Orange: Underrated Color in Menswear & How To Wear & Combine It With Classic Men's Clothing

About this video

The Gazette team explores how to effectively incorporate orange into men’s wardrobes, demonstrating that while full orange suits appear outlandish, orange works beautifully as an accent color in vests, ties, pocket squares, and socks. They teach how to pair orange with complementary colors like brown, charcoal, navy, and green across different seasons, and explain that orange flatters all skin tones when used with appropriate contrast levels.

Key takeaways

  • The Gazette team argues that orange should be used as an accent rather than a full suit, working best in smaller doses like ties, vests, pocket squares, and socks
  • The Gazette team recommends pairing orange with colors like brown, charcoal, navy, and green, while avoiding combinations with red and pink items
  • The Gazette team teaches that darker rust oranges suit fall/winter, lighter pastel oranges work for spring/summer, and orange complements all skin tones when proper contrast is maintained
  • The Gazette team suggests beginners start with orange socks or a pocket square before progressing to more prominent pieces like vests or ties
