WHAT’S HOT?
Fall’s Hottest Colors Are Here!
Dear Hot Friends,
Lately, I’ve had color on the brain — and honestly, who could blame me? Last weekend was peak leaf-peeping season here in New York City, and everywhere we turned was another jaw-dropping tree showing off. We spotted fiery red maples, deep burgundy sweetgums, rich chocolatey dogwoods, and my forever favorite: those magical golden ginkgo leaves. Truly breathtaking.
So is it any surprise that fall’s hottest color trends for 2025 echo all these gorgeous shades? Below are the top 5 colors of the season, a few pieces I’m loving in each, and of course, what’s on House of Terrance right now that pairs beautifully with them.
Ferragamo, Victoria Beckham, Prada.
1. Wine O’Clock
Burgundy is the breakout color of 2025 — a rich bordeaux-merlot hybrid that feels equal parts elegant and bold. It’s stunning with gold jewelry and luxurious leather pieces, and it instantly elevates anything you pair it with.
Cos Burgundy Sweater $229
Max Marra, Saint Laurent, Elie Saab
2. Brown Is Still the New Black
Rich chocolate brown continues its reign. This warm neutral works head-to-toe or as the grounding piece in a colorful look. Pantone’s Color of the Year, “Mocha Mousse,” really nailed our collective brown obsession.
Zara Brown Feather Jaket $129
Victoria Beckham, Sacai, Ferragamo
3. Chili Pepper Red
A little spicy, a little confidence-boosting, and always stylish. There’s truly nothing more useful in a wardrobe than a great red dress — easy to tone down with layers or dress up with bold accessories for a dramatic moment.
Banana Republic Factory $50
Gabriella Hearts, Prada, Etro
4. Colonel Mustard in the Library with a Candlestick
Mustard gold is officially having a moment. It’s the fall-ready evolution of summer’s soft butter yellow — richer, bolder, and perfect in everything from leather jackets to midi skirts. It pairs beautifully with neutrals, too.
Shopbob Aligne Jacket $172
Albert Ferretti, Badgley Mischka, Dries
5. Cobalt Blue
After years off the trend radar, cobalt is suddenly everywhere — and it feels fresh again. If you’re hesitant, start small: bags, shoes, belts, or jewelry are the perfect low-commitment way to play with the shade.
H&M Cobalt Blue Blouse $39.99
Enjoy these last days of fabulous fall!
