Dark Denim — the grounding neutral

Dark denim is a staple in any season, but in autumn it becomes a neutral with character. Use it as the foundation piece for layering: jeans, skirts, jumpsuits and pair with warmer tones like mocha or burgundy to complete the look.

Styling Tips:

  • Monochrome denim-on-denim works if you vary textures (e.g. a raw denim jacket over washed jeans).
  • Dark denim bottoms are excellent “canvas” pieces to add stronger accent colours on top.
  • Accessorise with metallics (bronze, aged gold) or soft neutrals (camel, oatmeal) to soften.

Mocha — the soft, warming mid tone

Mocha (a muted warm brown with grey undertones) acts like a “chameleon” in a wardrobe. It pairs beautifully with both neutrals and richer shades. In autumn 2025, mocha gives a gentle warmth that doesn’t overpower.

Styling Tips:

  • Use mocha as a bridging shade between dark denim and deeper burgundy pieces.
  • Try tonal layering with cappuccino, taupe, or latte shades for a cozy “fall neutrals” look.
  • Accents in cream, ivory, or even soft sage can elevate mocha without flattening it.

Burgundy — the rich accent

Burgundy (deep wine, muted red-purple) adds drama, contrast, and elegance to your autumn palette. It’s a go-to accent for dresses, blouses, knits, or accessories.

Styling Tips:

  • Use burgundy as a focal colour: a top, a skirt, a coat, or even a bag or shoes.
  • Combine with dark denim + mocha for a balanced, rich look (denim base, mocha mid layer, burgundy pop).
  • For extra polish, consider metallics like brass or deep gold as hardware or accessories.

Mix & Match Inspiration

Here are a few outfit ideas combining the three colours:

  • Denim bottoms + mocha knit + burgundy sweater or dress layered over: For example, pair the Adalae wide-leg jeans with the mocha  jacket and throw on the burgundy knit jumper underneath.
  • Burgundy blouse + denim jacket + neutral accessories: Use the Monsoon blouse under a denim jacket, and break it up with a mocha bag or scarf.
  • All-neutrals, just with a pop: Dark denim jeans, mocha knit top, neutral coat, and a burgundy belt or clutch to carry the accent.

Why This Palette Works for Autumn 2025

  • Timeless but fresh — none of these colours are trend “flash in the pan.”
  • Wearability across settings — casual daytime looks to smarter dress days or evenings.
  • Layer-friendly — they support mixing textures and tones without clashing.
  • Affordable options — the items above show you don’t need to spend a fortune to look current.
