Orange is a wonderful color. It’s bright, fun, and beautiful, and suits every season.

It feels good to dress boldly sometimes, especially with a color that brings smiles to faces and warmth to gray days. Here are some great ways to bring this undervalued hue into your wardrobe, and set your image aglow:

In winter woollies

Next time you’re choosing a new jumper, pick one with the extra warmth of orange. It’ll cut a welcome contrast to the winter world of frost and snow, and add zest to cozy, fireside evenings.

In accessories

Clothing in dark or neutral tones can be strikingly enhanced by a hint of orange. A bright flicker in a minor accessory, such as a belt, pendant, scarf, or tie, will be just the ticket to complement your quieter outfits.

In casual clothes and sportswear

Light up an ordinary day with a splash of cheer in your casualwear. Tee-shirts come in all sorts of shades, so next time you’re buying, look out for a mood-lifting, flame shade. Many sportswear items can also be found in orange, so keep an eye out for this positive tone in shorts, sweatshirts, running socks, and headbands.

In party attire

You can’t go wrong with happy orange at a party or celebration. If you feel tempted to dress from head to toe in this merry, festive color, why not? Make the most of fine, flowing fabrics to meld different shades of flame, amber, and peach, setting the ambiance alight.

In swimwear

Orange swimwear will strike an attractive contrast with the cool blues of sea and sky. Whether you’re choosing swimwear or something a little more substantial to wear on the beach, a starfish-orange fabric will look stunning on a summer’s day. 

In ornamentation

Orange is an excellent color for body decoration, with its smiling vibrancy. Let it shine through the gloss of your hair in a clip, band, or bow. Adorn your features with candle-bright rings or beads. Some jewelry and fascinators are made with natural items, such as shells, coral, or gems, often with an orange hue; others use glass or translucent plastic for a magical glow, so browse the range for an ideal choice.  

Wear orange, and you’ll bring warmth to the world. See it light up faces around you, and feel it lift your own spirits, too. With all these ways of wearing this happy color, you can raise a smile every day.
