Orange You Glad It’s Fall? The Colour of the Year is Here

2–3 minutes

You’ve probably noticed it too — orange is everywhere right now. From the runway to your Instagram feed, this juicy, feel-good colour has officially claimed her crown as the colour of the year.

And honestly? It makes perfect sense.

After seasons of soft neutrals and quiet palettes, we’re all craving something that feels alive — warm, bold, and full of personality. Enter orange: the colour that says I’m here, I’m glowing, and I’m not afraid to stand out.

Think bright tangerine, cozy terracotta, and my personal favourite, papaya orange — the electric tone made iconic by the McLaren F1 team. What started on the track has officially made its way into fashion, popping up on the runways and in street style looks everywhere.

Designers have been sending models down the runway in fiery shades all season — from structured blazers to silky dresses that quite literally glow under the lights. And over on the red carpet? Celebs like Emily Blunt and Zendaya have already made orange their power move, proving it’s just as glamorous as it is playful.

Why Orange Feels Perfect Right Now

Orange just feels good — and even more so as we move into fall. It’s warm, cozy, and instantly gives off those autumnal vibes: think crisp leaves, golden sunsets, pumpkin spice everything. Orange radiates confidence and joy, but still feels seasonally appropriate, especially when styled in earthy or muted tones.

How to Style It

Orange may seem bright and intimidating at first — and honestly, I get it. But the beauty of this colour is that you can casually sprinkle it into your wardrobe or accessories to make it way less daunting.

If you’re not ready to go full head-to-toe orange, start small:

  • Add a pop of colour with a bag, scarf, or pair of heels.
  • Try a papaya-orange knit with cream trousers for a chic balance.
  • Mix orange with pink for a fun, fashion-week-approved combo.
  • Or lean into earthy burnt oranges and terracottas for that perfect fall vibe.

A hint of orange here and there can instantly lift your outfit (and your mood).

Orange is the ultimate comeback colour. She’s bold but approachable, chic but fun — the kind of hue that turns heads and lifts moods.

So whether you’re rocking papaya nails, a tangerine dress, or just sipping something citrusy in your orange-tinted sunnies, know this: 2025 (and this fall) is your year to stand out.

Because when life gives you oranges… wear them. 🧡

Love, Laura
