Steel grey, sandy beige, cool ivory - barely-there tones make an appearance, too, mainly in casual wear in natural fibers. Mix up textures; pair a shiny silk camisole with a bulky cardigan or rough twill trousers; wear a soft cardigan with a tough, studded belt or big zipper. Fading in neutral colors can be even more noticeable, however, so be sure to give these items the Tide TOTALCAREamp#153; treatment, which helps preserve color when washing.

Earth Mamas, you'll love the russets, rich browns and dark greens this fall, on everything from chunky sweaters to long shorts. Mix and match them, or wear a single color in many ways for a body-lengthening, artsy look. Remember when washing to keep similar rich colors together, lest they run on to their pastel sisters.
