Raise your hand if you have heard of something called “Tangerine Tango“. Maybe these two little words will not say anything to someone, after all it is just a shade of color … yes, you understand perfectly well, it is the color that we very trivially define orange. But Tangerine Tango isn’t just a color… it’s color. Surely looking around, you have come across this color thousands of times lately but, perhaps, you still did not know that this strange shade of orange is the color of the year, the top shade of summer 2012. Warm, sophisticated, seductive and energetic. that almost borders on red, halfway between mandarin and coral: a refined, almost spiritual and very 70s choice.
This color is rampant not only in clothing, Tangerine infects everything: bags, accessories, shoes, makeup and nail polishes, ending up in the design and furniture sector. Summer 2012 fashion is colored with orange, bringing energy and vitality.
So how to wear this color?
Tangerine Tango is a very lively color, full of energy and is extremely easy to combine. First of all, it is strictly forbidden to dress entirely in orange, it is true that it is the color of the year but this does not mean that we must only wear this shade. Let’s start with small items, such as shorts or skirts. They are accessible to all garments that don’t cost much and even if Tangerine were to go out of fashion, we could certainly reuse it because orange in summer is still an ever–current color.
If, on the other hand, you are not into such bright colors, you can opt for accessories. For example, we mix orange with a touch of white, or we break up an entirely black outfit with an orange accessory, such as a bag, a pair of sandals or a scarf.
If you are wondering where to find all these orange things, the answer is: EVERYWHERE. Just browse through the low cost shops where you will find dresses and accessories in abundance. So go ahead to shops such as: H&M, Zuiki, Zara, Terranova, Bershka, Mango, Motivi and many many others.
Things not to be underestimated and not to be forgotten are the bijoux: they are fundamental and of vital importance. You can enrich a simple outfit with a long necklace with orange stones, or a maxi ring of the same color, or even sophisticated earrings or simple bangles. Also in this case you will find all this everywhere: just enter simple bijoux shops such as Accessorize or Bijoux Brigitte, but do not disdain the markets, there you can find real glamorous accessories.
But surely you are wondering what colors Tangerine Tango goes with: since it is fashionable, it goes with practically everything, but surely the colors with which it mixes best are black, white, purple, electric blue and fuchsia.
Finally, let’s talk about make–up: my advice is to focus essentially on nail polishes and lipsticks. Worn on the hands and lips it will give you that extra elegant–chic touch that we are all looking for
Whether you choose to wear it, spread it on your nails or use it to light up your lips, whether you want to paint a wall in your home, color the sofa cushions or paint some ornaments, the passion effect is guaranteed.
