Fall has arrived, and that means the pumpkin spice trend has returned! It’s hard to go anywhere during this beautiful season without seeing something advertised as pumpkin spice or mirroring the colors of fall. The influence of pumpkin spice is hard to avoid with its presence in our lattes, candle scents, favorite deserts, and even in fashion!

Now, all joking aside, it is not exactly pumpkin spice that shows up in our wardrobes, but the colors of burnt orange and copper take center stage during fall. It’s no secret that fall is a time of transition. As the leaves turn to richer colors, our wardrobes follow suit.

The richer tone of burnt orange is slightly toned down from our traditional orange, therefore, it is very flattering on most every skin tone. When a copper finish is added to our burnt orange, it creates a glow only worthy of the changing season!

Besides this color scheme being available in practically every piece of clothing imaginable, burnt orange is now trending in accessories—the most popular being handbags, shoes, scarves, and necklaces.

Beyond these add-on items, if you are looking to transition your hair for fall, popular looks include copper highlights, rich brown locks, or going full force redhead! There’s no better time to try out a new look and you will perfectly complement your surroundings of falling leaves!

If you are looking for something even more temporary, try experimenting with copper tones in makeup. Eyeshadow pallets have beautiful designs for that gorgeous fall glow, and even lip gloss can be fun to experiment with some orange in your pout!

All in all, I hope you jump into fall (and maybe even a pile of leaves) as you enjoy the new season!

(P.S. When you get your first pumpkin spice latte, grab one for me too!)

Here’s to Fall!

Stay Classy, Ladies!
