One of the easiest ways to invigorate your wardrobe this season (or any season!) is by adding a fresh touch of color to your outfits. Color theory happens to be my favorite subject, and today, I’m going to dive into the color combinations that work particularly well together and are dominating among the fashion set this season.
No surprise, chocolate brown and maroonare having a major moment right now—two shades that create visual depth when styled side by side. Another color that looks amazing with dark brown? Zesty lime green—a hue we spotted on the fall runways from Miu Miu to Prada—guaranteed to enliven any ensemble this season. Unexpected delicate pale pink hues are also in the fashion spotlight—a shade that works particularly well with caramel and tan tones.
If you’re curious about what color combos the fashion set are gravitating to this season then keep scrolling below, and shop our favorite pieces to lean into the color trends.
Maroon and Chocolate Brown
Rich, dark brown hues are everywhere this season—and as you’ll see from this article—it’s being paired with a whole host of chic color trends this fall. For a look that oozes classy vibes pair it with a rich maroon/burgundy hue—two shades that live in the same warm family that create visual depth when styled side by side. Opt for a maroon bag or boots to pair with a dark brown blazer or skirt. The options are endless.

Throw out the outdated rule that navy and black are a fashion faux pas. For fall 2025, it’s all about seamlessly wearing these two perennially chic and classic colors together. We’ve spotted the combo on celebs like Zoe Kravitz (matching with Harry Styles!) along with a whole host of fashion people. Try styling a pair of black wide-leg trousers with a navy tee or V-neck sweater for a look that feels fresh and interesting.
