8 Runway-Approved Pantone Colors You Need in Your Closet This Fall

Hello, fall. It’s nice to see you again. The glorious days of summer (and all the fabulous crop tops, bikinis and free-wheelin’ dresses that go along with it, sigh) will soon be a distant memory, but with an onslaught of #OOTD-worthy fall trends headed our way (and the promise of a killer fall wardrobe in its wake), it’s safe to say that we’re coping quite well. But it’s not just the prospect of new silhouettes, must-have fall accessories and shoes (oh, the shoes) that have us lusting after cool, autumnal weather — the onset of the new season goes hand in hand with a palette of dramatic, moody hues, the likes of which have been hibernating in the back of the closet since Memorial Day. Below, we’re taking you on a technicolor tour of this season’s hottest shades that are guaranteed to keep the awardrobe blahs at bay. Scroll on for eight of the most need-to-know colors for fall.

Red and orange are autumnal standbys, but shades of yellow always seem to get the snub. This year just might be a game-changer for the iconic fall color, with a hot shade of spicy mustard daring to assert its sartorial power, especially when styled alongside tones of navy, burgundy and denim.

1. Samuji Orange Pead Trouser ($360): Spice up your on-duty routine by swapping out a pair of snoozy black trousers for these statement cropped flares. Teamed with a flowy floral blouse or oversized button-down and asymmetric earrings, they’re a strong contender for wardrobe MVP.

2. Forever21 High Neck Slub Knit Bodysuit ($10): Everybody needs a bodysuit. Consider this ‘70s-inspired stunner the next best thing to a plain white tee when it comes to playing the layering game. Rock it solo with a pleated leather midi skirt and Mary Janes for the office, then dress it down with boyfriend jeans and a pastel blue duster for laid-back weekend shenanigans.

Dusty Cedar

Step aside, Rose Quartz: There’s a new shade of pink in town. More muted and sophisticated than its pastel counterpart, Dusty Cedar flawlessly embodies the new season’s mood, and looks downright DDG with rich, earthy tones and colorful prints alike.

3. J.Crew Lucite Link Necklace ($60): Go ahead and allow yourself to get chained down to these colorful lucite links. The soft shade of pink and grosgrain ribbon balance out the chainlink’s tough-girl styling for a look that’s both modern and feminine. Dress up an everyday tee by popping this beauty on with a boyfriend blazer and suede glove shoes.

4. Mango Cocoon Wool-Blend Coat ($100): Take on cooler temps like it ain’t no thang with a vibrant cocoon topper that screams retro chic. Bad days are impossible with this bright number in tow, especially when paired with embroidered ankle boots and a killer bag.

Lush Meadow

The lush greens of summer might be fading fast in favor of rich gold, red and copper hues, but Lush Meadow will keep the memory of warmer times alive, even on the most frigid afternoons.

5. H&M Dress With Trumpet Sleeves ($25): LBD? Please. Get ready to swoon hard for this swingy floral dress that’s worthy of happy hour or a casual backyard wedding. The breezy trumpet sleeves lend the frock a free-spirited vibe, while the dark jewel tone adds just the right amount of new-season sophistication. Throw in a messy chignon, berry lipstick and lace-up cutout booties to achieve bohemian goddess status in seconds.

6. Finders Keepers The Way Tunic ($150): A solid fusion of modern elegance and envelope-pushing, this graphic tunic is the only piece you need to send any after-hours outfit into fashion-forward territory. A longer-length silo and eye-catching print provide the perfect balance of in-your-face style and wear-anywhere appeal. Just add streamlined culottes, a glitzy box clutch and statement drop earrings.

Potter’s Clay

Walking the line somewhere between understated and over the top, this spicy orange hue belongs to a more traditional fall palette than, say, fuchsia or pale pink — but average it certainly is not. Wear the color in unexpected ways — like in the form of tailored culottes, for example — for maximum impact.

7. Free People Into the Sea Cardigan ($198): Forget summer — this coppery cardigan has us excited about hunkering down for winter. It’s perfect for transitioning your favorite warm-weather frocks to fall with its long-line silhouette and warm alpaca wool. The only thing missing? Leather knee-high boots and layering necklaces.

8. ASOS High Waisted Peg Pants ($41): Denim doesn’t stand a chance this season with a pair of colorful trousers like this hangin’ around. Style these pumpkin-colored pants with slip-on sneakers and a snuggly sweater for an afternoon of apple picking or a visit to the fairgrounds.

