Longing to wear all of my pretty dresses with a lack of places to go recently, I was excited to stumble across a sunflower field just a short drive away from my mom’s house. I knew my coral Fiona Gal Meets Glam dress would make the perfect complement to the warm yellow color of the flowers. While my coral outfit went as planned, the weather did not, haha. As the sky slowly darkened and the air started to cool, I was reminded that there was more on the way than just rain and that fall will be here soon, too. That got me brainstorming about summer to fall outfit ideas!

How to Wear Coral
I’ve been styling this coral maxi all summer and it’s a dress I’m looking forward to styling under fall layers, too. Personally, I don’t think this color gets enough recognition for its versatility because there are so many ways to wear coral. A cozy coral sweater with jeans or coral denim jacket over a black dress/jumpsuit can add an appropriate (and often needed) touch of delight to outfits in the fall and winter.
One of the best things about coral is that it’s a universally flattering color and there’s a shade out there that will look great on every skin tone. Plus, it’s easy to accessorize something like a coral dress because the color says so much on its own. Just add a pair of stud earrings to elevate the look.
What colors to wear with coral:
The vibrant, lively look of coral looks well-balanced with earth tones and all shades of blue. When considering colors that look good with coral, envision options like navy, olive, brown, black, and anything denim blue. And, because of its versatility and the array of other colors it can be paired with, the answer to, “can you wear coral in the winter?” is 100% yes!
Here are a few good coral outfit ideas to work this gorgeous shade into your wardrobe any time of year:
Look 1:
Play up the contrast with a flirty midi skirt and an edgy moto jacket. The coral and brown tones make for an especially well-styled and well-timed look for the weeks where summer and fall collide.
Look 2:
Add a denim jacket (my favorite denim jackets are from Liverpool) over any summery coral maxi dress to instantly create a fall-ready outfit. Other coral dress outfit ideas are to add a beige cardigan on top or throw on a chambray button down (left unbuttoned) on top for a lighter layer.
Look 3:
Cozy sweaters in bright, vibrant colors allow you told onto the moments of summer while also embracing the coziness of fall. Also, I can’t get enough of these high rise vintage-inspired jeans.
Look 4:
Adding layers – from chic blazers to cozy cardigans – allows you to integrate jumpsuits into your wardrobe all year look.
Look 5:
Bright pants can be intimidating, but if you’re wondering what color goes with coral pants, opt for anything in blue!
Look 6:
Long sleeve dresses are one of my favorite pieces to kiss summer goodbye in. This unique long sleeve coral maxi dress offers a touch of both wander and retro to take on the day in style.
