Emma Newman Tells Us How to Wear Orange!
As all fashion savvy girlies know, we sometimes have to adapt catwalk trends to suit our lifestyles and body shapes. I personally have run scared from the jumpsuit trend that has dominated the catwalks over the last few seasons- I’m not a 6ft Amazonian!

Treggings
But this week I decided to be brave and try out something new- treggings in Dorothy Perkins (leggings/ trouser hybrid. Can be found in denim- eeek!). I felt they possibly wouldn’t be so forgiving on a mum of one, and I was haunted with visions of muffin tops and chunky thighs. I am happy to report, however, that I shouldn’t have been such a Nervous Nelly. Teamed with a slightly loose fitting tee and some lovely heels they happen to look fab. The moral of this tale is to be brave as you never know what new wardrobe treasure you might find. I might even be convinced by skinny jeans yet!
Can you wear Orange?
As you can imagine, I talk A LOT about fashion with my friends, and the subject of how to wear colour is frequently raised. Orange has been big news on the catwalks for A/W 09, a colour which seems to fill people with dread. I feel there are many ways to wear this colour, and think it is much more forgiving than Red, for example. Dismiss all notions of being the Tango woman, this can work for everyone- even redheads!
The shade you choose is the determining factor.
A redhead should probably go for a burnt orange shade (Benetton do a fabulous double breasted coat for £105- perfect for taking you into Winter). 
Perfect Orange Fashion for 2009
I personally feel the best way to use this colour is to use it as a detail to lift an outfit- there are lots of orange accessories around. I sell an orange pashmina in my collection, it’s a great way to add an affordable and on-trend ‘pop’ of colour. New Look also sell a fabulous puffball style skirt with contrasting black bow (bows are still very fashionable this season, thank goodness!), which will be great for a girls night out.

Can’t really see myself in those treggings. Pashmina is lush though.
