Guinwa’s Guide: The Hero Buy is an Orange Heel

orange heels

Bored? We’ve got two words: orange heels. The understated heel cures just about anything from dull outfits to your vitamin levels. Think it’s a bit much? Don’t worry. Seeing Spring/Summer 2020 runways’ obsession with orange, Guinwa happily carried the bright hue into fall. And who’s to say we can’t either?! The tangerine tinted hero formula boosts any mood, elevates your look and oh boy, will up the ante on your Instagram.

Simply put, there’s power in a fresh pair of orange heels. Throw it on with the season’s ultimate must-have – mini knit cardigans – or amp up the cool factor on your socially-distanced dinner outing. You can easily juice the colour on a bag, or a shoe – an effortless solution to take you from day-to-night, refresh your work wardrobe, or just be the coolest girl off-duty (think straight leg denim and a white tee).

The plus side? Barely-there sandals and minimal heels offer the best of transitional dressing – when it’s just right to wear knits with open heels. To amp up your look, opt for vibrant shades of tangerine, marmalade and apricot strictly framed in 90’s square toe, of course. Orange is really the new (not-so-boring) neutral: all you have to do is slip in a literal vitamin booster. For the most daring, bright orange can be worn head-to-toe.

Guinwa’s Tip: Pair tangerine tints with khaki for maximum effect.
