These 7 Color Combos Make Orange Look Good on Everyone
I'm a huge fan of minimalism because it's most definitely the easiest way to look chic. But true success is taking unique statement pieces and color schemes and something making them all work together. That's why I'm telling you that if you're able to make this year's It color—orange—work in more than one way, you are going to be dressed on a whole other level.
My love for the color orange was accelerated last summer and I wasn't wearing it because it was trending. The color just looked so good on my skin tone, and my best friend who's the complete opposite complexion of me looked amazing in it as well. I feel like every time I see someone wearing this iconic color they're quite literally glowing. So let's just dive in on how to style it.
Burnt Orange + Khaki
We're starting off with my current favorite color combination, orange, and khaki. This is definitely the 2022 way to wear this fun color. The fashion girls are behind me on this one.
Shop the look:
Sunset Orange + Cloud
If you're new to wearing orange, the easiest approach for you is going to be pairing it with white. Especially for summer, this is a foolproof way to look great no matter where you're headed.
Shop the look:
Bright Orange + Black
Pairing orange and black together can be tricky. You want to make sure you don't look like Party City on October 30. This is the way to do it. Adding in a tropical print or something that feels different will leave you with no regrets.
Shop the look:
OJ + Pretty Pink
The perfect athleisure look certainly does exist. This color combo is next level. Pink and orange surprisingly make for the perfect pair so you're going to have to try this out.
Shop the look:
Cheeky Orange + Mellow Yellow
This is for the ultra-feminine girls who love playing around with color. You need to try pairing orange and yellow together. How chic.
Shop the look:
Burnt Orange + Military Green
If you're a fan of the utility look, then you're going to love this fun way to style the color orange. One of my favorite shades of orange is a dark, burnt rendition and you're going to love how this looks with military green.
Shop the look:
Bold Orange + Chocolate Brown
I, of course, saved the best for last. This color combo is out of this world. Dark brown and orange look so fabulous when paired together. Trust me—I wore orange shoes and a brown dress today.
