When most people talk about capsule wardrobes, they focus on numbers: 30 pieces, 10 items, the perfect 5 outfits. But what really makes a capsule wardrobe work isn't the count, it's the colour story.
This autumn, we're exploring Autumn colouring in seasonal colour analysis. If this is your natural palette, you'll know how much difference the right shades can make: warm, earthy, rich, and effortless.
The Autumn Colour Palette: Your Complete Guide
Building an autumn capsule wardrobe starts with understanding your colour palette. These warm, grounded tones create a cohesive wardrobe that makes getting dressed effortless.
Autumn Wardrobe Neutrals
Camel
Chocolate brown
Warm beige
Cream
Autumn Accent Colours
Salmon pink
Burnt orange
Deep teal
Mustard yellow
Statement Colours for Autumn
Tomato red
Orange
Metallic Accents
Antique gold
Bronze
✨ The pieces may stay the same, but the colours you choose should reflect your natural colouring. That's what makes a capsule wardrobe truly yours.
Why Seasonal Colour Analysis Matters for Your Capsule Wardrobe
We spend around 17 minutes a day deciding what to wear. That's almost 4 full days a year stood in front of the wardrobe, feeling stuck and often settling for "good enough."
A capsule wardrobe can help—but only when it's built around you:
Your body shape
Your seasonal colours
Your lifestyle needs
Without personal styling, capsule wardrobes become just another Pinterest board that looks pretty but leaves you wearing the same 3 outfits on repeat.
That's why seasonal colour palettes are so powerful - they bring wardrobe harmony, make getting dressed easier, and give you a personal style that feels authentically "you."
How to Build an Autumn Capsule Wardrobe
Ready to create your autumn wardrobe? I've pulled together a shoppable capsule wardrobe board to show you how this comes to life. Think of it as a framework: the same capsule structure, but tuned to Autumn's warm, grounded palette.
Capsule Wardrobe Series: All Four Seasonal Palettes
This is the first in a four-part capsule wardrobe series. Each week, I'll build a seasonal capsule wardrobe around one of the colour palettes:
✅ Autumn Capsule Wardrobe (today)
❄️ Winter Capsule Wardrobe (next week)

If you're ready to get unstuck and build a wardrobe that works for your life, that's exactly what I help with through personal styling services, both in-person and online.
Best wishes,
Gigi

Frequently Asked Questions About Autumn Capsule Wardrobes
What is an autumn capsule wardrobe?
An autumn capsule wardrobe is a curated collection of clothing pieces in autumn seasonal colours (warm, earthy tones) that mix and match to create multiple outfits.
How many pieces should be in an autumn capsule wardrobe?
While numbers vary, focus on quality pieces in your autumn colour palette rather than hitting a specific count. Typically 20-40 pieces work well for a seasonal capsule.
What colours suit autumn colour types?
Autumn colour types suit warm, earthy tones including camel, chocolate brown, burnt orange, mustard, deep teal, and warm metallics like bronze and gold.
How do I know if I'm an autumn colour type?
Seasonal colour analysis can determine your colour season. Autumn types typically have warm undertones and look best in rich, earthy colours rather than cool or bright shades.
