From burgundy to burnt orange, fall is one of the most classic times for fashion and for nail colors! Here are 9 classic fall nail colors you’ll be reaching for again and again.

Although I love the beauty that each season brings with it, the colors during the fall season take the cake. Here in NYC, it is incredible to see the leaves change color and fall to the ground. The leaves on the ground create a beautiful trail of golden yellow and orange. Although to really get the proper fall experience, you need to travel upstate NY. One easy way to incorporate these fall colors (if you’re not too close to fall foliage) is to paint them on your nails!

If you haven’t yet checked out my post on early fall nail colors, go check that out as well for ideas on what to wear in the early fall. Some of the nail colors on that list can also be worn well into the fall season.

The Best Classic Fall Nail Polish Colors

1. Burgundy

Wicked is a cult classic. Chances are, if you are a nail polish lover, you have heard of Wicked. If you haven’t then you are in luck. You will adore this color. It is my go-to deep burgundy red for the fall. I have been wearing it for years.

2. Emerald Green

Jewel tones for the fall season are essential. Emerald green in specific is always a good idea. Whether it is a beautiful emerald green coat or a gorgeous emerald color on your nails.

3. Smokey Nails

One of my absolute favorite fall colors is Smokin Hot. It is a smokey dark purple-grey color and it is very unique. Another color that has been around for a while, I reach for this color at least once per season. I get tons of compliments on this whenever I wear it.

4. Navy Blue

Deep dark blues are gorgeous in the fall. They also go really well with a lot of capsule wardrobe-style outfits. So if you like to stick to a neutral capsule palette in the fall season, this is a great color for you.

5. Rust Orange

What would a classic fall nail color list be without a burnt orange?

6. Red Nails

Pretty much any nail polish list you’ll find on my blog will include a red nail. That is because a classic red nail looks good during any season. Although classic red nail polish never goes out of style. Try out a brick red nail polish for the fall season to switch things up.

7. Black Nail Polish

Yes! Do not be afraid to wear black nail polish. Black nail polish can look incredibly chic.  This will obviously depend on your overall style. But if you like to stick to a classic wardrobe, black nails are an increidble complement.
