This method will play to your soft features rather than overshadow your entire look.
Women that have a darker complexion on the other hand should opt for more striking choices of accessories to style with their orange dresses. Rich-coloured accessories like bold gemstones and black onyx, deep greens, blues, and red are all excellent accessory choices. Gold is the ultimate accessory to pair with an orange dress for a woman with an olive, tanned or dark complexion; the boldness of the gold colour and the depth of the orange dress will only intensify the overall style, making this combination a match made in heaven!
Accessories adorned with diamonds, pearls, rose gold, and gemstones will pair well with any version of the orange dress, irrespective of one's complexion type. These versatile accessory choices can be used to upstyle an orange dress for a wedding, or to achieve a more relaxed summer look.

Accessories For Different Styles Of Orange Dresses
How to accessorise an orange dress should be determined by the style of the dress and the cut of the neckline. It's not so much the fabric of the orange dress, but rather the style and shape that will establish the right accessories.
Orange Dress | Square-Neck, Scoop Neck, or V-Neck
Accessorising an orange dress with a square neck, scoop neck or V-neck is extremely versatile and should include a necklace, or two with some length. The key to styling this style of orange dress is by adding dimension to your accessories. Think ropes of pearls or necklaces with angular pendants attached; both options provide enough length to compliment the square, scoop, or V-shaped cut of your orange dress.
As a guide, try to choose an accessory that falls below the line of the cut and get creative with layering your accessories. Try layering 3 different necklaces with varying lengths as this will add depth to the orange dress. Choosing a pearl necklace that can be doubled or tripled around your neck is a clever choice.
