The fashion trends for this spring have presented a myriad of options from shorts, suits, ladylike dresses to pencil skirts, futuristic prints, all the way to pastel shades and separates. If you find it difficult to navigate the waters of the newest and hottest trends, let me suggest my orange crush: One of the most wearable trends for the upcoming season is Pantone Institute’s color of the year, Tangerine Tango! The prediction for the year was spot-on as this enticing citrus color was splashed all over designer runways. I’m loving the depth of the tangerine, but if it’s maybe too bright for you, don’t worry — there are plenty of orange hues to choose from.

Orange is also a great color to wear because of the high energy associated with this color; orange combines the passionate energy of red with the friendliness of yellow. It typically represents happiness, creativity, attraction and success. It literally turns up the heat to the human eye and gives off the sensation of heat … this season’s haute color really is HOT! Try this high-octane orange and you’ll be sure to catch attention with this new seductive color.

If you are unsure of incorporating the orange as an entire look, try out a fun bracelet or P.O.C. (pop of color) handbag! Style yourself so that you feel glam and fabulous! Keeping up with the current fashion trends is a simple way to feel socially immersed and looking great for this spring! Don the orange and you’ll be sporting the best of spring 2012’s trends.
