If there is one colour that is set to make a splash this season, Tangerine is surely set to do just that!
The SS11 catwalks were filled with fresh citrus colours, but one colour certainly stood out from the other fruits in the bowl, and that was Orange.
Not the easiest of colours to wear I hear you say, and to an extent I would be inclined to agree, especially those of us that live in the colder parts of the globe, when in summer a tan comprises of going from blue to white.
But saying that, I am not saying that we all have to dress up like an oversized citrus fruit instead you can channel the colour in perhaps a less “out there” approach.
Jonathan Saunders rocked the citrus colour palette this season, with orange lacing its way through most of the collection, whether it be a vibrant stripe or instead a full on top to toe ensemble.
Other designers also rocking the tangerine vibe included PPQ, Richard Nichol, Marni, Julian McDonald, Fendi, Paul and Jo and Vivienne Westwood.
Not only a hot trend on the catwalks, Orange and its other citrus friends are hot new colours on the beauty front too.
Yes Ladies its time to throw out your nude lipsticks and add some va va voom to your face in the shape of bright orange lips!!
Even less forgiving that orange clothing, orange lipstick must ONLY be work with tan I say, or for those of you with olive and dark skin (I hate you!!) you can wear it to your hearts content!!
I personally love NARS shade “Morange” , it’s a more reddy orange, and easier to wear, if like me, you complexion resembles Mortitia Adams after 3 months of winter.
And for those wanting to live life on the edge, I recommend MAC “ Morange” for that full on orange glow.
I have a feeling that this summers key trends are not going to be for the more conservative amongst us, its bright and vibrant colours all the way!
So don’t be shy, its time to embrace this seasons fresh and punchy new colours.
Don’t be a wall flower…be a citrus fruit instead??!!!
