Ask A Stylist With Rachel Zoe

As an extension of The Zoe Report's Q&A feature Ask Rachel, each week the celebrity stylist will answer one of your burning fashion questions exclusively for Who What Wear readers!

I'm finding it very difficult to introduce fall's color palette into my wardrobe. I'm stuck in shades of cream, gray, white, and khaki. Please help!

As much as I love my neutrals and keep them on standby in my closet for a quick fix, I'm never afraid to reach for a fabulous color palette. This fall, brace yourself to bedazzle others with an invigorating spectrum of jewel-toned hues! To smoothly introduce said tones into your wardrobe, I recommend picking out a few strong separates first. Rotate your neutral dress pants with an A-line skirt in a colorful watercolor floral print, or for something a little less traditional, try an orange velvet midi skirt with a chevron pattern. Major! To continue your rich color motif, top either of these skirt options with a red charmeuse tie-neck blouse—such a feminine and fun choice! Now, if you really want to make your mark this autumn and the occasion calls for it, don't be afraid to don a solid long sleeve dress in an jaw-dropping fuchsia shade: you'll knock it out of the park. In the outerwear department, you can never go wrong with a leather biker jacket—however, instead of wearing a classic black, try a tan option as it will better complement bold colors.

Last but obviously never least are your accessories! Keep the color momentum going with a color-blocked leather satchel, two-toned skinny belt, and a multi-hued print scarf. Also, a pair of suede platforms in a lovely burgundy hue ensures that your feet also get to sparkle while polishing off your outfit.

Heed some of these eye-catching selects and you are sure to become a prized jewel this fall! xoRZ
