Orange Nail Trend: How Orange Nails Are Warming Up Winter

Orange Nails Are Here To Warm Up Your Winter Wardrobe

Orange is having a moment, and it’s not waiting for summer. Just as accessories can elevate an outfit, nails offer the perfect opportunity to add a playful pop of colour. This winter, the shade once reserved for beach days and sun-soaked holidays is confidently stepping into colder territory. From catwalks to celebrities, fiery orange hues are bringing heat to the chilliest months, spanning everything from bold neons to rich, coppery, shimmer-laden tones.

A longtime leader in nail trends, Kylie Jenner is once again setting the tone. She wore the bold orange shade as a direct reference to Marty Supreme, where orange is a signature colour. Wearing the hue twice in the last month, Jenner most recently stepped out with neon orange nails to match her Chrome Hearts leather ensemble alongside Timothée Chalamet.

The Fall/Winter 25/26 collections signalled that bright orange would be a standout colour in the months ahead, making bold statements on the runway.

Dries Van Noten infused energy into the runway with oversized boxy orange knits and striking monochrome looks.

Saint Laurent’s winter collection made a statement with striking bright orange pieces, amplified by dramatic, 80s-inspired silhouettes and oversized shoulders.

Other notable mentions include Gucci, Giambattista Valli and Miu Miu, all of whom embraced the season’s obsession with orange. The looks here tap into warm orange tones, relaxed shapes and a confidence that makes the colour feel surprisingly effortless.
