Color is very important in the
fashion industry. It serves as both a design and aesthetic quality in a
garment. Like the seasons, colors change, and designers make adjustments in
their lines to fit the current color trends. The color trends are forecasted by
specialists and then handed down to designers, usually about a year in advance.
The main company that is responsible for color forecasting is Pantone. For
every season, Pantone creates a color forecasting report, which is used by
designers as color guidelines for their collections.
Pantone creates a fashion color
report for every season, and it usually consists of about 10 colors. Among the
colors that are listed for the Spring 2012 report, the most popular one by far
is Tangerine Tango.
This color is a mixture of orange and coral, with a high
intensity. This is a great color because it is not only very wearable in
spring, but it is also perfect for summer. Adding a few pieces of Tangerine
Tango to your wardrobe is a great way to brighten up your closet.
Tangerine Tango has been a major
success among many designer collections for Spring 2012. Fortunately for us
barganistas, fast-fashion retailers such as Zara, H&M and Forever 21, have
also created garments utilizing the same color trends, but with a more affordable
price tag! I have found some great pieces that are readily available.Check out some of them below:
