Change is in the air as the leaves turn and the weather cools, signaling the transition from breezy summer styles to warm, layered fall looks. Every outfit is complete, however, with a perfect manicure!
The nail shade can elevate your fall fashion and tie your look together. In this guide, we’ll discuss the best nail shades to pair with your favorite autumn pieces so you can step out in style all season long.
1. Rich Neutrals for Cozy Knits
Fall is the season of chunky sweaters and cozy knits; nothing complements them better than earthy neutral nail colors.
Imagine colors such as warm taupe, soft beige, or dusty rose. These colors give your knitwear a sophisticated impression and go absolutely well with the textures of the season.

Style Pairing: Match these soft, warm neutrals with oversized cardigans, cable-knit sweaters, and high-waisted jeans for a polished yet comfortable fall look.
2. Moody Reds for Leather and Denim
Autumn fashion calls for timeless staples like leather jackets and dark denim. Moody red nail polishes are a must.
Burgundy, wine, and deep cherry shades evoke the richness of fall and add a sultry pop of color to any outfit.

3. Deep Greens for Plaid and Flannels
No fall is without plaid flannels and deep green nails to complement these casual, rustic styles. Forest green, olive and emerald shades capture the best of the season and bring a little outdoors in.
Try:
- Essie Off Tropic-darkest, leafy green
- Zoya’s Hunter-deep forest green

Style Pairing: These deep greens look amazing with a favorite flannel shirt, leggings, and combat boots, creating an effortlessly cool look for weekend outings or cozy nights by the fire.
4. Burnt Oranges and Mustards for Fall Dresses
Warm-toned mustard, rust, and terracotta autumnal dresses are a wardrobe must-have. When paired with these warm tones, burnt orange, caramel, or copper-toned nail polishes will make you look monochromatic and well put together.
Nail Shades to Try:
- Essie’s Playing Koi, a spiced orange
- OPI’s It’s a Piazza Cake, a burnt orange
- Zoya’s Cinnamon, a metallic bronze
Style Pairing: The warmth in tone brings these nailed ideas stunningly into midi dresses, tights, and ankle boots. Add a wide-brimmed hat and scarf, and you’re ready for those apple-picking or pumpkin-patch visits, baby.
5. Dark and Stormy for Tailored Coats and Blazers
Impeccable coats, blazers, and structured silhouettes will epitomize sophisticated fall dressing.
Keep it dark and stormy; deep navy, charcoal gray, and inky black nail shades will add mystery and elegance to your outfit.
Nail Shades to Try:
- Chanel’s Black Satin—a classic glossy black
- OPI’s Russian Navy—a dark navy with shimmer
- Essie’s Smokin’ Hot—a sultry grayish-purple
Style Pairing: Whether you’re heading to work or dinner in the evening, these dramatic colors pair well with structured blazers, pencil skirts, and wool coats. Add a statement bag, and you’ll have an effortlessly sleek silhouette.
6. Metallics for Special Occasions
Fall is full of special events, from Turkey Day dinner gatherings to holiday parties, and metallic nails are just the thing that adds a little glamour. Gold, silver, and rose-gold polishes can easily make any outfit feel fancy without being over the top.
Try these nail shades:
- Pennies talk from the Essie: a metallic copper
- Butter London’s Gold Dust: a shimmering gold
- Trixie by Zoya: a sparkling silver
Style Match: Metallic nails will be the perfect finishing touch for everything from a little black dress to a sequined top and an ultra-chic jumpsuit. Pair that with treasured jewelry, and you’ll be sparkling head to toe.
Tips for Fall Nails
Matte Finishes: Top up your look with top coats in your favorite colors. Matte finishes give off that fantastic feeling of fluffiness and softness inside.
Accent Nails: Accent nails painted in metallic or glittery colors against a more subdued manicure will make it much fun. It is easy as pie but a great way to break the rules of underemphasizing your nails.
Seasonal nail art: If you feel inspired, little pumpkins, fall leaves, or plaid designs can be an excellent way to celebrate fall.
