I thought October, the month of HALLOWEEN would be perfect to showcase orange for our
color series this month, so let’s get into it!
Shades of Orange for Different Skin Tones: Burnt orange is a deeper, more muted shade that
works well with warm and neutral skin tones and it’s perfect for a fall look and complements the
season’s natural colors! Pumpkin is also a classic autumn shade that adds brightness and usually
suits those with warm undertones and looks great in casual settings. Looking for something a bit
softer? Peach is a softer, pastel orange ideal for cool and neutral skin tones. Its subtlety makes it
a versatile choice.
Orange in Fall Textures: a corduroy jacket or pants can be a statement piece paired with neutral
colors like cream or navy to balance the outfit. A pumpkin-colored cable knit can always add
warmth and texture to your look while rust-colored suede skirts or boots bring a luxurious feel.
And don’t forget velvet! A velvet top or dress offers a rich, elegant appearance. Remember to
keep other elements simple to let the texture shine.
Orange in Accessories: An orange scarf in a rich texture like wool or cashmere can add warmth
and a pop of color to any outfit. You can also opt for a small beanie or fedora in rust or burnt orange
to enhance your look subtly.
Hesitant About Orange? Start with smaller elements like accessories. An orange belt, earrings, or
shoes can provide a pop of color without overwhelming your outfit. And always remember that
you can include orange as a layer, like a tank under a jacket, or a scarf, so it’s not the focal point
but still adds interest.
By selecting the right shade and texture of orange to suit your skin tone and comfort level, you
can stylishly integrate this vibrant color into your senior photoshoot wardrobe!
