AUTUMN’S HOTTEST COLOUR TREND | TERRACOTTA

“Elegance is not standing out, but being remembered.” Giorgio Armani


It’s not just vintage fabrics from shearling to corduroy that designers are obsessed with this season, but 1970s colour palettes, too. I’m feeling so inspired by the beauty of autumn colours right now and with its rustic feel of stunning golds, browns and yellows, terracotta is ideal for the season of autumn.

Rust happens to be one of those colours that is universally flattering so if you haven’t worn this colour before now is the time! I don’t think I’d realized the full potential of the terracotta colour trend until now! A perfect addition to any wardrobe with its versatility and the “wear year round” qualities.

The best bit about this trend? Anything goes, from head-to-toe tonal looks to a statement tan shoe or bag. It suits all skin tones so really anyone can wear it, its earthy tones bring a flattering autumnal warmth to all complexions.

Due to the variety of shades of this colour trend, it’s up to you what end of the spectrum you go for. From tarnished gold and polished bronze, to burnt orange and warm praline, you can adapt the look to your style.

If you’re still considering adding these dusty hues to your sartorial repertoire like I have with this gorgeous Lipsy Rust Wrap Coat, here are 3 tips to keep in mind.

Go tonal

One way to have the colour make its own bold statement is by way of a monochromatic look. Pair rust with a brighter shade of orange or alternatively tone it down by teaming it with a chocolate brown or pastel pink for an Instagram worthy look.

Pair it with blue

Rust it’s one of the top shades of the season and it’s more versatile than you might think. It looks fantastic with blue, white, check or even print. In the same way that pale pink looks lovely with red, light blue paired with a rich shade of orange create an ideal Fall pair.

When you’re not sure if a colour matches rust, think about the outdoor world. If you can’t picture your colour of choice being found in nature, then it probably doesn’t go together.

When you look closer at my photos you will see how great this rust coat looks against the tone of the skyline. 

Go for the gold!

Terracotta shades look amazing with gold toned jewellery and make up. They are both bold and rich , and they complement each other very well. So, go for the gold!

    Rusty, coppery and terracotta shade are one of the most appealing autumnal shades, but I can’t seem to learn how to pull them off. You look amazing, I love your outfit!

    Such a stunning coat! I always stick to boring blacks and navies with my coats but I think it’s time to change things up with some colour.

    Funnily enough I used to dislike all the warm tones but for some reason, I’ve really been into the yellows, reds and burnt oranges this season! They are such beautiful warm colours that really help to celebrate fall eh?

    This terracota coat is beyond gorgeous. You’ve styled it beautifully! You look stunning dear. You’ve put together such a chic and elegant autumn outfit. Fabulous location as well. All the photographs are so glam and lux….

    You’re absolutely right about rust being flattering, it is definitely one of those shades that can look good on anyone. Thanks for your styling tips. It has never occurred to me to pair rust and blue…but now you’ve said it, I can see how it could work. Gold and rust sounds like a wonderful colour combination as well.

    Have a wonderful weekend beautiful!!!
