OK Fine, I’ll Jump On The Taylor Swift Orange Train

While August is often a quiet one on the fashion front, as most designers and tastemakers enjoy the calm before the fashion month storm, leave it to Taylor Swift to throw us a curveball. On the heels of her thunderous announcement of her 12th album The Life of a Showgirl, the Grammy Award winner set into motion fall’s biggest color trend. Yes, seemingly overnight, social feeds have been inundated with orange apparel, accessories, and beauty products. Just chalk it up to the Swift effect.

While the hue is often one of the more polarizing ones on the color wheel, I’m not mad about its sudden surge in popularity. As a staunch devotee of all things pink, I see orange as pink’s bolder, flashier sister. So, I’m fully on board.

And, as it happens, you won’t be hard-pressed to find truly chic orange style staples, as everyone seems to have something to offer. There’s Prada’s uber-mod Tricotine skirt, that reads very apropo for the chillier season ahead. And, for those living in the moment, tangerine Triangl’s Maia bikini will help you finish the summer off on the highest note.

For all you minimalists out there who can’t seem to wrap your head around an orange look, have no fear. You can embrace Swift’s latest trend subtly, by way of sleek bangles or earrings.

So, as we all anxiously await the release of T-Swift’s new album, we’ll let her style sensibilities tied us over. Ahead 10 orange-hued fashion items that are showgirl-approved.
