Autumn, also called Fall, is one of the four temperate seasons. Its related status as the season of the primary harvest has dominated its themes and popular images. Popular aspects of this aesthetic includes fruits, falling leaves, pumpkins, coats, and harvest holidays. It can also be a reference to autumn fashion styles.

Visuals[]

Autumn visuals include:

  • Orange, yellow, red, and brown leaves
  • Cold and murky weather, like cloudy, foggy, or rainy weather
  • Dark weather, because of the shorter days
  • Warm spiced drinks
  • Warm clothing, especially knitted garments
  • Holiday decorations such as Halloween, thanksgiving, Diwali, harvest festivals, etc.
  • Autumnal fruits and vegetables such as gourds (pumpkins), apples, and cranberries
  • Candles, lanterns, and fairy lights
  • Nature trails
  • Tea
  • A warm and cozy place
  • Warm or neutral colors
  • Hedgehogs carrying leaves or fruits (Europe-only)

Fashion[]

Autumn aesthetic fashion embraces the cozy and warm elements of the season, drawing inspiration from nature's vibrant hues and the changing leaves. It often includes earthy tones such as rich browns, warm oranges, deep reds, and mustard yellows. Layering is a key component, with oversized sweaters, scarves, and cardigans paired with leggings, jeans, or skirts. Fabrics like flannel, wool, and knits add texture and comfort to outfits. Vintage style clothing is also often incorporated. Accessories such as beanies, boots, and chunky socks complete the look, creating a sense of coziness and embracing the spirit of fall.

Accessories also include belts (usually in brown or black), purses (often cross-body bags), flowers, mugs, glasses, books, cameras, and necklaces. The aesthetic could involve hygge, full pantries, baking pumpkin bread or the less dark aspects of decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving and other autumn festivals and holidays.
