TANGO INTO SPRING
How to wear the official colour of spring 2012
As announced last fall, Tangerine Tango is the Pantone colour of spring 2012. And the reddish orange hue, which is popping up in all kinds of sartorial pieces, is more vivid, more vibrant and more fun than last year’s shade —Honeysuckle, a pale, pinkish red hue. As we transition from a gloomy winter, Tangerine Tango’s overwhelming, yet seductive brightness will ensure that you get noticed, no matter how you wear it.
