We’ve settled well into fall, and that means we’ve already fully embraced the cooler weather, cozy layers and pumpkin everything. With all of that comes a whole new season of style! Whether you’re gearing up for a fall retreat or you’re planning custom fall apparel for your organization, there’s plenty of inspiration to go around. Let’s look at what’s trending:
Warm, Earthy Colors and Soft Tones Are Having Their Moment
What’s the first thing you think of when you picture fall fashion? Those classic warm, earthy colors and soft, cozy tones of course! This season, warm neutrals, earth tones, soft colorways and a few familiar favorites are taking center stage:
Light cream and vintage white: Creamy, classic and basically the foundation of custom fall apparel, these shades of white work beautifully with nearly any design and are popular across tees, long sleeves, hoodies and crewnecks.
- Espresso yourself (see what we did there?): Dark, rich browns and chocolate shades are here to stay. They pair perfectly with those light creams and vintage whites, creating a combination that’s equal parts hot cocoa, equal parts stylish.
- A touch of blue, a touch of green: This year, it’s all about muted colorways, with soft indigo and sage being fan favorites. They’re understated choices that give a relaxed and laid-back vibe.
- Classics that never go out of style: Of course we can’t forget our timeless colors, navy, forest green and burgundy. They’re classic and versatile, making perfect base colors. Whether you’re leaning toward something minimal and understated or bold and striking, these shades are always ready for their fall close-up.
Picturesque Prints, Patterns & Personality 📷
Color sets the mood, and the graphics and typography bring the vision to life! Throwback-
inspired looks and clean, minimalist prints are totally in this season. It’s all about finding the right balance of personality and simplicity for your custom fall apparel.
- Camo is in the game: Camo comes and goes in terms of t-shirt trends, but this fall, it’s back with a vengeance. Simple graphics and typography work well here, letting the camouflage pattern do most of the talking.
- Throwback all day: Vintage and retro designs are all the rage right now. Think distressed designs and nostalgic vibes. They bring the comfort and coziness we’re all looking for in the fall.
- Less is more: Sometimes the simplest designs make the biggest impressions. It’s certainly true this fall, making it the perfect time to consider minimalist graphics and understated prints for your fall t-shirts and apparel.
- Fonts and typography that speak: Words aren’t the only thing that say something on your shirts. Font family and typography often speak the loudest. For a fall design, bold collegiate lettering, classic serif fonts, flowy scripts and block lettering bring cool style to the cool weather.
Cozy Always Looks Good on You
When it comes to fall fashion trends, comfort matters just as much as being selfie-ready. Thankfully, some of this season’s most popular apparel trends check both boxes!
- Comfort Colors craze: There’s a reason people keep coming back to Comfort Colors tees. Known for their pigment-dyed garments, vintage-looking colors and boxy fit, these t-shirts are relaxed and comfortable—ideal for fall.
- Layer Up, Buttercup: Don’t stop at t-shirts for fall retreats or events. Make sure to layer up with custom long-sleeve tees, crewnecks, hoodies and beanies to stay warm and stylish all season long. It’s practicality in the most fashion-forward way.
Don’t Get Cold Feet! Look Ahead to Winter ❄️
Don’t get cold feet on your winter designs by focusing only on fall (or forgetting to wear your fuzzy socks, LOL)! As you finalize your fall designs and enjoy limited-time sales (hint, hint), start thinking about the vision for your custom winter apparel. Many of the fall trends we’re seeing will carry beautifully into the colder months, so you don’t have to relearn everything we just taught you. Hoodies and crewnecks will definitely be the move, and warm creams and muted colorways will still be the top choice. If you’re planning an event or need winter retreat t-shirts, get a head start by checking out our customizable winter t-shirt templates. 😉