Riverside

Blue heads over to the dark side this season with dark and stormy shades channeling the return of shorter days. A step beyond navy, the neutral color makes the perfect partner to pastels and brights alike.

9. & Other Stories Luminous Satin Bomber Jackett ($125): Bomb’s away! Any throw-on-and-go layer that can be dressed up or down with little to no effort is always good in our book. Show off those impeccable styling skills by teaming this sleek satin bomber jacket with a flirty midi dress and statement ankle boots for a tough-girl take on a timeless look. Minimalist geometric baubles not required, but highly encouraged.

10. Finery Stella Leather Sling Back With Buckle ($155): Step into fall in style with suede slingback steppers that give sky-high stilettos a run for their money. Between the petite block heel, crossover straps and super soft suede, these swoon-worthy shoes are guaranteed to slay night and day. Stylish enough to wear after-hours and comfy enough to rock on the job, these are the kicks you’ll being reaching for on repeat.

Bodacious

Traditional fall colors are great — don’t get us wrong — but gray days and dipping spirits call for something with a little more oomph. Pantone’s Bodacious is ready to answer the call, providing a much-needed punch of fun color to send bad vibes packin’.

11. Topshop Structured Peg Trouser ($80): Pinstripes might be all the rage, but we’ll be looking to fabulous shades of fuchsia to set our on-the-job ensembles apart. With a little thoughtful styling (just slip them on with a structured blouse and printed silk scarf), you’ll be ready to own the boardroom like the girlboss you are. Finish off your polished yet playful look with chic mules and stud earrings that command attention.

12. Finery Belshaw Fold A Line Skirt ($115): Your approach to dressing? Loud and proud. And you can definitely count on making an entrance when you bust out this architectural skirt. For upcoming nuptials or a night out on the town, wear it with a simple silk cami, leather jacket and glam collar necklace for a serious serving of wow factor. Wallflowers need not apply.

Airy Blue

On the flip side of Riverside, there’s Airy Blue, a slightly amped up version of Serenity, one of Pantone’s 2016 Colors of the Year. Pastels are a welcome addition to any cool weather lineup, with their softness and lightness serving as a visual respite from cloud-filled skies.

13. Zara Masculine Coat ($149): You gotta love outerwear that somehow manages to make you feel excited about the prospect of trading out summer dresses for heavy wool sweaters. Bring the drama with straight-from-the-runway shades and pointed-toe loafers with menswear-inspired appeal for a day of errand running (street style #onfleek). After hours, don’t hesitate to team your new favorite layering piece with sequin-studded dresses and streamlined jumpsuits for an all-around unforgettable ensemble.

14. Reformation Ophelia Dress ($218): Hello, gorgeous. Add this pretty printed midi dress to your must-have list. Between pulling bridesmaid duty and schmoozing by the bar, this A-line stunner does it all. Windblown bombshell waves and a flirty cat eye are obligatory as you sashay about town.

Aurora Red

There’s just something about red; season after season, the fiery hue reinvents itself, with a hot shade of Aurora Red reigning supreme for fall.

15. Express Bell Sleeve Zip Front Blouse ($50): White button-downs are classic, but if you’re in the market for a new at-work ally, this red-hot number is it. This zip-front top can easily be adopted for the office with a suede pencil skirt or jacquard ankle trousers. Round out your new It-girl-approved uniform with pointed-toe slip-on loafers and a stylish timepiece.

16. Free People Night Out Crossbody ($98): You can take the girl out of the festival, but you can’t take the festival out of the girl. Long after the sun has set over the main stage, this tassel-tastic crossbody will keep the good vibes going. With circular fastenings and boldly colored suede, it’s not one to go unnoticed this season.

In our eyes, color is never a bad idea, and though the moments where you get stuck in a wardrobe rut and reach for boring (yet dependable) all-black attire can be all too common, there are ways to work your way out of it. Trends often cycle through the seasons, so welcoming this next one means a brand new set of colors to play with – even beyond your wardrobe. Check out 6 trending colors that fit right into your summer color palette below!

1. Barbie Pink

There’s no doubt that the anticipation for Barbie to hit theaters has crept into every area of our lives. Barbie pink is back in a big way this summer, adorning our clothes, accessories, beverages, and even our interiors.

