People sometimes shy away from bright colors for their basics - pants, skirts, or jackets - thinking that these are most probably practical in black or grey or brown. However, I find that a bright color helps make an outfit and can work well with other colors. No need to limit yourself!
And here is an example. I made this circle skirt several years ago and it still feels like new. It is bright orange! And it goes with everything. The circle shape is classy and is a wonderful cut if you enjoy fabric moving as you walk. I like it for its volume and for how it accentuates the waist.
I added a 'belt' by gathering a slim piece of fabric - it looks like flower petals. Helps with styling as I don't need to add an actual belt and can certainly go without jewelry. The waist treatment is a jewel of its own!

But back to the importance of color ... You can see that I combined it with a grey t-shirt and a scarf of many colors. The scarf's light green complements the bright color of the skirt - it enhances it rather than competes with it. I also like to wear this skirt with a black-and-white striped sailor shirt. Or, a top in another bright color - pink or red - to really make a statement.
