With its relatively muted aesthetic, this neutral palette works well not only for Fall season, but all year round.

Complete this look with accessories like a burnt orange bow tie and a gold pair of cufflinks for a more formal look.
-
Lilac, Burgundy and Hot Pink
How about a combination of a pastel, a rich jewel tone and a trendy autumnal pop of colour? You bet!
Be creative with vibrant and h4 hues like lilac and hot pink that are much loved by millennials.When paired with subdued neutrals, it is a surprisingly flattering colour palette on every skin tone.
While a “full-bodied” colour like burgundy will be ideal to enhance materials like silk, suede and satin for either your pocket square or tie to round up the whole look.
-
Emerald Green, Ivory, and Marigold
The regal and timeless combination of greens and gold have already been making their mark this spring and summer, but expect to see these colours blow up by the time fall rolls around.
