Adjectives for the fall (autumn)

1) If the air or the weather is crisp, it is pleasantly dry and cold. The crisp air is one of my favorite things about fall!
Fran: I love these crisp autumn days! It’s nice not to break out in a sweat every time I go outside.
Bob: I know what you mean. Summer was brutal this year!
2) If someone tells you it’s nippy outside, they mean that it is chilly or rather cold. This is an informal word.
This fall word comes from the verb nip, which means “to give someone/something a quick, painful bite or pinch”. So, when the weather is nippy, the idea is that the cold is biting or pinching you a little bit.
Iago: You might want to wear an extra layer. It’s a bit nippy out!
Helen: Thanks for the warning! I’ll pack my scarf, too.
3) all is full of days with bracing weather. This is the type of cold weather that makes you feel full of energy.
Chad: There’s nothing I like more than a run in the bracing chill of October!
Javier: I can think of a few things I like more, and they’re not that healthy!
4) This is a wonderful word, and you can use it for all kinds of things! If something is invigorating, it makes you feel healthy and full of energy.
A glass of sparkling water can be invigorating, a run can be invigorating, and a cool, fall day can also be invigorating!
Gwen: I should visit you more often. I love this invigorating mountain air.
Bruce: It is nice, isn’t it?
5) A breezy day is a pleasantly windy day.
Alicia: You might want to put your hair in a bun or something. It’s breezy out today!
Shana: Wonderful! I love those days!
6) Not all windy autumn days are breezy, though. If an autumn day is full of strong winds, you would call that a blustery day.
Harry: Can we skip our stroll today? I’d love to catch up, but it’s so blustery out.
Martin: I’m with you on that. How about we catch up over coffee instead?
7) If the wind or the weather is brisk, it is cold but pleasantly fresh.
Sylvia: The forecast says it will be brisk today, so let’s remember to take jackets when we go out.
Eileen: Thanks for checking on the weather! I always forget to do that.
8) Autumn leaves are vivid! This means that their colors are very bright.
Tony: The oak in your yard is so vibrant! I can’t believe how red the leaves are!
Peyton: I love it, too. Looking out at it every morning is my favorite thing about the fall.
9) You can use this vocabulary word to describe a lot of different things, but it certainly applies to the brilliant colors of fall leaves! Something that is splendid is very beautiful and/or very impressive.
Dawn: I’m so glad we decided to take this walk.
David: I agree! These leaves are splendid!
10) No list of autumn adjectives would be complete without the word vibrant. Vibrant colors are very bright and strong.
Rory: What is the fall like where you live?
Sean: We don’t have all these changing leaves. Honestly, I had no idea they’d be so vibrant!
11) If something is resplendent, it is brightly colored in an impressive way.
Daniel: Banishment is a cruel fate. How I long to see the resplendent trees of autumn hugging the hills of my homeland.
Matt: You’re not banished, you know. This isn’t the Middle Ages. You’re just in a spat with your wife, which is a different thing altogether. You can fly home whenever you want.
12) This autumn adjective describes a specific color that you often see as fall leaves change from red to brown.
Something that is russet is reddish-brown in color.
John: Ah, Autumn! There’s no sound like the crunch of russet leaves underfoot!
Michael: Haha! You’re waxing rather poetic today!
13) By contrast, a saffron leaf would be bright orange-yellow in color.
Debbie: If you’ve never been to Ontario in September, you’re really missing something. The streets are covered in freshly fallen saffron leaves. You feel like you’re in another world.
Lee: It sounds beautiful. We’ll have to make it up there next year to see that.
14) I saved one of the best autumn adjectives for last! Flaming means “bright red or orange in color“, likes the flames of a fire.
Susan: What gorgeous, flaming leaves! We’re so lucky to be here when the leaves are in full splendor!
Lauren-Claire: Fall leaves really are one of nature’s miracles!
