The Underrated Fall Color You’ll See Everywhere (Thanks, Taylor Swift 🎤🍊)

Taylor Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl, dropped October 3rd—and if you’ve seen the visuals, you know one thing for sure: orange is the moment.

It’s bold, unexpected, and surprisingly versatile. Yet, it’s often overlooked in favor of the usual fall palette—burgundy, forest green, camel. But my take? Orange deserves a spotlight.

Why Orange Works

Orange isn’t just one color—it’s a whole spectrum. From burnt sienna to soft pumpkin spice to deep rust, there’s a shade for everyone. And the best part? It instantly adds warmth, personality, and a little “showgirl confidence” to your outfit.

My Take

I think orange is one of the most underrated colors in fall fashion. I love that it feels fresh, a little daring, and completely wearable when styled the right way. I often tell clients to treat orange like a neutral—it plays so well with denim, black, cream, and even blush pink. You’ll be surprised how seamlessly it fits into your closet.

Easy Ways to Add Orange This Fall

Not ready to go head-to-toe? Start small:

  1. Boots: A rust-toned ankle boot is the perfect partner for denim.

  2. Scarves: A pop of pumpkin against a neutral coat adds effortless chic.

  3. Accessories: Swap your usual bag for a burnt-orange crossbody or add statement earrings.

  4. Layering pieces: Think lightweight sweaters or a structured blazer in a deep tangerine.

This fall, don’t be afraid to add a little “Swiftie orange” to your style. Whether it’s a single accessory or a statement piece, it’s a color that can give your wardrobe energy, confidence, and a touch of fun.
