As the leaves start to fall and the air gets colder, our thoughts naturally turn to fall-winter fashion.
And for the Fall-Winter 2023-24 season, one color stands out from all the others: the orange. This bold yet calming shade promises to add some sparkle to our coldest outfits.
But how do you wear this vibrant color without going overboard? Here are some tips for embracing orange, as well as the best color combinations for this season.
Orange and Violet: A Bewitching Alliance
The orange-purple combination is for those who want to make a bold creation.
Purple adds intense depth to the natural glow of orange. Consider adding a delicate pop of purple worn over an orange base or purple accessories to add a subtle pop to an all-orange look.
For a softer approach, opt for pastel shades, like lavender, combined with a soft orange.
In jewelry, play with pearl gradients oranges and in the center punctuate with purple beads. This will add depth to your creation.
Orange and Blue: A Dynamic Contrast
Due to their opposite positions on the color wheel, orange and blue are natural complementary colors. This means that together they enhance each other, creating a visually dynamic contrast.
Imagine a soft orange sweater worn with dark blue jeans or a bright orange dress paired with sky blue accessories. This combination offers the perfect balance of warmth and coolness, ideal for the fall-winter season.
In jewelry, pair orange beads with blue beads and embellish with gold beads to add sparkle.
Orange and Red: Passionate Incandescence
Combining two of the warmest hues on the spectrum, orange and red are a fiery union. These colors, when worn together, exude intense energy and passion. To embrace this trend, consider a red scarf with an orange dress or pops of red on an accessory worn with an orange outfit.The contrast between these two bright colors is sure to catch everyone's eye.
In jewelry, like here on our Miyuki beaded fringe earrings, the gradient of beads ends with red beads.
Tips for wearing orange with elegance:
- Do not overload: If you opt for an orange statement piece, keep the rest of your outfit more neutral to balance out the look.
- Play with textures: Orange in transparent beads, for example, will have a completely different look than a Carnelian stone or an enameled pendant.
- Test different shades: From soft coral to burnt orange, the shades are very varied and the combinations endless!
In conclusion: Orange isn’t just a color; it’s a celebration of the season. Fall-Winter 2023-24 reminds us that even in the coldest months, there’s room for warmth, joy, and liveliness. So, don’t hesitate to add a touch of orange to your jewelry designs this season. After all, it’s the hue that defines the year!
