Trend Report: Tangerine Tango

Tangerine is the number one "it-color" of 2012. Tangerine is super bright and cheerful for the spring and summer months. It's time to throw away your winter grey's and black's and get ready for spring!

The specific color of tangerine is called "tangerine tango". It is Pantone color 17-1463.









There are two (or maybe three) ways to wear tangerine.
1. Focal Point- wear tangerine as the main piece of your outfit, you'll be sure to draw some eyes. However, the look may be too bold for some people
2. Pop of Color- wear tangerine just in an accessory to be on trend, but not overly bold
3. Color Blocking- this is kind-of in between the other two: it is a pop of color, but is also going to be a main point of your outfit. Check out our post on color blocking here.

Outfit Inspiration:
Focal Point-

This outfit is great for the warmer days in spring. That tangerine dress is so adorable! Wearing it with neutral accessories makes the tangerine really pop. If you aren't a dress girl, just wear a tangerine top or bottom.

Pop of Color (Bag):

The black dress and boots make the super bright purse really stand out. Like in the previous outfit, colors like Pantone's color Starfish look great when paired with tangerine.

Pop of Color (Shoes):

Simple black and white give all of the attention to the adorable heels. This outfit would be really easy to recreate: all you need is a black pencil skirt, white (or off-white, depending on your skin tone) shirt, hoop earrings, and the orange heels (which you would probably not already have).

Color Blocking:

The orange dress and blue bag clash horribly, but in a good way! Even the white flats are sort of in the color blocking theme of the outfit. The dress is doubly trendy because it has a drop waist which is a trend for this spring. The neutral fedora keeps the outfit from being too bright, while still being cute.
