The True Autumn native looks the most stunning when they embrace a restrained golden radiance. Soft suedes, raw leathers, moderately contrasted snakeskins, brushed velvets, and corduroys can offer great texture. When considering materials, True Autumns look best in slightly light-absorbing and diffusing fabrics- the opposite of anything very prismatic or reflective. Overly polished and brilliantly cut gemstones will usually look a bit too severe. Turquoise, ruby, emerald, amber, and amethyst are some of the more common gemstones available in a slightly opaque and raw finish. Softly polished gemstones easily accommodate the warmth of the True Autumn. Oppositely, very bright and shiny surfaces will look too harsh and overly textured and very dull finishes will look heavy. Another important aspect of metal choice is the finish- slightly textured or antique finishes to slightly shiny and polished metals will mirror their even glow. True Autumns are richly warm and look best in deep golds, bronze, brass, and copper.