TikTok’s “Miamicore” (all about the bright and the bold) interior design trend is a testament to Barbie pink’s power at the moment. According to Taskrabbit, 25% of people expressed a desire to incorporate pink accents into their homes this year.

Hot pink hues were also… well, hot during NYFW, and have carried this season’s brightest fashion looks.

2. Red-orange

Image via Flying Tomato

It’s not totally red, and it’s not really orange, either. It’s red-orange, and we love that this color’s trending right now because it's complimentary to practically any skin tone and just hits different in the summertime.

Pantone truly hit the mark on this color trend with the hue Cherry Tomato, which was featured in their Summer ‘23 Color Trend Report. This Loveliest Looks Woven Midi Dress ($64) from Flying Tomato is the true embodiment of the color.

Perhaps its popularity is because it reminds us of actual tomatoes – the ones we’re growing in our home gardens and using for fresh summer pasta salads. We also can’t forget the viral Loewe tomato candle.

Fiery, tomato-y red-orange looks stunning against turquoise, chartreuse, and this next trending color: lilac.

3. Lilac

Image via Urban Outfitters

As Swifties, we’ll take a chance and say this next trending color is a product of the “Lavender Haze” effect. But it could also be that lilac is simply easy to feature as the main component of an outfit, or be used for a small pop of color in your room. This lilac BDG Eddie Ribbed Shrug Sweater ($39) is proof – the versatility of it all!

The trending shade could *also* be linked to our growing passion for florals and botanicals, whether they come in scent or flavor form. We adore them all the same! According to Tastewise, in the past two years alone, floral flavors have received a +91% rise in consumer interest, with botanical flavors following suit, experiencing a +31% increase. Their scented counterparts are popular as well, being highly correlated with stress relief.

4. Lime Green

Image via Olive and June

The bright and the bold continue in this trending green. It seems we’ve departed from spring’s popular chartreuse to more lime green shades in the color canon – after all, there’s nothing wrong with standing out a bit!

Like lilac, lime green is easy to apply all-over, or as an accent – it’s whatever you’re feeling. Greens in all forms and shades are trusted to be nourishing and lush, but this punchy take just infuses the summer months in sheer fun! Take this Lime Fizz Polish from Olive & June ($9) – it truly stands out among the rest.

5. Metallic Silver

This next color simply shines. More prominent in fashion than in interior design, metallic silver is having a renaissance – no, literally. Thanks to Beyonce’s recently-embarked Renaissance tour that’s dripping in eye-catching metallics and disco-esque futuristic aesthetics, interest in silver pieces has dramatically increased.

A recent finding by Nasty Gal revealed that online interest in 'metallic cowboy boots' skyrocketed 488% after the first night of the tour, according to the analysis of Google search data.

Google searches for 'silver cowboy boots,' a la NG's Real Leather Stitched Western Boots ($98), also rose 300% worldwide after the first tour date, as well as searches for 'disco cowboy hat', which went up 525%. The metrics for ‘silver bodysuit; and ‘silver corset’ measure up to the large increases as well.

“These increases in searches tell us exactly what everyone is wearing to the tour, with many fans wanting to emulate Beyoncé's iconic and daring style,” a spokesperson for Nasty Gal said. “Expect to see plenty of chromatic cowboy boots, head-to-toe silver, and disco-embellished cowboy hats on your tour date.”

6. Cream White

Cream white is super design-friendly, and can be observed through current fashion and home trends. It’s most prevalent in the fashion world when we look at sustainable fashion – people are making more careful investments in their wardrobe in an effort to shop sustainably and halt detrimental spending habits. See: the rise of capsule wardrobes.

This hue is also incorporated into minimalist fashion trends that prioritize easy styling by using neutral palettes – think blacks, whites, tans, creams, and the like.

Furthermore, cream white’s summer presence in architecture and interior design can be attributed to the same reasons. Consumers are craving the minimalistic simplicity found in limited color palettes.

The Chip and Joanna-style houses are a good example – they boast an uncomplicated black and white color scheme that makes things look super clean and minimal. We’ve taken that concept and ran with it for interiors, too.

The first few trailers for Zendaya's Challengers hooked me with the promise of a steamy love triangle and plenty of drama on and off the tennis court. I can now confidently say this is one of the best movies of the year — if not Zendaya's entire career. The film (which just nabbed a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score) explores love and passion in a totally different way than I expected. And while it engages your senses, more than anything, it makes you feel.

