STYLE NOTES:

Dilute the strength of orange with subdued navy and off-white. Swap navy for teal for something lighter and brighter.

Break up blocks of orange with macrame, raffia or crochet and cut-away or skin-bearing styles.

Introduce orange gently with shoes or bags that are furthest away from the complexion.

When in doubt, pair an orange ‘nice top’ with your favourite jeans.
