The hottest color of the Spring season is bright, refreshing and brilliant orange. Before the oompa loompas and Real Housewives of Orange County begin to rejoice, I want to clarify exactly what we mean by the orange that’s in. Here are five of our best picks for the captivating hue:
1) The Blouse
A silky flouncy top like the one featured below will be your best friend this Spring. You can wear it tucked in or out of a dark rinse denim pant or into a skirt. Double points for those who can exercise their inner Van Gogh and pair it with complementary colors like blue, beige, or even pull out the wild card of hot pink.
2) The Polish
Nothing brightens my day more than applying a fresh glow of dazzling orange to my phalanges. My personal favorites are Essies ‘meet me at sunset’ and OPIs ‘In My Back Pocket’. I’m anticipating loud boos for this suggestion, but I’m obsessed with bedazzling my nails! Some artists exercise oils as their medium of choice, and I like to stick on a gem or two.
3) The Pant
Be brave and put the pant on. You know you want to. That blush of orange will be your statement piece so soften everything else so it can have a voice.
4) The Lipstick
I love a pop tart colored shine on the lip every once in a while. Please please please keep the rest of your makeup at bare to minimum and your attire muted.
5) The Clutch
Use this prime opportunity to rock a clutch in a rich orange with essentially any color combination and outfit. I would encourage you to top off an outfit of similarly hued colors like hot pink and neons OR to use it as your easy glamour fix for a solid outfit.
What do you think? Are you ready to don the orange? We'd love to hear suggestions from all you fashionistas!