"Challengers" Is A Fully Emotional Experience

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Challengers (directed by Luca Guadagnino) is a full experience thanks to the visuals, sound design, and score. The first 10 minutes alone will make you want to re-enter your tennis era, and the vibrant feel of Challengers makes everything from a American college campus to a backyard feel like the Italian coast.

This backyard is where we see Mike Faist's Art, Josh O'Connor's Patrick, and Zendaya's Tashi truly mesh for the first time. Both Art and Patrick want Tashi's number, but while she's curious, she's not so sure she should offer it up. They spend time talking about tennis and college, and later that night, Tashi promises her number to the one that wins their match, rather than the one that catches her eye or moves her. It's a telling choice that has major ramifications later on in the story. Tashi just wants to watch drama unfold, especially if it makes the boys' tennis more emotional (she, as the kids say, loves mess).

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

From this point on, Tashi, Patrick, and Art move as a unit, even when their relationships end. Tashi's at the helm, and while she's definitely the mastermind, she's more like their North Star than a leader giving them direct orders. Patrick and Art follow her light over the course of the next 13 years, to a Challengers tournament that pits the estranged friends against each other.

It's very clear what both men think about her, and the smallest details reinforce they are in love. (For instance, at one of Tashi's early matches, their eyes linger on her even after she's hit the ball, while she barely moves a muscle to keep up with their match later in the movie).

"Challengers" Is More About The Characters Than Tennis

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Even though all three leads are fully-formed, individual characters (with wildly different personalities, might I add), they switch places at any given point in the story to fill each other's emotional shoes. One moment, Art is hopeful, Tashi is calculated, and Patrick is driven. The next Tashi is entirely focused on tennis, Art is willing to bend the rules of right and wrong to get what he wants, and Patrick is left in their wake. You can never truly root for one person before the tables are turned, but despite it all, the tension between them always leaves you wanting more.

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

While the movie has a number of tennis matches (which means an endless amount of tennis grunts), the most impactful moments for me are the quiet ones. We know Art and Patrick are in love with Tashi, but we're never quite sure what Tashi thinks about herself.

The Spider-Man actress brings a nuance to the character we haven't seen from her before, and there's a cautious tenderness to the moments where Tashi's back is facing another character, or where she's standing alone. You can almost see the gears turning in her head. "Almost" is the most important word because Challengers is full of "almosts": Tashi almost apologizes, Art almost chooses himself over everyone.

Image via Amazon MGM Studios

Challengers is full of open-ended emotions that serve as an exploration of human nature in all its complicated, manipulative, dreamy glory. It's a movie about passion and love and desire — and it's one that leaves you wondering who, or what, the object of that desire is.

Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris caused quite a stir at Elton John's Oscars afterparty, but for good reason!

Sophia even wore her best accessory — a mega-watt smile — that further confirms this blissful pair.

Well, our wait is over because Sophia decided to open about what led to her romance with Ashlyn Harris and why certain rumors hold no merit!

Since we're clearly tuned in to this love story, here's everything you need to know about Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris's relationship!

Who is Sophia Bush?

Sophia Bush has had a lengthy career as an actress, and she's most recognized for her portrayal of Brooke Davis in the hit TV series One Tree Hill. She's also appeared in Nip/Tuck, Chicago Fire, Incredibles 2, and John Tucker Must Die. When she's not showing off her acting chops, she hosts the Drama Queens podcast alongside former One Tree Hill castmates Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz!

Who is Ashlyn Harris?

Ashlyn Harris is a former U.S. soccer player who had a successful run — no pun intended — as a goalkeeper during the career. She also won the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada and continued making an impressionable mark. However, she announced her retirementin 2022 and — per her Instagrampage — has gone on to become the Global Creative Advisor for Gotham FC and Adidas Football.

When did the dating rumors about Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris start?

June 2023

Rumors about a possible connection between Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris swirled last summer when Cosmopolitanreported they were on a panel at Cannes Lion International Festival of Creativity. Sophia shared a pic of the two at the festival on Instagramand wrote, "Love you @ashlynharris24 and @sophieannkelly" towards the end of her caption.

A source told Page Six, "It’s very new...They are definitely a couple.” But, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris didn't confirm or deny anything at that time.

