We’re Breaking Down The Basics To Wearing Orange Shorts

Orange tends to get the short end of the stick when it comes to colors. Whether it’s in neon tangerine or more of a marigold, the color has a tendency to scare some people away. But, we think when the temperatures heat up, your style should too. So, ladies and gents, we are going to show you how to tame this hot hue and squeeze a pair of orange shorts into your warm-weather wardrobe rotation.

Tried & True Tops:

When it comes to picking a top to go with your orange shorts, stick to one in white or blue. White is an obvious wear-with-all, but with orange your shorts will really pop. While blue, being the opposite to orange on the color wheel means the two are naturally complementary.

Pre-Approved Pieces for Guys: A white or navy polo shirt, a chambray shirt, white linen shirt or a nautical striped tee.

Pre-Approved Pieces for Girls: A white off-the-shoulder blouse, a white T-shirt or a chambray shirt.

On-Point Shoes &  Accessories:

Brights and metallics play-off each others flashy side, so don’t be afraid to add a splash of the shiny stuff when you’re putting the finishing touches on your outfit. Alternatively, you can take the attention off your shorts if you toss a few other bright colors into the mix. The key here is to add a few at a time but only in small doses. Lastly, avoid pairing your orange shorts with black and opt for brown instead; the warmer undertones of this earthy hue will feel more in line with a bright orange. 

Pre-Approved Pieces for Guys: A few colorful braided bracelets, colorblocked sneakers, printed slide-on plimsolls, brown boat shoes and/or a brown braided belt.

Pre-Approved Pieces for Girls: A colorfully beaded statement necklace, a gold or silver chain necklace, an arm party, a printed or metallic clutch and/or strappy sandals.
