Tangerine Tango

Think juicy oranges, marigolds and the summer sun because we just cannot seem to get enough of the corals and oranges that are doing the rounds this summer. Whether its entire ensembles or small measures like blouses, shirts and accents of tangerine, we think every wardrobe needs to explore the possibilties with this gorgeous colour. Here's a quick guide on wearing the colour:
Tangerine in contrast:
If wearing an orange ensemble is not your thing then contrast with other colours and colour-block. Try colours like turquoise, rich purple, royal blue, emerald green and red that make beautiful contrasts to tangerine.

Tangerine in small doses: Try peek-a-boo with tangerine colours like light jackets, tunics, shirts and blouses or simply in shoes, bags and bib necklaces. You can pair a cool cotton tunic with coloured pants for a high fashion look.

Tangerine ensembles:
Jumpsuits in orange or short summer dresses and playsuits are a good summer accompaniment. If you wear a tangerine ensemble, make sure you offset it with either nude or contrast colour accessories.

Adding colour

Who doesn’t like an all-black outfit for the night-outs or a pure white ensemble for the sunny days? Here are some easy ways to add colour to a monochrome outfit

 

Dressing head-to-toe in a single color, tone or pattern can be both difficult and fun. From electric colors to neutral tones, layering in monochrome will guarantee you absolute throughout the year.

Follow these tips for those pops of colour: 

• The most instant way to add colour to your ensemble is by using your accessories. Your accessories are versatile and can be worn in multiple ways without seeming too repetitive.Revive your tunic and jeans combination with a bright scarf.

• Use your colourful links or bead necklaces for a splash of colour. Adding jewellery to your ensemble is also a good to layer in humid climates.
• If your wardrobe has a lot of plain colours, then invest in a few bright-coloured shoes. They are a good way of adding colour without overpowering your outfit.
• Bags and clutches are the ideal way to add colour. Wear a neon green clutch with a plain black dress or a bright pink tote to a grey t-shirt and jeans combination. 
• Add a sheer or lace shrug in the same tone, this will take away from the monotony and create a dimension to your outfit.

•  While jewellery, shoes and bags are a great way of adding colour, don’t forget to your sunglasses for the same purpose. Whether it’s Zeenat Amaan’s rose-tinted sunnies in the 80s or Carrie Bradshaw’s bright gold glares in Sex and the City, your sunglasses add instantaneous lift your ensemble.
  
  

The colour palette:

Browns, nudes and camels: These are neutral colours and blend in easily with almost all shades. Try beige with purples, camel shades with blues or browns with greens play with these colours with almost any shade.

Greys and taupes: Greys look great with salmon pinks and try to blend darker grey shades with maroons or even reds. The distinct contrast will completely lift your outfit.

Blacks: While adding colour to the classic black ensemble is a tricky choice. Opt to mix corals or burnt orange shades with all-black outfits. Avoid the typical choices like red and pink, try electric blue pops instead.

The Colour Splash for Spring

Spotted fashion blogger Jasleen Kaur Gupta out for a shopping trip in down town. Since summer is here, she wore a bright splash of neon colours. For a comfortable day out she opted to pair her B:Kind tunic with sweatpants. Wedge heels completed the look. A gold link necklace worn under the collar highlighted the tunic. Jasleen carried a contrast sequinned scarf to protect herself from the slight nip in the air and also add more fun to the outfit. A classic quilted handbag was the perfect accompaniment.

- For an evening out you can tuck in your tunic into high waist pants with high heels.
- For a day event, your tunic paired with Pakistani pants or lace leggings is also a good combination.
- For the night, pair a big statement necklace with your tunic and wear nude pumps.

Fashion Week Hangover

We came away from the Delhi and Bombay Fashion Weeks with one important lesson under the belt - that this summer is surely about colour but it's also about prints and more prints. Think tribal, Navajo, Native Indian, African influences this season. Stay away from animal prints though. Colour splashes, bursts and splotches very Holi-inspired are also in vogue.

How to wear these bright colours?
- Neon accessories are your best friends this season
- Threadwork bags, jewellery and even wedges are very in this season
- Pretzel like braided updos are also very fashionable with these prints
- Tassle neckpieces are also great accompaniments
- Harem pants and dhoti pants are the sure way to up the fashion quotient
