Pics: Orange is the new black

London - The hit Netflix series is on trend in more ways than one this season.

Orange might be a shade with a few less than flattering connotations, think that big orange airline in the sky and over-liberal applications of fake tan. For autumn/winter, however, it’s finding itself on infinitely more stylish ground.

Orange might be a colour more traditionally associated with the summer months but this season it’s been reworked for colder climes.

 

Blame it on the 1970s, which has been a dominating trend for several seasons. Shades of burnt orange are key to channelling the boho vibe of the decade. The easiest way to work the trend into your wardrobe is with suede; there’s no shortage of the fabric in shops.

Outerwear in warm cinnamon shades are an investment buy but to incorporate the colour more sympathetically, opt for accessories.

Earthy shades are ideal but if that’s a little adventurous, separates can easily be paired with more modest basics. And if that hasn’t persuaded you to take the plunge, let’s not forget its association with one of the world’s most desirable brands, if it’s good enough for Hermes, it’s good enough for us.
