If it's Kumbh Mela time, it's orange clothing time!

The historic Kumbh Mela is now ongoing in India and so my taste turns naturally to orange, be it Pantone’s Dusty Orange or saffron, or even a darker coral tone.

So I looked at what designers showed for Spring Summer 2019 and here are a few colorful options to get into the spiritual mood. You know, wear me some saffron robes of my own. Or not.

ACNE STUDIO

This one is for the men of course, but what a stunning suit. I love ACNE STUDIO.

VERSACE

No one does sexy like Donatella, so here’s a dress for a sultry summer night out.

FENDI

Paired with turquoise, orange takes on a very ethnic feel. And the coat is simply. WOW.

HERMES

Simple, chic, a bit older in feel, this is what the chic society ladies will be wearing to the museum or out for an afternoon tea.

POIRET

This is probably orange at its most courageous. A whole lot of it, in all different tones. I love it. It’s sexy but understated and probably my personal favorite.
