If you ask us, it's time to reinvent the image of earthy fashion — earth tones can actually have so much more range than your standard browns and greens. In fact, these traditionally crunchy colors are back and better than ever this fall.

Shades of brown, mahogany, off-white, burnt orange, and even lavender are the new fresh take on earth tones — and we could not be more excited to try them out. See 10 ways we're embracing earth tones this fall, from activewear to outdoor wear.
