The perfect earth tones for Fall

If 2021 will truly be the year of essentials, this return to a minimal aesthetic passes above all through the nuances of the garments that will populate our wardrobes this autumn. After years dominated by huge logos, loud graphics and over-the-top patterns, the rediscovery of a more essential, clean, sophisticated imagery, is made up above all of the simple and clean silhouettes in the shades of earth tones, both warm and cold.

However, this is not something completely new, especially in the streetwear world, whose most famous brands have made the shades of the earth their strong point. Kanye West, starting from YEEZY Season 6, has made earth tones the symbols of his imagination, especially in connection with the concept of basic; Aimé Leon Dore, also in its collaboration with New Balance, prefers basic shades, interspersed from time to time by colored accents; Stussy chose a warm beige for his latest collaboration with Birkenstock; Carhartt has always believed in colors ranging from beige to brown to the purest orange; while JJJJound made colder earth tones its hallmark, both for the collaborations with other brands, see the latest with Reebok, and for the items designed for the home.

And it is precisely within the walls of home that the earth tones perfectly enclose an aesthetic linked to slow living, a lifestyle rediscovered during the lockdown months. The warmer tones of the earth shades make the environment welcoming and cozy, while not giving up their more design-oriented vocation, as happens in the Camaleonda modular sofa designed by Mario Bellini or in the Cesca Chair by Knoll, a true icon, up to pottery by Jade Paton.
