The Boldest and Orangest for SS22

The Boldest and Orangest for SS22

Going to Auburn this semester makes me feel like quite a lucky student! Hopping right into Spring 2022, trend forecasters are predicting we keep an eye out for the color orange. To most, orange represents warmth and joy. It is often associated with sunshine, happiness, and enthusiasm. For myself, and likely  many of you, orange makes us think of Auburn University. With orange coming in hot as the hue of spring, Here are some fun pieces to add to your wardrobe to embrace this vibrant season of fashion. Many of these pieces can also be translated into Fall 2022 as parts of your game day look here in Auburn, or just act as stand out additions to  your wardrobe for years to come!

Heeled sandals are perfect for the spring because they are versatile, comfortable, and cool! These heels can be worn for a fun night out or a shopping weekend. Since they’re plastic they are perfect for outdoor situations; they’re safe to get dirty or wet! Not to mention, the bright orange shade of these sandals will bring out sun-kissed skin and help you embrace the shade of the season.

Orange may not be your typical go-to color, but this spring it's this colors time to shine! Wearing a warm color like orange can help to bring out your brightest features and makes you stand out in a crowd. I am excited to see people sporting the color, not only because orange is so fun and uncommon, but because it fits right in on our campus here at Auburn. I think seeing people wearing orange around campus not only helps us to get into the mood of the spring season but also displays our school spirit! So go out and find some orange garments that speak to you!
