As we officially begin the transition into Fall fashion in these coming weeks, we’re already seeing some exciting color palettes being played with.

Scroll through to discover the Pantones beginning to dominate for Women and Men this season & our stylists’ takes on how they’d style the shades.

Plus, our FRAME x SIMKHAI Trunk Show is now OPEN to the public to make appointments – more details at the end!


Women’s Trend:

Bold Color Pops Paired Back to Earthy Browns


Cobalt Blue

Pantone: 2735 C

Why Candace Loves It:

Bold and electric is the best way to describe the hue of blue that is trending this season.

The depth of this color can be a bit intimidating pending what your skin tone and general comfortability with color.

With that in mind, we like the idea of adding this shade of blue by way of accessories. You get the pop punchy without feeling consumed by the color in totality!

For this look, we focused on opting for those ever classic neutral colors: white, grey and black.

And, of course, a touch of chocolate brown to bring some additional warmth and a dose of intentional color construct to juxtapose the indigo blue!


Apple Red

Pantone: 200 C

Why Christine Loves It:

We are blushing over one of this season’s hottest hues!

Red is a powerful, attention grabbing color, so don’t shy away from wearing it.

Pair red with neutrals like grays, browns, or ivory for a balanced, chic look.

If red overwhelms you, incorporating accessories (belts, scarves, bags) are a great way to add splashes of color for a more subtle look.

Whatever look you choose, wear red boldly and confidently!

Tuscan Yellow

Pantone: 0131 C

Why Ben Loves It:

This pop of yellow shines as it’s paired back to a myriad of brown tones, creating a sophisticated look for the working woman.

The cozy wool/cashmere funnel neck sweater can easily transition to a more relaxed weekend vibe when paired with jeans and sneakers.

I love how the warmth of the yellow brings energy to the neutral base; it feels modern but approachable!

It’s the perfect blend of polish and comfort for any occasion.

Pear Green

Pantone: 383 C

Why Whit Loves It:

Green is typically a color we associate with spring, but when paired back to earth tones feels much more fall forward!

I love this sweater because you can wear it from day to night!

When paired with a matching bag and color blocked back to chocolate leather pants and barely-there heels it’s an effortless look for date night or dinner.

If drama isn’t your style, think monochromatic: the army green trench and sneakers make this look casual and comfy but still polished.

Whit’s Look:


Men’s Trend:

Timeless Terrain Tones


Rich Brown

Pantone: 7533 C

Why Ben Loves It:

The color of Fall! In Ohio, fall style is all about layering — it stays warm well into the season before slowly shifting to colder days.

For a transitional look, I’d start with the dark brown sweater as the foundation, paired with tailored trousers and a sport coat.

The dark brown boots tie back to the sweater, creating a cohesive, grounded base while drawing the eye downward.

As the temperature dips, swap in a blue dress shirt under the sweater for added depth, leaving the sport coat behind for a more relaxed feel. Once winter settles in, bring the sport coat back into the mix and layer all three pieces for both warmth and a polished finish.
