BRILLANTES BOMBAS DE BALLET: EL NARANJA ES EL NUEVO NEGRO
Tangerine dreams are soon to be a reality, if this season’s catwalks are anything to go by. While the snow may be yet to thaw outside, we’re looking to warmer times and sandals in sunset tones for a hit of SS16’s favourite hue.

DAKS SS16, British Fashion Council
Look to London and New York’s SS16 catwalks and you’ll find citrus shades brightening up your monochrome staples, from your head to your bright ballet pumps. Returning to London’s line-up for SS16, Dame Zandra Rhodes kicks off the orange appreciation with embellished caps and cool kaftans in statement prints and zingy shades. Paul Smith also peps up your tailoring with tangerine linings, tie belts and a wrap coat that would be the standout piece of any summer wardrobe. Never afraid to experiment with colour, Scottish designers Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders are also pushing their pantones with clashing brights across outerwear and cami dresses this season.

Joining tangerine on the catwalks of New York Fashion Week are also shades of cinnamon, mandarin and apricot. While using orange is nothing new for designer Tory Burch, she’s experimenting with fabrications this season, trimming her silk dresses with tangerine guipure lace. Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria Beckham and Jeremy Scott are all getting us in the holiday mood too, with colourful crochet and sophisticated separates in clashing suedes and Hawaiian orange prints.

Orange jumpsuits have shrugged off their negative associations to become an easy way to do all-the-way orange this season, alongside the catwalk’s favourite slip dress. If head-to-toe tangerine is too much of a commitment though, get your zest for SS16’s power colour with this season’s new shapes. If you were one of those who dared to flare last season, you’ll love the new kick-flare silhouette, which is easier to wear than its predecessor. Refresh your tailored separates in a pair of burnt orange culottes, or join the flat-shoe fans in a pair of statement tangerine trainers a la Christopher Kane. Zandra Rhodes proved this is a colour that can be worn from your lips to your tips too, so start with a slick of statement lip stick for a hit of instant orange attitude.
