More than black and two colors

Black stays if you love it. In Soft Autumn, your softer dark is Soft brown.

60 leads, 30 supports, 10 stays small.

Three outfits side by side on a plain warm off-white wall, as if worn by no one, each led by one color of the trio: Dusty rose on the left, Deep muted teal in the middle and Stone on the right.

What to wear instead of black, for every season

Why, and how solid

Wear soft cream near your face and soft brown instead of black. Blend earthy colors close in depth.

Why: Your coloring is soft and warm, so muted pieces keep your face first. Stark black and icy white tend to sit far from it.

How to read the cards

The color on each card is the palette color a piece sits closest to, not the exact color of the item. A picture shows that color on a plain, unbranded piece and not the product. Save picks with Add to my list, then open them all in one Amazon cart.
