    Getting dressed in the fall has back-to-school energy that always translates to a new wardrobe. Every time the weather cools, I jump at the chance to pick up a few new pieces in one of fall 2024's biggest color trends. This season, I'm stocking up on every shade (on sale!) at J.Crew, Nordstrom, and Banana Republic.

    Fall's color palette somehow feels both familiar and fresh. Summer's red color trend is turning into a darker, deeper shade for the new season—an oxblood hue that feels true to the season. Then there are all variations of green on the rise, from classic olive to Charli XCX's famed brat green hue. Additionally, grey and camel brown, two shades I've always included in my fall work outfits, are now the fashion set's favorite neutrals, alongside soft shades of soft pink and blue. Whether you opt for a brighter option or something more tame, you have nearly endless options this season—on sale, of course.

    Ahead, shop all of these colorful finds and more from the well-stocked sale sections at Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Banana Republic. Rest assured, these 36 pieces, which are all priced at under $300, are easy to style and will have you in the season's most-favored shades. I even included some runway inspiration for you to consider while getting dressed.

    Wine Red

    Tory Burch; Hermes; Gucci

    Models at  Tory Burch, Hermès, and Gucci prove wine red is an all-time favorite fall hue.

    (Image credit: Tory Burch; Hermes; Gucci)

    Wine red is a classic fall shade that I love to wear year after year. Shop it for 2024 by picking up a leather jacket in the shade, a pair of loafers from J.Crew, and a top that proves the peplum trend is back.

    Levi#039;s Oversize Faux Leather Relaxed Jacket

    Levi's Oversize Faux Leather Relaxed Jacket (Was $150)
    $90 AT NORDSTROM

    I'm sure you already have a leather jacket in your closet, but you probably don't have one in this cool red shade. Add this Levi's find to your rotation and instantly look like a fashion girl.

    Wayf Morgan Off The Shoulder Sweater

    Wayf Morgan Off The Shoulder Sweater (Was $89)
    $53 AT NORDSTROM

    Wear this off-the-shoulder sweater to date night for a subtle sexy peek of skin.

    Halogen Sleeveless Peplum Sweater

    Halogen Sleeveless Peplum Sweater (Was $69)
    $41 AT NORDSTROM

    In case you didn't know, the peplum top is back, but the silhouette feels cooler in 2024 than it did in 2010.

    Cole Haan Women#039;s Slick Belted Long Coat

    Cole Haan Women's Slick Belted Long Coat (Was $450)
    $230 AT NORDSTROM

    Come fall and winter, your outerwear is what makes a statement so why not use color to do so? This coat has a timeless wrap style you'll wear for years to come, plus reviewers love how it dresses up any outfit.

    J.Crew Maison Tassel Loafers in Italian Leather

    J.Crew Maison Tassel Loafers in Italian Leather (Were $228)
    $137 AT J.CREW

    The next time you think your outfit is missing something, swap out your black shoes for this elevated pair of loafers. With the pop of color, your look will be far from boring.

    All Things Green

    Ferragamo; Chloe; Gucci;

    Green proves it's going to be everywhere this fall thanks to looks at Ferragamo, Chloè, and Gucci.

    (Image credit: Ferragamo; Chloe; Gucci;)

    Green hues popped up at Ferragamo, Chloè, and Gucci, proving that the shade is going far beyond its bratty summer moniker. Now you can shop cardigans, wide-leg trousers, and a shirt dress in the shade to get you ready for fall.

    Halogen Rib Cardigan

    Halogen Rib Cardigan (Was $89)
    $53 AT NORDSTROM

    This top-rated cardigan comes in plenty of colors—eight to be exact—but this olive green shade feels like your freshest option for fall.

    Bengala Cargo Midi Skirt

    Mango Bengala Cargo Midi Skirt (Was $50)
    $30 AT NORDSTROM

    The addition of cargo pockets and a drawstring waist give this skirt major street-style appeal.

    J.Crew Sailor Slim Wide-Leg Chino Pants

    J.Crew Sailor Slim Wide-Leg Chino Pants (Were $98)
    $85 AT J.CREW

    A relaxed fit and not-too-wide silhouette make these pants a pair you'll want to wear all season long. J.Crew shoppers say they're soft and comfortable, too.

    J.Crew Cinched-Waist Utility Dress in Stretch Chino

    J.Crew Cinched-Waist Utility Dress in Stretch Chino (Was $178)
    $90 AT J.CREW

    Throw this dress on with a pair of slingback heels, and you've got an easy and trendy fall work outfit. It's just as easy to dress down, too, with your favorite sneakers or combat boots.

    Banana Republic Crinkle Halter Top

    Banana Republic Crinkle Halter Top (Was $110)
    $70 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    Don't pass this off as a mere summer top. You can still get plenty of wear out of it now under all of your fall jackets and coats. It would look especially elegant paired with wide-legged denim and a blazer.

