Doesn’t it feel like every holiday has a designated color palette? Red, white, and blue; orange and black; red and green; you instantly know which holidays we’re talking about! Thanksgiving – and the month of November as a whole – is usually tied to warm, autumnal shades of red, orange, gold, and even brown. Seasonal clothes and décor reflect the vibrant colors we see on the leaves outside, as well as the quintessential Thanksgiving feast and even the cute, finger-painted turkeys we made as kids. This year, these cozy colors are doubling as hot fall trends! Take a look at some of our favorite Thanksgiving-ready pieces below, plus some of our top tips for styling them.
Red (Cate's Version)
Did you know that wearing red can have a psychological impact both internally and externally? Red effectively captures attention with just a glance and projects confidence and power. Some studies have even shown that wearing red makes you seem more attractive and authoritative to those around you! Even just a single pop of red in an otherwise neutral or monochromatic outfit will do the trick. Pick a bold, red accent to spice up your daily style this fall, and you’ll be turning heads left and right.
An Ode to Orange
Here in Upstate South Carolina, orange only means one thing: let’s go Tigers! Even though football season overlaps with Thanksgiving, these orange pieces can be worn year-round. Just like red, orange is a fiery, hard-to-miss color, making it a friend to maximalists everywhere. Luckily for minimalists, though, a big trend this fall is “less is more,” taking a single statement piece and balancing it with neutrals. So why not make the statement piece orange?
Go for Gold
Sunny butter yellow was all the rage over the summer – now it’s time for deep, golden wheat tones to take over. From the warmth of an early evening sunset to the classic Thanksgiving imagery of a cornucopia, late-autumn ambers evoke feelings of comfort, bounty, and togetherness. Steer the color of the summer firmly into fall with these gorgeous golden finds.
Don't Frown at Brown
We know – brown is no one’s favorite color. However, brown can be a rich neutral in a whole range of hues, from chestnut or camel to coffee or bronze. By mixing and matching various colors of brown, you can take the trendy monochrome look up a notch to exude understated luxury. The array of shades builds depth, making you look like you just stepped off a runway. And the best part? We have such a variety of brown pieces that you can capitalize on two fall trends at once when you seamlessly add a little leather or suede to your ensemble.
