If you haven’t already noticed, with the beginning of fall comes the obsession with pumpkin themed everything. Pumpkin coffee, pumpkin bread, pumpkin butter (yes, butter). Regardless of whether or not you like the flavor, it’s pretty hard to ignore. It got me thinking not only about the upcoming Halloween festivities and the costumes that follow, but also the color orange. It comes with the change of the leaves, it comes with all the pumpkin packaging, and when it comes to clothing you’ll see today that orange can be worn in many other ways besides a prison jumpsuit. From burnt oranges to fiery flame-tastic hues, today we’re taking our pumpkin inspiration to the closet.
First up, this dress with zipper detail is great for day or night. Try pairing it with brown tights and accessories instead of black to avoid looking too halloween-y.

For the bedroom, this set is sexy but also wearable for everyday use. The bright orange is similar to the neon theme from spring and summer, but a little darker for the upcoming season. For a fun look when your out on the town, wear this pop of color under a sheer top.

Not that we really need any convincing to buy a new pair of shoes, these suede orange pumps are a must-have for fall. Paired with skinny jeans for the day, or the perfect hint of color to mix up a little black dress, you’ll be able to get more than enough use out of these through fall and winter.
Perfect to pair with work clothes, to dress up a pair of jeans, or even to layer over top a sexy dress, blazers are one of the most versatile garments. Having one in orange or another bright color will add many more polished options to your wardrobe, just by pairing it with your favorite basics.
Now, when you think of orange hopefully you think of more than every pumpkin flavored food. This bold color can be worn in a variety of ways and when paired with the right colors you won’t have to worry about looking like a walking pumpkin!
