‘Caramel Cafe’ lends a coffee-season warmth as our color of the month
When the trend forecasters at Pantone began looking into some of the top colors for autumn and winter 2022, they put their picks into a special report for the New York fashion industry. The results: an array of bright candy tones (Barbiecore ringing any bells?) mixed together with a trio of calm, earthy neutrals.
As for our tastes this fall, we thought we’d delve into the coffee-weather vibes of “Caramel Café,” a warm, earthy brown suited as much to vegan leather as to toasty autumn décor. Scroll below for some of our picks in the shade from around town:

The warmth of “Caramel Café” practically begs to be draped over something cozy, which makes these cowhide-and-leather throw pillows an unexpected, if very welcome, addition to an autumnal sofa spread.

Wooden objects are an easy take on the swirly, caramel tones of our color of the month, but when seen on a statement piece like this mid-1800s secretary cabinet, we’re transported to old country estates, sorting our silver to the sound of crunching leaves.
