Fall Color Palette

Photo: Pantone
Pantone aka the " Color Gods" pretty much dictate the color palette for every fashion season. Who says that winter is limited to a colorless existence?  Pantone based this romantic palette on how painters construct art, by mixing neutrals with vibrant bright colors.

Free People is never afraid to take risks when it comes to color. Here are some of our favorite Pantone inspired pieces.
FP Shrunken Victorian Jacket $148.00, Star Pullover Sweater $88.00, Pullover Laguna Coast $98.00, Peached Duster Jacket $168.00, Geo Garden Dress $128.00, Rouched Jersey Dress $78.00

For many of us wearing these bright colors maybe a little overwhleming .  Here's a tip: keep your clothing neutral and incorporate this seasons hottest color palette into your accessories.

Honey Suckle is a great fall color. It's Festive and adds warmth that works with winter neutrals, it's also a great lip color for holiday
AC assorted 55 necklace $55.00, Chan Luu 5 wrap bracelet $160.00

Not only is this color fun to say,  phlox is a statement color.  Phlox is one of those colors you simply can not take your eyes off, pair it with another bright color like honeysuckle to add a pop.
Bracelets (back to front) AC assorted 26 wrap bracelet $26.00, AC assorted 30 bracelet $30.00, AC assorted 25 bracelet $25.00,  AC assorted 25 bracelet $25.00, Seraphina mini feather earrings $46.00

Nothing says fall like a touch of orange.  Emberglow when paired with phlox and deep teal gives a warm royal look.
AC assorted 20 earring $20.00, AC assorted 28 wrap bracelet, Deepa Grunani headband flower & petal $39.00
When you think fall yellow isn't exactly the first color that comes to mind.  Bamboo is a fall yellow with a green undertone reminiscent of leaves turning from green to yellow.  Pair it with Phlox for exotic look
AC assorted 22 wrap bracelet $22.00, Nakamol crystal nugget chain single $34.00, Bliss & Love Betsy feather earring $52.00
My favorite.  Deep Teal is a blue-toned green that looks amazing with warm colors like honeysuckle and bamboo.
