Anyone! Honestly, I do think a rusty orange dress can work on most people’s skin tones. Unless you have a really cool undertone in your skin, then it might not work.

I chose to wear some bold gold earrings to add since visual interest since I wore my hair up. The earrings also draw the eye to my face so you’re more likely to notice the top of the dress. I opted to wear my hair up to show off the details of the dress. The off-shoulder and rouched detail at the bust are definitely the most interesting part of the dress, so I didn’t want my hair to cover it. I chose to finish the look with a simple satin clutch to keep the dress the center of attention.
