The Colors of 2012

For every fashion designer or a simple fashionistas we always have that eye to check on the colors that are in for every coming year. And for this year of the dragon we have on top of the list which is "Tangerine Tango"
This color is a radiant red-orange. We no longer want more gray and dark hues but instead we want to play
around with colors. The colors presented now shows energy and boldness that is why Tangerine Tango was picked as the top color for 2012. But how does one decide of which color to use? Thus for each color every year it is taken in consideration that the colors reflect the emotional state and pulse of the year to come. Experts look for colors that influence the industry, forecasting a trend. This colors are picked by fashion, film, technology, art, popular travel destination and socio-economic conditions. As mentioned by Leatrice Eiseman the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute that "There's the element of encouragement with orange, its building on the ideas of courage and action, that we want to move on to better things. I think it would be a disservice to go with a relaxed, soothing color now. Tommy Hilfiger as well uses for his spring collection the color tangerine coupled with red though the color was complemented with navy and brown. Hilfiger sees men wearing an orange color in a striped or paisley tie. For women the color for their purse or trench coat. We may see orangey lips, nails and eye shadows and will still be a trend till next year.

The color is quite vulgar, has a strong essence but is still having flattering shades. It is very versatile and real life wearable colors to try. 

Pops of Purple  

The pops of purple color with its under tones like violets, lavenders, and mauves which will bring the warmth of your skin tone and the color of your eye. Thus, for women will project a girly vibe and slimming illusion.


                             Minty Green


The mint green color will cast you like your in a dreamy state. The color is bright, light and is great on sheer, flowy fabrics. Also the likes of long sheer maxi skirts and buttoned-up blouses. A Grecian dress style is suggested to be worn on a favorite sea foam green color.

                                              Metallics

Metallics is also a great color and just a little shine will go a long way but not to touch of silver and gold. A sparkly silver can be used but just be mindful that it's slim and cinched to accentuate your waist. If you want to play around with proportions you can opt for gold laser-cut shorts and over sized sweater.


                                                                                                Whiteout

White still is a stand out yet you have to be careful as this will also wash you out. Don pretty whites in ultra feminine shapes and with stunning details à la sheer of white layers, white satin peplum, and white eyelet dresses.

                                  Pastel Pinks and Corals

If you're that girlie girl type then you can play around with pastel pinks and corals. Yet tailored designs are the ones that go along with warmer hues---from boxy pink mini dresses to peach blazers, your form is what should matter that be at lost in the color fold.
