One of this season’s hottest colours is orange. It is a colour that can add zing to many an outfit, but it can be a bit daunting, it is not a colour you want to get wrong. So … here is a bit of a journey into how to wear orange.
First, you might only want to …
Adding a few accessories can add a great colour pop. Pair orange with denim and some navy stripes for a cute, fresh look. I love to add some coloured accessories to my outfits, the colour and the texture really lifts that classic look that I love, to another level. Also, if you decide that orange just isn’t your thing, you can change to orange touches for green or red or yellow or … anything! If you have dipped in your toes and liked it, you could …
Orange and black are so right together! Here is a tribal print skirt with a simple black tank top. Add some tribal themed orange jewellery and you have yourself a look that shows that you really know how to work with orange. Tying everything together with matching accessories is the key, you could add jazzy black nail polish with this outfit or even some orange! For those who are loving the feeling of wearing orange, you can …
Not everyone can wear orange so close to their face, so this is not for the faint hearted! Teaming orange with denim and navy means that the orange really stands out and makes a statement. Oh, and if you are going to wear such an amazing orange top, you may as well splash out and add some cute orange flats! If you would like to have MORE orange in your wardrobe, why not …
If you are seriously in to orange, you will not mind forking out for some gorgeous orange jeans {that is an investment!}. Orange looks fabulous with neutral colours and a touch of blue is so fresh and hip! With jeans being skinny cut, you should look for longer line shirts to wear over the top, I am loving seeing longer lines coming through again, great for those of us who are … ahem … a little softer in the middle than we would like to be. Now for those of you who have mastered wearing orange, you could …
This is such a great look for Summer. An orange floaty dress with lovely beige and orange accessories. Can you imagine wearing this for a party by the sea or drink on a deck somewhere? Orange needn’t be in your face, it can be a toned down shade that adds a subtle splash of colour to your wardrobe.
So … hands up who is going to add some orange to their spring/summer wardrobe? I may be bias but it’s a fabulous bright and happy colour. You never know, you might fall in love with it too.

I am B from bbeingcool. During the day I am a mum, wife and a primary school teacher. I am on a quest to discover what it means to be cool, which I am finding has nothing to do with shoes (darn it!). I blog about fashion, food, home and life. I love to put together look books of fashion tips, which is kinda like snipping up fashion magazines without the paper cuts.

Editor’s note: I’m very grateful this week to have some fabulous guest blog posts to publish here on Styling You as I get over my US adventure and a big combination of jetlag and post-holiday blues. And I’m very much firmly planted in the I Love Orange fashion camp!
