As the weather begins to cool and subtle autumnal colors appear in the canopies of trees, it’s time to swap the summer styles for fall fashion pieces. Whether your wardrobe could use an update or you’re searching for styles that make you feel confident and fabulous, finding your perfect color palette may be the solution.
Alyce Bixby’s journey toward becoming a certified stylist began early in life.
“My mother had a professional color analysis when I was about 11,” she shares, “and I watched the confidence it gave her for years afterward. Seeing that made a lasting impression on me.”
With 30 years of experience in the beauty industry, Alyce’s move to open House of Colour Weatherford was more than a business venture. It offered the chance to truly impact lives.
“What I love most about my work at House of Colour isn't the clothes and fashion—though that is fun as it's ever-changing—it's the people,” Alyce emphasizes. “The greatest joy is watching someone see themselves differently.”
Trends this season point towards simple elegance through pieces that are easy to style and comfortable to wear. Rather than sticking with familiar colors, fabrics, and textures, clients are encouraged to find the styles that suit them individually.
For the fall season, aside from the traditionally warm, autumnal tones— like plum wine, rosy brown, and foundational neutrals—seasonal color trends will depend on individual palettes. For those who pair well with warmer colors—springs and autumns—moss green, mint, and lime may be lighter choices. Winters and summers, too, may choose brighter shades like misty blue, rose, or lavender. These lighter options steer wardrobes away from exclusively dark shades and give clients options for a varied, fresh look.
Textures also play a role. A piece made from soft velvet, tweed, suede, or faux fur provides another dimension to outfits. Accents such as pearl details and statement buttons make any look feel polished and sophisticated. Coats, capes, and ponchos offer more than warmth. These outerwear selections act as central statement pieces, pulling styles together.
As for the trends Alyce is most excited to see this season, “I do love the deep shades of plums and teal paired with lighter neutrals,” she says. “But also some of the softer brights that still bring some femininity to the season. Brooches, button covers, pearls, the softer lined pencil skirts and peplums are among my personal favorites. It's all the little details that add interest!”
House of Colour Weatherford partners with local boutiques like Queen B Boutique and Designs, Ernest & Alice, and Hello by Lauren. These boutiques carry seasonal styles and shades that pair perfectly with current style trends and Alyce’s color analyses, making it easy for clients to shop with confidence.
