Spring’s Trendy Color: Orange
By Yolanda Wikiel
Try the zesty shade in small doses or big splashes to boost a winter-dull wardrobe.
The spring runways were practically a citrus festival—Lacoste’s sporty clementine separates, Versace’s mandarin power suits, Marc Jacobs’s mimosa-colored silks. Orange is vibrant, it’s energizing…and you may be wondering how to pull it off without looking like a can of Fanta. Simple: Bring it down a notch with a dark neutral, or let it meet its (mis)match with a vivid complementary shade. Those with dark, olive, or tanned skin can pick from the whole Tropicana spectrum. The paler among us fare better in shades with a pink undertone, like coral or poppy.
This outfit is all New York & Company. I recently purchased a couple of orange items to add some color to my spring and summer wardrobe. I will say that the pictures just don't do the shade of orange justice, you have to see it in person to get the full effect.
NY&CO Cardigan (Red Light) $36.95 [$18.50]

(I have yet to come up with my favorite orange and navy outfit, but I've included some possibilities.)
