Back in August 2017 we reported that lots of men were wearing a particularly violent shade of orange. Perhaps it’s something about summer, but it’s happened again, from Charizard-coloured sneakers to shorts that are the exact shade of Mr Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange album. You can blame Mr Heron Preston for the enduring appeal of orange in the streetwear world (it’s the designer’s signature colour), but it’s also taken hold across everything from tailoring to casualwear. Bright orange is a rather bold shade to just throw on with abandon, however, so we’ve pulled together a few photographs of some men we thought wore it particularly well and have distilled some style advice on how you can emulate their looks below.

If orange already sounds appealing and you’ve found yourself humming “she’s working at the pyramid tonight” to yourself after reading the above, then let’s dive straight in. An aggressively orange shirt is probably the boldest way to follow this trend, but it’s also one of the easiest ones to style. Make like this guy and wear one with a string vest if you’re feeling particularly summery, but a plain white T-shirt will work just as well. Note how the trousers are markedly neutral to temper the blaze of the shirt.

You can tell that the man above thought about this outfit before he put it on, but the clothes are casual enough that it doesn’t look too curated. A bright pair of orange shorts is a good way to bring some brightness into any summer outfit, and you can coordinate with a white tee or sweater that has orange detailing, such as this one, or, to keep things clean and preppy, some orange striped sports socks.

Orange isn’t just for summer. Or at least, not just for hot summers (ahem, hello from London). This gent’s orange and red gilet from A-Cold-Wall* brings some jollity to a cool-weather outfit, and with the addition of a neutral sweater underneath, again with a spot of orange co-ordination, it’s a cosily stylish look that will take you through the rest of the year in a colour that we predict will be sticking around for a while.
