Since it’s my favorite holiday, I simply couldn’t pass up the chance to make this month’s Color Combo post Halloween-themed. Not only are black and orange the official colors of October 31st, but the pairing of a classic neutral with a bold hue creates a chic look that packs a punch.

Outfit #1: Comfy & Laid-Back

For this first outfit, let’s start with the basics: pair an orange knitted sweater with black printed jeans for a comfortable and stylish color-blocked look. Simple black ballet flats continue the casual vibe, while a gold spiked necklace adds some edge. Grab a roomy printed messenger bag and you’ll have a low-key outfit that you can rock on campus.

Outfit #2: Dressy & On-Trend

Now we’re going to flip the colors in the last look by pairing a classic black button-up with a light orange A-line skirt. Heeled oxfords give this look a fashion-forward touch, while a tapestry bag adds pattern and texture. Next, add some statement jewelry like these stacked rings and geometric earrings. Slip a sweet and simple headband into your hair for an on-trend and feminine fall outfit.
