8 Fashion Buys That Prove Orange Really is the New Black
Come summer, muted pastels are a dime a dozen. Blaze a color trail with orange, the season’s freshest hue. It looks divine on dark, dewy skin; for pale girls, a swipe of bright orange lipstick is perfection. (I chose Tory Burch’s ‘Pretty Baby,’ a subdued coral that’s a great starting point. Work your way up to more neon shades from here.) Worried about mixing orange separates? Opt instead for a V-backed romper. It’s way more unexpected than a cocktail dress, and it won’t blow up in seaside gusts.
