Teal tones

Black, gray, camel: autumn has its go-to colors. But this autumn, your outfit could use a little color. Teal is the trend color of the moment. It’s a deep mix of blue and green, also known as petrol. The color is rich enough for the colder months and fresh enough to stand out on a gray day. Will you go for a complete teal look or stick to one statement item? We’ll show you where the color comes from and how to wear it, from a small accent to head-to-toe.

Teal is a deep blue-green color, somewhere between petrol blue and emerald green. The name comes from the English word for the common teal, a small duck with a blue-green stripe along its head. That is also where the Dutch name eendenblauw comes from. Trend forecasters have already declared teal the color of 2026, and you can now see it everywhere: in soft knits, satin, co-ords, and accessories.

And why now? After seasons filled with beige, brown, and black, we want color again, but a color you can actually wear on a normal day. Teal is perfect for that. The color is deep enough for fall and winter, but has more energy than navy blue or black. That makes teal perfect as the basis of your outfit: it pairs easily with black, white, gray, brown, and denim. 

Does teal still feel a little intimidating, and would you rather ease into it? Choose one teal item and keep the rest of your outfit neutral. A teal sweater with black pants is just enough. Finish your look with your favorite accessories, and it’s a vibe.

For a casual look, pair a teal top with light wide-leg jeans. Denim blue with blue-green is a tone-on-tone combination that looks fresh and is still very easy to wear. Add sneakers or ballet flats, pair them with a crossbody bag, and you have a comfortable yet stylish outfit. 

Want to incorporate teal into an outfit for an occasion that calls for a little more effort? Choose a teal top with an asymmetrical effect, and wear it with black jeans with wide legs. A black shoulder bag and gold jewelry make the whole look a little more chic. Teal and black are a combination that always works: sleek, with just that little something extra.

If you want to make more of a statement, go head-to-toe in teal. A teal co-ord set gives you a complete look in one go, without requiring much effort. Want to take it a step further? Pair teal with chocolate brown or burgundy for a warm color combination. Or mix different textures in teal, such as a knitted knit with satin. Bold, but never too much.

Teal is the color this autumn that gives your outfit that little something extra. It stands out enough to make a difference, yet it’s easy enough to wear every day. Whether you start with one item or go straight for a complete co-ord look: with teal, you can’t go wrong this fall and winter. Reason enough to add it to your cart, right?
