NEW COLOURS FOR AW17: YELLOW/ORANGE

By Lakeisha Goedluck, 24 October 2017

Tired of dressing in dark tones? Well, we’ve got just what you need to lighten up this autumn. Playing around with obscure colour combos seems to be the vibe of AW17, so it’s time to mix those sombre shades with sunshine-yellow and pumpkin-orange hues. Here’s a sartorial bright idea to get you started.

New Colours for AW17: Yellow/Orange featuring an ASOS striped T-shirt, Jaded London track joggers, ASOS oversized vinyl trench coat, Granted baseball cap in checkerboard and Reebok Club Workout trainers | ASOS Style Feed

First off, go bold with your base layer. Opt for an orange-and-yellow-striped ringer tee with navy piping around the neckline to kick off the light-and-dark theme of your ’fit. Carry on the same motif down low and choose a pair of yellow trackies with horizontal and vertical stripe details to show that you know how to combine patterns without crossing the decorative line.

Copy the likes of MSGM and Fendi and wear a black vinyl trench coat over the top of your sporty separates. Then, choose a checkerboard-print hat to tie the colour of your coat and the stripes on your trews together. To finish, don a pair of black Reebok Club Workout creps – notice how the gum sole serves as a final nod to the orange tones running through your getup.
