SS13 Menswear Trend Watch: Orange

This seasons key trend is 'brights'. This applies for both men's and women's. Throw backs from the 90s can be seen all over the high street. From neon trainers to bold printed tees. Yellow was this seasons key colour on the catwalk but this seems to have flopped massively for menswear. 


However, Orange seems to be everywhere. Perhaps due to its subtle yet strong nature Orange can be worn both formally or casually. Team a simple orange polo with a navy suit for a dressed down continental look or simply add an orange crew neck jumper with some fresh white sneakers and beige chino shorts for a laid back look.






The key to getting Orange, or any signature colour, right is to remember to only feature one, or two, items in that colour to the outfit. Do not over do the look and break up the outfit with colours from the same palette (beige, browns or blacks and whites). To keep it simple add a portfolio case in a pop colour to be in on the trend.

Sophie Stanley is an aspiring young designer currently studying Fashion Design at Leeds University. Her work is simple in construction with an energetic twist. Focusing on function and form Sophie adds simplistic prints to give even the most basic shapes a varying look.

Taking inspiration from travel, religion and family Sophie has focused on implementing her own character and emotion into her garments. Prototypes show the outline of garments and how the shape is key to all looks; prints are then applied in keeping with the customers requirements.