    Banana Republic Avila Barrel-Leg Pants

    Banana Republic Avila Barrel-Leg Pants (Were $120)
    $71 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    Take after Katie Holmes and opt for barrel-leg jeans (or pants!) for fall. They have a rounded shape that's chic and a lot easier to pull off than you may think. Holmes wore hers with ballet flats and a button-down shirt, in case you need inspiration.

    Corporate Gray

    Alberta Ferretti; Brandon Maxwell; Stella McCartney

    Gray has gone beyond the C-Suite this season—just ask Alberta Ferretti, Brandon Maxwell, and Stella McCartney.

    (Image credit: Alberta Ferretti; Brandon Maxwell; Stella-Mccartney)

    Gray might seem like it's only good for the office, but designers show that it can (and should!)) be worn on your out-of-office days, too. Shop a cropped shacket perfect for your layered outfits, a pair of straight-leg trousers that are so classic, and more.

    Treasure amp;amp; Bond Marled Long Sleeve Sweater Dress

    Treasure Bond Marled Long Sleeve Sweater Dress (Was $119)
    $58 AT NORDSTROM

    Pair this sweater dress with knee-high boots and you've got a winning fall outfit formula every time. You'll look and feel put together together with zero effort required.

    Nordstrom Straight Leg Pants

    Nordstrom Straight Leg Pants (Were $129)
    $84 AT NORDSTROM

    Sure, these pants are obviously a great fit for the office but they work for plenty of other occasions, too. Pair them with pointed-toe heels and a corset top and you've got a fashion-forward going-out outfit on your hands.

    J.Crew Cropped Fringe-Trim Lady Jacket in Marled Yarn

    J.Crew Cropped Fringe-Trim Lady Jacket in Marled Yarn (Was $138)
    $110 AT J.CREW

    J.Crew's Lady Jackets are iconic, and now's your chance to snag a cool style on sale. This short-sleeve version is ideal for these in-between months when the weather isn't too hot or cold.

    J.Crew Wide-Leg Trouser in Four-Season Stretch

    J.Crew Wide-Leg Trouser in Four-Season Stretch (Was $148)
    $110 AT J.CREW

    Trust me, you'll want to wear these pants everywhere this season, whether to brunch with a cropped tee and sneakers or to work with a blazer and heels.

    Banana Republic Siena Relaxed Italian Wool Blazer

    Banana Republic Siena Relaxed Italian Wool Blazer (Was $260)
    $120 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    Speaking of, this is a blazer you won't ever want to get rid of. It's made from luxe Italian wool and features a relaxed fit, instantly elevating anything you wear underneath it.

    Banana Republic Perle Cashmere Poncho

    Banana Republic Perle Cashmere Poncho (Was $240)
    $120 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    This poncho is easy to throw over anything you have on and will make it look like you spent hours sandwiching your tops. Did I mention it's 100 percent cashmere?

    Classic Camel

    Ralph Lauren; Miu MIu; Burberry

    Classic brands like Ralph Lauren and Burberry showed wearable tan looks alongside playful options at Miu Miu.

    (Image credit: Ralph Laurenl Miu MIu; Burberry)

    These aren't the camel pieces your mom and grandma relied on. The shade has been made modern again in the form of cargo pants, a classic trench coat (it's a must!) and plenty of cozy sweaters.

    Sam Edelman Wool Blend Wrap Coat

    Sam Edelman Wool Blend Wrap Coat (Was $240)
    $150 AT NORDSTROM

    Winter may seem far away, but it will be here before you know it. Get ahead of the season with this on-sale coat in the dreamiest camel shade.

    Cotton Twill Utility Jacket

    Wit Wisdom Cotton Twill Utility Jacket (Was $98)
    $49 AT NORDSTROM

    While not an exact match, this under-$100 jacket is an affordable take on the barn jacket trend celebrities have been wearing non-stop in recent months.

    J.Crew Cardigan Sweater in TENCELamp;trade;-Lyocell

    J.Crew Cardigan Sweater in TENCEL™-Lyocell (Was $118)
    $100 AT J.CREW

    J.Crew has plenty of knits in its sale offering but this one has nearly all five-star ratings. Reviewers say it's a great weight for multiple seasons.

    Banana Republic Fern Linen-Blend Raglan Sweater

    Banana Republic Fern Linen-Blend Raglan Sweater (Was $80)
    $65 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    This linen-blend sweater is lightweight and oh-so-soft. It makes for the perfect transitional sweater or an even better one to tie over your coat, as all the cool fashion insiders do nowadays.

