Orange Is the New Color Trend in Fall Fashion

— -- It may be vibrant and daring, but orange is making its way off the runway and into your closet.

“From Zara and Topshop to Givenchy and Valentino, lots of designers have added warm oranges to their collections this fall,” says Robyn Victoria Fernandes, a New York City stylist who has worked with celebs including Heidi Klum, Ke$ha, and Natasha Bedingfield.

But incorporating orange into your wardrobe can be a little intimidating.

“When adding any new color into your wardrobe, start off slow,” Fernandes says. “Not everyone is going to do flips of excitement at the idea of wearing Crayola Orange."

Here, Fernandes’s suggestions on how you can get it right.

Bold beauty

If you want to experiment before diving in, choose a lip gloss or pretty polish in an orange-y tone to incorporate the color. It’s a fun way to do it and it’s interchangeable so you won’t have to stick to it, Fernandes says.

An orange shoe

A classic pump or pointy toe flat in bold orange is a good place to start, Robyn says. Wear it to compliment a blouse or to spice up a smart suit for the office. “Just make sure the blouse has a hint of the orange that's in the shoe,” she says.

A statement accessory

You can use a bag or belt in the same regards as a shoe.

Or try pairing with neutral tones like a black or brown pant and a white blouse. This allows you to ease into it. As for the shade, Robyn suggests opting for warm versus bright. “Think autumn leaves with reddish undertones, instead of pumpkin orange,” she says. Rule of thumb: when wearing an orange accessory, something in your outfit should have a touch of that color as well.

A Coat

It’s a larger piece, so sporting a bright orange coat means you don’t necessarily need a coordinating accessory. It’ll give a pop of color to any office look, or it can be worked into a casual weekend outfit like jeans and a t-shirt.
