that I was ready for something new. A way to breathe life into my most reliable staples and outfit builds, bringing them firmly into autumn. And I'm most drawn to the rising colour trends of 2024.
What draws me to colour trends is that they're in no way fleeting, as the right shades maintain their adoration year after year. After a quick exploration, I found that the high street was already fully stocked with my colour needs, declaring these 6 to be the most prominent of the season. Whilst we spent summer floating around in white linen dresses that celebrated the bright days, autumn brings its own shit in palette of deeper tones as the weather turns and we move towards the more muted months.
In celebration of autumn's arrival, the rich shades that we see in our surroundings have seeped into our wardrobes for just as rich an injection of colour. Deep burgundy, an elevated shade at all times of the year, has returned in classic forms as we start the new season. For a touch of neutral respite, chalk tones have taken over from white and are primed to pair with all other colour trends for autumn 2024. We've long declared that deep brown shades are endlessly elegant, and the high street has doubled down on this fact with a swathe of refined silhouettes. There are more versatile shades too that are ready to integrate seamlessly into our wardrobes with undeniable ease, so keep scrolling to see the 6 colour trends that the high street is backing for autumn 2024.
