The two colours
What rust and white each bring
rust
A warm, burnt orange-brown, like terracotta. Earthy and autumnal, it's the wearable version of orange.
Works best as: Knits, shirts, skirts and trousers.
white
Crisp, clean and bright. It lifts darker pieces and reads fresh in summer; in winter it looks most intentional as a knit or a coat.
Works best as: Shirts, tees and sneakers near every outfit; white trousers are a stronger summer statement.
