ORANGE IS THE HAPPIEST COLOUR - How to wear Orange.

  • March 18th 2020 / Revised: January 2nd 2021

According to colour theory, orange is supposed to be exuberant, energizing, invigorating, enthusiastic and joyous —so why, when it comes to wearing it, does it stop so many of us in our tracks?. Fun and flamboyant orange radiates warmth and energy. It is very versatile, and has a shade for all seasons as either an accent or background colour.

Here are my style tips on how to filter Orange into your outfits in all seasons:

This post includes affiliate links - suggestions of items I've hunted out on the Internet for you. If you see anything you like, click the links and decide to buy the suggestion, then the retailer will give me a little commission (maybe even enough to buy a latte) to thank me.

Orange on Nudes / Neutrals or Grey

Orange on a backdrop of Nude Blush Pinks, Neutrals or Grey is a transition that instantly brings some "happiness" and excitement to the refined greys and nudes.

A great way to let the bold tones of your orange piece stand out without competing with any other colour, is to pair orange with neutrals. Avoid black unless headed out trick or treating, but take your pick from nearly all other nude shades. Your look will be clean and refined, but fun and punchy. Orange is great for adding a touch of cheerfulness to neutral dresses and lifts your spirits.

Orange is the Happiest Color.

Pastel Popped

Not brave enough to go with the energized oranges in the above outfit, then try the pastel option.

Pastel oranges like peach and apricot are still perfect for bringing grey into summer, but a little less zesty.

Orange Purple Colour Clash

There is an Orange for every season. You will see Orange in Nature in some form all year round, and is a favourite for Autumn in the less flo hues. Orange pairs well and is fun with Chocolate, Browns, Navy, Deep Purples and Teals.

Pairing with any of these colours embraces Autumn, with the Orange still hanging on to Summer. Full of prep and spontaneity, these colour combos are the perfect mix of cool and warm, and keep colour in your outfit.

Orange and Purple Eggplant / Aubergine are a style favourite when it comes to contrasting combinations. Visually appealing, the two dynamic shades create a bold and chic look when paired together. The deep rich tones of Aubergine give it just the right amount of contrast to ensure the outfit is not too striking.

Orange with Brilliant Blues

Ink Blue, Cobalt, Sapphire, Royal, Navy and nearly all shades of blue can be paired with a shade of orange. Blue is the perfect match for colour blocking with orange. Brilliant cobalt blue is great with zesty tangarine in the summer, while darker hues like Navy and burnt orange are perfect companions for the winter.

Burnt Orange with Teal (add Gold if wish, for more Romance)

There is an Orange for every season. For Autumn Orange is a favourite paired with Teal. With Teal at the helm you move into Autumn, while the orange keeps a summery feel, but is true the orange hues of Autumn leaves. Full of prep and spontaneity, these colours are the perfect mix of cool and warm.

This combo has depth and demonstrates a playful flair.
