With each season comes a new color palate, new fabrics, and new styles to be excited about. For my September Wednesday Wardrobing series, I will be covering all of the color, fabric, and style trends for Fall 2023 every Wednesday night at 6 p.m. MST on my Facebook Business Page. Each live video will have an accompanying blog post, but in the video, I will show you examples of the colors, fabrics and styles I am highlighting for the week.

To begin with, let’s talk color:

With over twenty-five years in the business of fashion and helping women dress their best, I have seen a lot of color palates come and go. This year’s palate has a great balance between warm and cool colors, offering something for every skin tone. I also love the the juxtaposition of the deep and earthy Fiery Brick with the bright and cheerful Blue Atoll. The pop of of Sharp Green also adds a playful touch to this color palate and signals a cheerier disposition than those of the previous few years. Life is returning to normal again; people are travelling, and this palate demonstrates the hope found in the promise of adventure.

This is how Pantone puts it in their color report:

“The free-spirited assemblage of colour featured in London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2023/2024 abolish limitations and propel us into novel realms. Reflecting a focus on unique personalisation and our desire to break free, this season’s colours rejoice in individuality and creativity, blending our need for vibrant, joyful colour that actively vies for attention with essential, yet refined subtle timeless tones. Celebrating a sense of freedom, spontaneous colour expressions, and unorthodox colour pairings, these chosen colours expand our understanding of colour, driving us toward a new openness and promoting a message to stay true to oneself.” (https://www.pantone.com/articles/fashion-color-trend-report/london-fashion-week-autumn-winter-2023-2024/)

As a boutique owner with a Wyoming storefront, I tend to gravitate to the earthier, more neutral colors, as sometimes we feel a little conspicuous in bright and bold colors here in the West. However, in my own store, I am loving seeing touches of bright Kelly Green and Fuchsia being used to pop black and white as well as weighty currants and eggplants. We love our blues so, I am also excited about the mix of soft and bright options this season, as they are so easily paired with denim ,and we love that too!! The soft peaches and peachy pinks are a welcome addition to the color palate, as they pair back with olive green.

Watch my Live Video tonight for some examples of these colors and how to pair them.
