As someone who lives in Mumbai, a city that barely has a week of winter at best, I’m way too invested in fall and spring colour trends. And well, that’s just fashion, and it’s okay, I guess? Come what may, we’ve got to align our wardrobe with the season’s hottest colours, don’t we?
This wardrobe shift is quite a task every year, because there are some colours you just get emotionally attached to. Nonetheless, let’s get to the point, because it’s time to swap your summer shadeswith trending fall 2025 colours — and I’ve got you covered.
7 Fall 2025 colour trends to swap summer shades withSo, let’s dive right into the decoding and see which colour is replacing which one this summer.
1. Burgundy Wine for Barbie Pink
H&m, Etsy
Yes, burgundy is going to be back (not sure if it totally ever left since fall of last year), but while girlies love a good pink, it's time to embrace the darker hues now.
Opt for a rich and elegant fit that oozes statement, or simply style glossy nails in the prettiest of burgundies. Of course, a bold lip colour is the forever vibe for those chic night out looks.
2. Khaki for Lime Green
Chaav, Virgio
I've been fixating on a pretty lime green for a while now, and since I failed to add something green to my wardrobe for fall, I am definitely embracing Khaki for fall.
Embrace earthier shades with khaki or olive, and while they are currently the IT colour, they are also a classic, and will never go out of fashion. Use these styles to add that boss lady vibes, go for bolder prints, and of course, pyjamas and cargo pants fever will only go a notch higher this season.
3. Rust for Hot Coral
Nykaa fashion, Mango
Just last week, I was all about coral pinks because they continue to find their place in everyone's wardrobe and makeup vanities, but it's time to switch things up because rusts and burnt orange are making their way into fall fashion.
Of course, they are in thanks to how they mirror the fall leaves around. Think bags that add a pop of colour, blazers and of course, knitwear, if you may.
4. Navy Blue for Powder Blues
FableStreet, Myntra
This summer saw an increasing trend of old money colours making their way to everyone's wardrobe, and while they look pretty all year round, it's time to switch it up with a more versatile navy blue.
While it's a common colour, it's still a statement pick, so that means you could style them as vests, tailored fits, and all things evening, for that matter. Add drama to your look by pairing it with metallics.
5. Mustard Yellow for Butter Yellow
Etsy, Myntra
Still looking for that perfect butter yellow dress that I love, but I guess I'll just start looking for something mustard, instead.
These will forever be in fashion, and they sort of add a retro charm to contemporary styles, don't they? Style them as leather jackets, fun boots, or even cosy sweaters.
6. Ivory for White
H&M
Neutrals are the perfect vibe for fall 2025, and they are going to be more prevalent this year.
Opt for beige and ivory fits for layering, trousers, or even pair them with burgundy or browns to keep the overall look fall-coded.
7. Dusty Mauve for Lavender
H&M, Myntra
Pastels will now take a backseat, and there are no two ways about it. Colours like plum and dusty mauve will take over the wardrobe, and well, sound perfect for brunches and date nights.
Think satin dresses and shirts, knitwear, or even blazers, for that matter.
