There were many colors introduced on the runways this fall. One of the brightest colors to burst onto the scene was orange. Now orange can be a tricky color to pull off. It’s extremely bright and if not worn correctly, can make anyone look like a big pumpkin. However a jeweled tone orange would be more complimentary for various skin tones. So when deciding to add color to your winter wardrobe, look for a jewel tone shade of orange. Adding this color will create a splash your wardrobe has never experienced before.

Deep orange would be best paired with bronze or different shades of brown. Any shade of orange should be worn in small doses. Keep in mind that you should only wear one orange piece at a time. Start with an orange top or orange bottom. Mix in a printed blouse or contrasting color and you will have a complete outfit.

If wearing orange isn’t your thing try nail polish. Nail polish is a great way to try out trends without committing. Accessories are another way to get your feet wet in the orange trend. Carry an orange trimmed bag to work to stand out from the other black briefcases.
