This Parisian Wears Color 300 Days a Year—Here Are Her Top Fall Trends

by Erin Fitzpatrick

I follow different Instagram accounts for different reasons: Anouk Yve for minimalist outfits, Kelly Talamas for up-and-coming brands, and Madelynn Furlong for interior inspiration. When it comes to tips on how to wear color, I go straight to Ellie, a.k.a @slipintostyle. The Paris-based influencer always wears the most joyful, vibrant outfits and isn't afraid to experiment with color. (And yes, the French backdrops certainly don't hurt, either.) Y

Her Instagram feed is an explosion of color: reds, pinks, blues, yellows, and more. You'll hardly find any black outfits on her feed, but if she does wear the classic color, it's always livened up with interesting details like fringe or ruching. In other words, her pictures are never boring. Considering her expertise, I wanted to ask Ellie about her favorite color trends for fall—scroll down to read about them and shop the hues.

"Burnt orange is the perfect color for fall as it reminds me of autumn leaves and it’s a staple in my fall wardrobe. I tend to avoid an all orange look and love to pair it with olive, brown or even lilac for a more unexpected pairing." —@slipintostyle
