Rusty Chic

Take a walk on the wild side this month and be daring with orange. You can rediscover and play with this versatile colour whilst knowing your limits. Remember, it’s all about getting the proportions right so that you use just the right amount of orange for your body shape.

Bright and muted tones both work, so be as daring or subtle as you please. We want to show you how easy it is to work orange into any and every outfit, whether you have warm or cool colouring – just watch us work our magic!



Dries Van Noten

Take this sophisticated ensemble by Dries Van Noten, for example. Orange can be muted when paired with blacks and monotone prints. We doubt any of you are without black so there’s no excuse to dive straight in!

Suede skirts and tailored trousers with more rigid fabrics will sculpt even the plainest black tee into a completed look. Nip in at the waist with a belt to achieve professional and sexy, two-for-one! For once, you are allowed the pleasure of wearing the most versatile of all colours (black, of course!) without looking dull.

Splash your orange about to lift your outfit and compliment your skin tone. Throw on an orange and blue belt, grab an orange leather bag or toss a vibrant orange pashmina over your shoulder – it’ll work wonders!

Couple orange with a complementary colour such as purple or blue to bring out blue eyes and cooler skin tones; much like Michael van der Ham this autumn:

A simple faux pas regarding the hues you choose can be the difference between an intriguing, rustic outfit and something that looks like it’s stepped straight out of a spooky Tim Burton film shoot. 

In the meantime, trail the rails on the high street for an ingenious take on this trend. Skinny jeans for casual wear don’t need to stick to convention. Swap denim jeans for bright skinnies if you’re looking for the wow factor.

Alternatively, stick to your trustworthy denim staples with add burnt orange knits instead. Or jazz up your jeans with suede ankle boots.

Remember - experiment and discover because no colour on the wheel is exclusive to one type of woman.
