With summer coming, there’s no doubt that you will start to switch up your wardrobe with bright colours to celebrate and match the joyful warm weather – especially orange. Cheerful and bright, an orange dress is a statement piece that will ensure you are the centre of attention. But, it’s very important you style an orange dress carefully, otherwise it can look too busy or overwhelming. At first, it can seem like a daunting task; what jewellery could possibly go with an orange outfit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Read on to learn how to accessorise an orange dress with our styling tips!
Overview:
How to Accessorise an Orange Dress: 3 Styles
1. Colour Clash
If you want to make a real statement, and have the confidence to do so, then our first tip on how to accessorise an orange dress, is to opt for contrasting colours! Pair orange with bold gemstones that have a vivid contrasting colour like deep blue sapphire, magical emerald or even dreamy amethyst. After all, nothing says “I know my style” like bold colour choices. . These colours will all easily stand out with an orange dress and ensure that your ensemble is filled to the brim with character.
Top tip: pick one contrasting colour and stick with it across all your jewellery pieces, such as a sapphire ring, sapphire necklace and a pair of sapphire earrings. If you incorporate too many colours, your look will become too busy and the contrasting colours will be less effective.

2. Silver and Gold
If you aren’t quite ready to play with colour just yet, do not worry, a simple silver or gold jewellery piece can still look beautiful. Silver jewellery has cooler undertones than gold, which will tone down the look and make it more wearable. Silver looks great against orange fabric, and you will find that it reflects the colour of the dress beautifully. Step out with a chunky silver chain necklace, drop earrings and belcher bracelet to bring the whole look together.
If you generally wear gold, you can also pair gold and orange together. Both have quite warm undertones, balancing the focal point between both the dress and the jewellery. Wearing gold chains and gold rings with an orange dress can be cheerful and fun, so either way you’re winning!

3. Simplicities and Sticking with Orange
An orange dress on its own is a bold look, so our final tip on how to accessorise an orange dress is to think simple (with a twist). Keep it minimalistic and plain with a simple chain necklace and bracelet, but spice it up with some interesting earrings and a ring. Citrine (November’s birthstone) is a happy stone that exudes joy and cheerfulness with its orange tones. There are many shades of citrine to choose from so you can either match its hue to your dress or go for something lighter/darker. A balance between simple pieces and some dazzling citrine will let you feel complete, pretty and at the top of your fashion game.
