LOD:  The Little Orange Dress

Bryanna Brown

If you’re tired of what we all know is in store for the fall (black, grays, sequins, etc.) , grab fashion by its dainty (yet dangerous) horns and take a walk on the wild side.  Pick up an orange mini-dress to brighten up your wardrobe.

Fun and fearless, going for a mandarin hue will take you on a smooth ride through the Indian summer.   For now, you can wear it with a pair of stacked heels, ankle boots, gladiator sandals or even a polished pair of metallic thongs.  Come fall and cooler days, simply layer on top of solid tights or wear over jeans to get the most out of your orange outfit.

Having sashayed its way onto five different runways this season (YSL, Chloe, Luella, Fendi and Temperley), the orange dress is surprisingly more easygoing than obnoxious.  In fact, bold beauties Camille Belle and Jaquetta Wheeler haven’t shied away from the hue, and neither should you. A definite must if you’re interested in causing a colorful commotion, (and stirring up the usual boring room of little black dresses).

From Mandarin to burnt orange, this colour matches the tan you’ve been working on all summer and warms up your wardrobe as the temperatures begin to drop. Luckily for fashion fanatics, the trend is brilliant on brunettes, breathtaking on blonds and ravishing on redheads.  The LOD certainly doesn’t play favorites.  Pick up your head turner today, you won’t regret it.