When did Sophia Bush file for divorce from Grant Hughes?

August 2023

A couple of months after Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris were seen getting cozy together, Sophia filed for divorce from her former husband Grant Hughes. Peopleshared that they were only married for a little over a year — 13 months — but didn't end on a bad terms. A source then told Entertainment Tonight, "Grant and Sophia are better off as friends and they weren’t getting enough time with each other before their breakup."

When did Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger file for divorce?

October 2023

While things seemed to quiet down, Ashlyn Harris soon filed for divorce from Ali Krieger after getting married towards the end of 2019. What's interesting is that a source told Peoplethis decision wasn't surprising. "Although it’s new information to the public, Ashlyn and Ali’s divorce began months ago and they have been living apart since the summer,” the source said.

This is also around the time it was speculated Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris had their first official date. A rep told People, "Grant will always want the best for Sophia, and is supportive of all that makes her happy and fulfilled." We guess it helps he and Sophia had a solid friendship before getting married!

As for Ali Krieger, she basically let the world know things were business as usual with an Instagrampost. She captioned a pic of her playing soccer with, "Preparing for playoffs while in my Beyoncé lemonade era." A comment from user @lgbtlfg said, "the fact that a lot of players in these comment’s usually mind their business and stay out of drama but are supporting ali should tell everyone all they need to know."

The only thing Ashlyn said about it on Instagramis that she never intended for her and Ali's divorce to be made a public matter. A portion of her note says, "This process is never easy, but we were making our way through."

Have Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris publicly talked about their relationship?

March 2024

Besides showing up to Elton John's Oscars afterparty together, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris were previously tight-lipped about their relationship. The only hint Sophia offered was much more of a reflective post about 2023 on Instagramat the beginning of January. She said, "This year taught me to listen to myself and no one else. To let go of expectation that wounds and grasp possibility that frees. To not care about optics and instead invest in honesty."

But, she's since chosen to own where she is in life.

Sophia Bush on the cover of Glamour Magazine

April 2024

Sophia Bush has now reached a point where she's publicly ready to stand in her truth regarding her life and her relationship status so much that she penned her own cover story for Glamour. The first thing she did was open up about how she really felt about her marriage and fertility struggles.

She wrote, "But after the wedding I found myself in the depths and heartbreak of the fertility process, which was the most clarifying experience of my life. It feels like society is finally making space for brutally honest conversations about how hard and painful any fertility journey is, but I kept mine private. I was trying to get through months of endless ultrasounds, hormone shots, so many blood draws that I have scar tissue in my veins, and retrieval after retrieval, while simultaneously realizing the person I had chosen to be my partner didn’t necessarily speak the same emotional language I did.”

Image via Lauren Dukoff/Glamour Magazine

As far as her relationship with Ashlyn Harris is concerned, the star is enjoying the love that exists between them. Contrary to alleged rumors, their initial relationship was a platonic one that stemmed from a place of understanding and support.

She told Glamour,I didn’t expect to find love in this support system. I don’t know how else to say it other than: I didn’t see it until I saw it. And I think it’s very easy not to see something that’s been in front of your face for a long time when you’d never looked at it as an option and you had never been looked at as an option. What I saw was a friend with her big, happy life. And now I know she thought the same thing about me.”

She also added, "A lot of effort was made to be graceful with other people’s processing, their time and obligations, and their feelings. What felt like seconds after I started to see what was in front of me, the online rumor mill began to spit in the ugliest ways. There were blatant lies. Violent threats. There were the accusations of being a home-wrecker. The ones who said I’d left my ex because I suddenly realized I wanted to be with women—my partners have known what I’m into for as long as I have (so that’s not it, y’all, sorry!).”

Image via Lauren Dukoff/Glamour Magazine

It's safe to say that Sophia Bush is thoroughly comfortable with her love life and identity as a queer woman. She said, "I’ve experienced so much safety, respect, and love in the queer community, as an ally all of my life, that, as I came into myself, I already felt it was my home. I think I’ve always known that my sexuality exists on a spectrum. Right now I think the word that best defines it is queer. I can’t say it without smiling, actually. And that feels pretty great.”

And this is what it looks like to reclaim your narrative when so many people are looking at a brief glimpse of the lives of celebrities. We love that Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris are loving each other on their terms without feeling pressured to share anything before they were ready to. Our hope is that their love story continues to unfold beautifully.