    Banana Republic Slim Refined Stretch Cargo Pants

    Banana Republic Slim Refined Stretch Cargo Pants (Were $120)
    $70 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    When you inevitably get tired of jeans, turn to these cargo pants instead. They have a more elevated take on the cool-girl style.

    Soft Pink

    Stella McCartney; Bottega Veneta; Prada

    Blushing pink was popular at Stella McCartney, Bottega Veneta, and Prada, where gowns were covered in bows.

    (Image credit: Stella-Mccartney; Bottega Veneta; Prada)

    Baby pink is anything but childish this season. 3D bows at Prada might seem unserious, but fur-lined jackets and matching suits at Stella McCartney and Bottega Veneta show that the shade works in your adult wardrobe.

    Treasure amp;amp; Bond Relaxed Turtleneck Cotton Blend Sweater

    Treasure Bond Relaxed Turtleneck Cotton Blend Sweater (Was $80)
    $48 AT NORDSTROM

    A turtleneck sweater is always a must-have come fall. While you're sure to have neutral black and white in your knitwear collection already, pick up this baby pink shade for a chic option.

    Vince Silk Blend Polo Shirt

    Vince Silk Blend Polo Shirt (Was $395)
    $237 AT NORDSTROM

    Even though this top is in a trending shade, you can keep it in your closet forever. It's made of a luxurious silk blend that reviewers say is worth the investment.

    J.Crew Relaxed Patch-Pocket Blazer in Cotton Blend

    J.Crew Relaxed Patch-Pocket Blazer in Cotton Blend (Was $248)
    $123 AT J.CREW

    Fall might be here, but now's the perfect time to don a linen blazer. The weather can change in a minute, and a lightweight blazer like this is a safe bet for looking and staying cool.

    J.Crew Carolyn Fitted Crewneck Sweater in Merino Wool

    J.Crew Carolyn Fitted Crewneck Sweater in Merino Wool (Was $90)
    $65 AT J.CREW

    With a slim fit and lightweight feel, this sweater will be a hero piece in your layering outfits. Wear it now on its own, then wear it under coats, jackets, and other knits once winter comes.

    Banana Republic Nickola Pebbled Leather Sneakers

    Banana Republic Nickola Pebbled Leather Sneakers (Were $120)
    $95 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    These pale pink sneakers could easily work as fun neutral footwear when you want to switch things up. They have a sleek, minimalist silhouette with a breathable sweat-wicking footbed for all-day comfort.

    Banana Republic Hemp-Cotton Cropped Shirt

    Banana Republic Hemp-Cotton Cropped Shirt (Was $120)
    $40 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    I could think of a thousand different ways to layer this fun cropped shirt. Personally, I would wear it with bermuda shorts and a ribbed tank.

    Sky Blue

    Tibi; Miu Miu; Bally

    Tibi, Bally, and Miu Miu proved that blue can (and should!) work for the fall season ahead.

    (Image credit: Tibi; Miu Miu; Bally)

    Find your own "something blue" this season with a draped top from Topshop, a maxi dress from Banana Republic, and a sweater from J.Crew that mimics the knit look on the runway at Tibi.

    Topshop Ruched Sleeveless Top

    Topshop Ruched Sleeveless Top (Was $48)
    $24 AT NORDSTROM

    This Topshop top masters the draped clothing trend in a trendy shade.

    Halogen Rib Mock Neck Top

    Halogen Rib Mock Neck Top (Was $79)
    $50 AT NORDSTROM

    Not only is the color of this top so pretty, but its ribbed knit and higher neckline make it a more elevated option than a T-shirt.

    J.Crew Crewneck Cardigan Sweater in Premium Ultrafine Cotton

    J.Crew Crewneck Cardigan Sweater in Premium Ultrafine Cotton (Was $90)
    $65 AT J.CREW

    Cardigans are currently having a moment among the fashion set and I suspect they're only going to grow in popularity during fall. Grab this cozy find while it's still in stock and in sale.

    J.Crew Short-Sleeve Keyhole Sweater in Merino Wool Blend

    J.Crew Short-Sleeve Keyhole Sweater in Merino Wool Blend (Was $90)
    $65 AT J.CREW

    Any chance you can add an elevated basic to your wardrobe on sale, you should take it. This top has the fit of a tee, the look of a polo, and the feel of a sweater so you'll get plenty of wear out of it.

    Banana Republic Cruz Poplin Maxi Dress

    Banana Republic Cruz Poplin Maxi Dress (Was $160)
    $110 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    The next time you don't know what to wear, throw this dress on and call it a day. It works for nearly any season or occasion with a simple change of shoes and bag.

    Banana Republic The Perfect Linen Shirt (Was $90)
    $70 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    You can never have too many button-down shirts in your closet—they're a wardrobe staple for a reason. Grab this pick for a fresh new shade in your rotation and wear it all year long.
