Tangerine Tango, a “spirited reddish orange,” was named 2012 Color of The Year by color expert Pantone, and has befittingly become the new color in vogue. A multitude of designers incorporated the bright hue into their Spring/Summer collections and many celebrities have been spotted wearing the vibrant tone. Cosmetics company Sephora has even teamed up with Pantone to create a limited-edition make-up, accessories, and nail polish line based on the vivacious color.

The brilliant pigment may seem daunting at first, but is really quite simple to integrate into your beauty regime, wardrobe, or household because of its versatility — there is a shade for everyone! If you’re feeling bold, try a statement tangerine blazer. Too much for you? Put on a pair of bright orange pumps or clementine colored lipstick. Adding a little orange to your outfit is an easy way to brighten your mood and your day.
I love the energy associated with tangerine! I’m definitely going to be sporting orange accessories this summer. Want to design your own Tangerine Tango looks? Head over to the Open Runway Design Studio to start creating your own custom shoes and handbags! Tweet @OpenRunway your designs.
