Bright Spot: Tomato Red

This orangey red is full of personality! Just take a look at this rose-print jacket from Tinycottons, or for a more subtle style, try this Stella McCartney cardigan on for size.

Brighten up a winter's day with this joyful shade in everything from dresses to skiwear.

Shop Red Dresses

Wear with warm browns and soft greens; for something fresher, try cream, pink or denim.

A Taste of Tomato

Make way for Tomato Red! Bold, warm and full of personality, this vibrant shade brings a welcome burst of energy to the autumn-winter palette. Less traditional than classic scarlet and brighter than burgundy, it feels fresh, playful and surprisingly versatile, particularly when paired with rich browns, camel, cream or green. 

"Whether worn as a statement or introduced through accessories, a burst of red is guaranteed to brighten their outfit."

The New Neutral: Cocoa Brown

Whether you choose Moncler Enfant's peplum puffer or Ralph Lauren's adoable baby romper, there's a cocoa look for everyone.

Warm without being overly sweet, this shade is set to stay

From deep chocolate to warm caramel, shades of brown feel completely at home when the weather begins to get cosy. It's a colour that works hard with very little effort too. Try it layered with a cream knit or sweater, paired within prints with rust and amber, or worn head to toe for that matchy matchy look.

"These biscuit-coloured Stella McCartney Kids ballet pumps add instant texture to a chocolatey look!"

Jewel of the Season: Kingfisher Teal

Rochy's tweed dress with a touch of pink is the colour pairing we never knew we needed this season! For him, add a splash of cream and dash of navy to let the teal shine.

For him, Kingfisher Teal offers a fresh alternative to classic navy.

Teal Tones for Boys

We love soft teal dresses for every day, or deeper tones for her next party!

Let's Talk About Teal

Shop the Shade

Nature's own jewels make a compelling case to go bold, bright and beautiful this season.

Something magical happens to blue when autumn arrives. It deepens, it richens and suddenly it is one of the season's most important hues! Think stormy skies, deep rockpools and the colour of the sea on a breezy October afternoon. On little ones, teal and blue have a beautiful versatility that makes dressing with them a joy. Pair with warm caramels and creams or you can mix with greens and browns for a palette straight out of an autumn fairytale.

"Pair with chestnut brown for an earthy take or pops of pink and orange for a more playful look."

Natural Neutral: Moss Green

Perhaps the easiest shade to shop, Moss Green comes in all shapes and sizes. From Paloma de la O's knitted collar dress to Ralph Lauren's green sweater, there's lots (and lots!) to discover.

Bring the outdoors in with this beautifully grounded mossy shade.

Shop Moss Green

Pair with dusky pink, cream or burgundy for a feminine feel.

Shop Girl

Think corduroy trousers, quilted jackets, plaid shirts and chunky knits for him

Shop Green Boy

A celebration of nature in its most autumnal form.

Green in autumn is something altogether different from the bright, fresh tones of spring and summer. We love taking our cue from nature and green is a great way to do that. Forest greens, mossy tones or even the colour of ivy climbing an old stone wall, these seasonal shades are everywhere we look. And the best part? They pair wonderfully with so many colours. It's no wonder we'll be seeing green now and all the way through the festive and winter seasons.

"Moss Green works beautifully as a base shade, head-to-toe or in pretty woodland prints."
