How to wear it

Autumns with warm brown hair often default to neutrals because they're afraid of the bright palette. The trick: the autumn family is muted, rich, so you can wear saturated color without it overwhelming you. Start with one bright top + a #A98A5C bottom and watch what people compliment.
