I’ve designed these outfits to showcase different ways to wear your most flattering colors while celebrating your curves with subtle sophistication.
I. Soft Foundation Pieces
These outfits build on soft autumn neutrals that form the foundation of your wardrobe.

A soft mauve or rose brown knit dress in a simple silhouette provides the perfect canvas for your autumn wardrobe. The muted warm tone enhances your complexion without overwhelming your natural softness. Layer with a cream cardigan and add delicate gold jewelry.

Soft Autumn is the perfect season to play with subtle textures that add dimension without contrast.

Emily’s Pro Tips for Soft Autumn Style Success
- Test Colors in Natural Light: Soft Autumn colors can look different under artificial lighting. Always check how colors look near your face in natural light.
