How to Wear Orange

By Aniela / March 17, 2009

Today we're going to show you how to wear orange! For a lot of people, orange is a hard color to pull off. Surprisingly though, orange is a very flattering color since it instantly adds a natural glow to your skin tone. This spring, designers lit up the runways with a range of vibrant tangerines, neon oranges and amped-up corals that looked yummy and wearable all at once. But if you're not used to wearing orange, it can seem a little tricky. So here's how to make sure you're wearing the right hues at the right time.

How to Wear Orange

Orange Bag

If you decide to wear orange near your face, such as a top, a hat or accessories, pick vibrant shades of mango for olive-to-dark skin tone. If you're a little paler, opt for more muted orange shades such as a sunset color. When trying on garments at the store, just hold up the item near your face; if it makes your eyes pop and brightens up your face, you've got a winner. But if it makes you look pale or drab, put it back!

Orange Wrap Dress

Also, when you're wearing statement colors such as orange, you have to be able to stand out, and not your clothing. Don't let the garment take over you, YOU should take over the garment and wear it confidently.

If you want to sport a crazy neon orange but you're afraid it will look bad against your skin tone, grab something that is away from the face such as a belt or a pair of shoes. Also, rememeber that you can transition slowly into a new color by taking on a few pieces that have just a hint of orange. After which, you can gradually progress.
