Are you ready for it?
Taylor Swift just dropped news about her new album, Life of a Showgirl, and the album color? Statement orange. For Taylor Swift, orange comes naturally to her since she's a light spring. It's the kind of color that stops you in your tracks—and also the kind that makes most women wonder, Can I actually pull that off?
Here’s the truth: you can wear orange. You just need the right strategies and right shade for your skin tone and color season. Burnt, neon, coral, pumpkin—different versions can either make you glow or leave you looking washed out.
LookSky is your favorite online clothing store—but smarter. We match you to the exact orange shades that work for your undertones, shape, and style. Then, you can try them on virtually and see the difference before you buy—no risky purchases, no “this looked better online” moments.

For Summers and Winters — Cool-Toned Skin
If you have cool undertones, you can wear orange (we’re all about embracing the looks you love). But if you want color season–specific guidance, a few thoughtful strategies will help you work this shade seamlessly into your wardrobe.
If you want to wear orange clothing, try pairing a top in one of your season’s best colors with an orange shade that works harmoniously as your skirt or pants. Or, introduce a little bit of orange through a small pattern.
Soft Summer — Peachy Melon Orange
Soft Summers shine in low-contrast, cool, and muted colors—think powder blues, seafoam greens, and dusty mauves. Warm hues like orange can easily overpower your delicate coloring, but the right version can still be beautiful. The trick is to keep the saturation low and the undertone soft.
For example, Pair a dusty pale blue top (a Soft Summer go-to) with a muted orange or a dusty pinky-orange bottom. This keeps the overall palette gentle and harmonious while still letting you play with a pop of color.
Why it works:
• Gentle, muted orange won’t clash with your cool undertones.
• Natural fabrics like linen, cotton, or matte silk keep the look soft and refined.
• Works easily with Soft Summer neutrals like grey, taupe, and denim.
LookSky Picks:
• Bardot Knit Top in Pastel Blue by Reformation
• Patch Pocket Elastic Waist Shorts in Ginger from Sophie & Hailee
• Patch Pocket Slub Wide Leg Pants from Ashley Stewart
Deep Winter — Go for Bold
Orange is tricky for Winters, but depth and base tone make all the difference. Avoid bright neons and pale pastels—they can feel out of place against your cool, high-contrast coloring. Instead, go for bold, blue-based reds or deep, rich oranges like flame, burnt orange, or terracotta.
You can use the same pairing strategy as Soft Summers: pick one of your season’s strongest colors (like black, royal blue, purple, or true red) for your top, then bring in orange through a skirt, trousers, or accent pieces.
Why it works:
• High-contrast, blue-based orange flatters Deep Winter’s cool undertones.
• Pops dramatically against dark hair and eyes.
• Looks luxe in sharp tailoring or rich fabrics like wool, satin, or cashmere.
• Use orange as an accent color, not the main show
LookSky Picks:
• Darla Knit Top in Electric Blue by Reformation
• Solid Satin Fit mini Skirt by Object Rare
• Exotic Vibrance Satin Maxi Skirt Orange by Hello Molly
Skip These Shades (For Most People)
• Neon orange (can overpower many skin tones)
• Super pale pastel orange (often washes out all but the softest Summer tones)
• Dusty orange with grey undertones (can make warm seasons look dull)
From the Founder
"I used to avoid orange completely—until I used the LookSky app and found out that I was a Bright Spring. Then, I took a chance and wore a cute little orange dress at a recent event and got so many compliments! That’s the magic of knowing your color season. We designed this app to help you discover the shades that make you pop! And, with the help of LookSky's virtual try-on, you’ll see the exact difference the right shade makes on an avatar that has your skin tone—before you even spend a dime." — Samantha Shih, Co-Founder of LookSky
