This season’s dominant hue is brown. Its diverse tones are showcased on runways, in street-style snapshots, and among fashion aficionados. Brown-focused monochrome outfits stand out, alongside combinations of brown with cool shades like blue and mint green. As the colder months approach, pairings of subdued tones with vibrant natural colors gain prominence, exemplified in the autumn-winter 2025/2026 collections of Prada, Stella McCartney, and Chloé. Fashion leans towards subtle balance and refined highlights. Here’s how to capture this trend with seven of the season’s most stylish color pairings.
Blue + chocolate brown
A standout pairing from the fashion month. A light blue shade tempers the intensity of rich chocolate. Just a single element — perhaps a blouse or pullover — is sufficient to lighten a warm-toned monochrome ensemble.
Francesca Babbi
Green + pink
In Miu Miu’s collection, shades of pink and fuchsia blend harmoniously with moss and olive green. Swap vivid colors for paler hues – and the outcome is strikingly soft.
Vincenzo Grillo
Brown + orange
The fusion of tangerine and caramel is especially relevant this autumn. Opt for muted, deep tints of caramel, pumpkin, and terracotta – they’ll impart richness to your ensembles.
Acielle / Styledumonde
Red + gray
Street style influencers have already embraced this pairing as a season’s favorite. The intense tomato red harmonizes exquisitely with blue-gray, producing a refined yet vibrant aesthetic.
Vincenzo Grillo
Yellow + camel + gray
A lesson in effective color blocking: one vivid accent is tempered by a duo of neutral shades. Sunny yellow, sandy camel, and soft gray unite into a cozy and balanced palette.
Vincenzo Grillo
Chocolate + mint
Just as with sky blue, the chocolate tone is beautifully emphasized when paired with the cool crispness of mint. This color collaboration appears particularly striking in silk or satin garments.
Valentina Valdinoci
Burgundy + brown
Yet another luxurious match this season. Deep cherry and dark chocolate create a sumptuous appearance. These are shades reminiscent of autumn and flawlessly complement each other.
