The runways have been ablaze with bright, pop colours, with orange proving the lead favourite by a fashionista’s mile. Blocked, striped or printed, either way, orange is making its mark from shoes to shoulders and everything in-between. Our particular favourites included Céline’s colour-blocking and Prada’s stripes, but our true love is reserved for Balenciaga’s perfect shoes (thank you, M. Ghesquière!).
Hot orange works well on almost all skin tones (incredible, we know!) and is a fabulous accent for each base colour, be it black, navy, brown, tan or grey. Gosh, it’s no wonder this hue is enjoying such a solid workout.
Yet, we accept that it’s not for everyone to don colour head-to-toe. Instead, opt for some sharp accessories in classic styles, like the Angel Jackson Foldover clutch in matt orange snakeskin. Its large, structured shape adds a bolt of colour (we’re loving it worked against grey) and its portable size means you can conceal it in your work bag and flash it out for after-hours drinks. Or opt for a modern classic in Rebecca Minkoff’s 5-Zip orange clutch which looks especially good layered crossbody over a floral print dress.
If you’re after a cooler, blue-based orange, try some of the persimmon tones which goes exceptionally well with navy for a sharp, tailored look. The Rebecca Minkoff Paramour is our standout in that colourway: a striking top-handled satchel with delightful zips and compartments galore.
Still not sure? An easy way to try this trend is with an orange cashmere scarf – a quick way to brighten a winter’s look. An even easier way to try on some colour is with a slick of nail polish … it’s fantastic how just one coat can completely transform your lookand your mood! We recommend uslu airlines for its wild colours and heightened staying power, but there’s plenty of colourful choice from our faves at butter LONDON.
Enjoy!
