Each season we pick a small group of colors to lead the new pieces. This fall it is Olive, Rust and Burgundy: three warm, deep shades that work with our core neutrals and look right as the mornings get darker.
Where the palette came from
We start every season the same way, by looking out of the window. In St. Petersburg, fall is not dramatic. The light drops lower and turns warmer, and the early sessions start in the dark. We wanted colors that look good in that low, warm light and still read clearly under the lights inside a gym.
Olive was the anchor. It is one of our core colors and it already works with almost everything we make. Rust and Burgundy were chosen to sit either side of it: one brighter and warmer, one deeper and cooler.
How they were tested
Like every color, all three went through our 50-cycle wash test on each fabric. Rust was the hardest. Our first two versions came out too orange on AirKnit. The third, a little browner, matched across every fabric we offer it in, under the same window light we use for our photographs.
We also checked how each one looks wet. Burgundy and Olive hide sweat well. Rust shows a little more, about the same as Slate.
How to wear them
The three colors are designed to work with each other and with the neutrals. A few combinations we keep coming back to:
- Rust and Black. A Rust shell training jacket over a Black tee and TerraFleece joggers. The simplest way in.
- Olive and Bone. Olive leggings or joggers with a Bone tee. Light enough for warmer fall days.
- Burgundy and Heather Grey. A Burgundy CoreFlex long sleeve under a Heather Grey TerraFleece hoodie for the coldest mornings.
- All three. Olive leggings, a Burgundy sports bra, a Rust shell on top. It sounds like a lot. In that low morning light, it works.
Seasonal, not limited
Olive is a core color and stays in the line. Rust and Burgundy are this season’s colors. They are offered in selected styles this fall and may return in others later. We will not pretend they are rarer than they are.
