Monochrome Monday: The Orange Slice Edition
If your wardrobe is missing a dose of serotonin, consider this your sign to go full 'orange slice'.
Orange isn't for the faint of heart - it's for the ones who walk into a room and own it. It's the colour of sun-drenched afternoons, Aperol spritzes on the Riviera, and that Hermès packaging that make unboxing feel like an event. It's playful but powerful, a shade that's flirted with every era, from '60s mod minis to '70s disco glam, all the way to Gen Z's love affair with sunset hues.
This week, we're taking a deep dive into citrus territory with pieces that prove orange is more than just a pop of colour (for those who dare). Flowing kaftans that move like a summer breeze? Check. Crystal-embellished pumps that deserve their own spotlight? Absolutely. A swipe of dewy tangerine blush to pull it all together? You already know. So whether you're ready to go all-in or just dip your toes into the tangerine-tinted waters, this Monochrome Monday is here to make sure you do it right.
Lyanna | Mykonos Set
This oversized, sunset-orange set is coastal, but still sophisticated. Tailored yet effortless, it's the kind of look that turns a beachside stroll into a fashion moment (bare feet optional, attitude mandatory). Wear Fold | Trouvaille
This burnt-orange, hooded cloak-meets-kaftan is the ultimate effortless luxury moment. Flowing, moody, and monastic in the best way, it's perfect for disappearing into the woods or making an entrance at an avant-garde gallery opening. Mach & Mach | Double Bow Crystal Embellished Pumps
The clash of fiery satin and glistening crystal bows is pure spectacle, turning every step into a statement. The sculptural heel and razor-sharp pointed toe add an edge to the whimsy. Honest the Label | Manis Dress
Sunset meets sheer elegance in this slinky, off-the-shoulder knit dress. The perfect amount of relaxed and sultry, it was made for a summer night spent dancing barefoot under fairy lights. Zhivago | Mila Orange
This structured, pumpkin-hued handbag is a lesson in statement accessorising. Minimalist shape, maximum impact, it's the little punch of color that takes a neutral outfit from meh to main character energy. Farmrio | Floral Orange Maxi Dress
A riot of colour and movement, this maxi dress is the wearable version of a golden hour glow. Farm Rio never shies away from a bold print, and this one is practically made for twirling in a sun-drenched piazza. Kaf by Kaf | Peach Kaftan
This draped, painterly kaftan is what happens when comfort meets fashion. The subtle sheen and earthy tones make it feel almost royal, like a modern take on something a desert queen would casually lounge in. Etr | Holly & Ivy Bag
A handbag that looks like it belongs in an old Italian film, this piece is structured, sophisticated, and a little mysterious. The mix of textures and deep orange tones make it feel timeless yet completely fresh. Dima Ayad | Linen Embroidered Sequin Cocoon with Belt
This cocoon-shaped beauty drapes like a dream, with subtle sequin embroidery catching the light just enough to dazzle. Crafted from light-weight linen, the piece is adorned with wide, billowy sleeves, as well as an optional belt for a cinched moment. Glossier | Cloud Paint in Dawn
A sunlit flush in a tube, Glossier's Cloud Paint in Dawn is the perfect balance between a just-pinched glow and a painterly wash of tangerine. The gel-cream formula melts into the skin for that effortless, dewy warmth, like golden hour bottled up for your cheeks. Carolina Herrera | Beaded Ball Dome Earrings in Marigold
If the sun's energy could be embodied into jewellery, it would look like this. These tangerine-hued statement earrings bring texture, volume, and a playful nod to the '60s, ideal for anyone who likes their accessories loud and luminous.
