Key Takeaways

  • Orange is one of the top trending colors this fall, thanks in part to the rise of “loud luxury” and the excitement surrounding Taylor Swift’s latest album.
  • While the bold hue can be intimidating at first, opting for a pop of color in a piece that fits an aesthetic you already love will help you feel confident in an orange outfit.

Call it the arrival of pumpkin spice season or mass excitement for Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl album, but orange is everywhere right now. From the latest iPhone drop to increasing hints of the hue across fashion pieces and beauty products, orange is adorning far more than our pumpkin-flavored treats, Halloween decor, and the surrounding fall foliage.

With the bold hue trending so strongly in our pop cultural zeitgeist, it’s time to carve out outfits featuring orange for everything from tailgates to office calls. Because it’s so strong and sometimes divisive, it can be tricky to plan an outfit that aligns with your aesthetic and doesn’t make you feel like a jack o’lantern—but we’ve got you. Ahead, discover 10 orange outfit ideas to try this fall, making a case for the shade at the office, as part of your coolest date night look, and more.

If you’re waiting for Taylor Swift’s latest album to drop (or looking for a way to celebrate once it has), channel your showgirl energy into a wearable orange ensemble. In a recent video, she wore a casual outfit that still made a statement with a shint of burnt sunset—and it felt remarkably similar to the above stylish statement from 2016. By sticking to one bold knit against an all-black base, the pop star has found an accessible orange outfit formula for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the hue.

Life of the Party

Sometimes, a statement piece is just what you need to take your favorite going-out pieces into main character territory. Upgrade your go-to black bodysuit and neutral pumps with an orange-toned leather midi skirt. When it comes to accessories, you don’t need much to complement such a standout ensemble, though you can also go maximalist if you desire—perhaps with some ’80s earrings.

An orange suit adds sophisticated fun to power dressing, ideal for in-office days when you need a confidence boost or nights out when you want something truly fresh. If a full monochromatic orange look feels overpowering, don’t worry: Break up these pieces with touches of cream and light brown.

Warm-Toned Maximalism

Sweater weather is on the horizon, and black and brown sweaters are always welcome—but a vibrant, on-trend hue like orange can bring a ray of sunshine to chillier, shorter days. For some balance, complete the look with neutral loafers, then make the look your own with layered gold jewelry.

Headed to a destination wedding or vacation, or live somewhere warm? A maxi dress is an effortlessly upscale option that doesn’t involve shimmying into a form-fitting piece. Gold jewelry and accessories are ideal pairings for orange, so don’t be afraid to layer bangles and necklaces or opt for a metallic handbag.

Minimalist and slightly baggy silhouettes with effortless layering were spotlighted on the runway during New York Fashion Week, so we’re certain to see this styling trend everywhere for the next few seasons. To recreate that “I woke up like this” look, roomy yet tailored pieces are key. A relaxed tangerine quarter-zip with black wide-leg pants, a suede handbag, and peep-toe heels feels comfortably chic and can be a great laid-back fall work ensemble.

Tailgating outfits can go from ultra-casual sneakers and denim to minis and show-stopping footwear. If you’re a fan of the latter, try an orange sweater dress accessorized with sunglasses, a black shoulder bag, and fringe-adorned boots. Even better, each of these are easy to mix and match throughout the cooler months with other favorites in your closet.
