How to Confidently Wear: Orange
You may think that orange just isn't "my color", but the truth is, anyone can wear orange! It's been a widely popular color on the runway this past season and is great for this S/S of 2011. Here are some tips on how to wear orange casually on a day-to-day basis:
1. wear a simple structured item that is orange, like a skirt, shorts, or tank top.
2. make sure that you wear either a sunny orange, or a burnt orange. highlighter orange and other ugly oranges closer to the yellow family aren't flattering.
3. your orange clothing item should be a solid color, not a print. orange prints tend to get a bit crazy and are better for different occasions;but that's another lesson all on its own.
4. pair your simple orange skirt/shorts with a patterned/striped top of a different color like white, red, blue, green, etc. If your orange item is a shirt, then pair it with a simple patterned skirt/shorts, like stripes.
5. to make the outfit have a simple but fun vibe, wear some summery gladiator sandals.
6. add an extra burst of color with a contrasting colored clutch. blue and green contrast nicely with orange.
5. for accessories all you need is a long necklace, statement ring, and a pair of sunglasses. Maybe even tie on a belt!
P.S.-get a little more spunky with some orange or orange-tinted lipstick.
Try these tips as soon as you find something orange!
this would make such a cute outfit!
