Tangerine Tango

Pantone, provider of professional color standards for the design industries, announced Tangerine Tango as the color of 2012.

“Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.

You may have seen Quincy Apparel’s article about how to incorporate Tangerine Tango in your wardrobe. The Closet Coach has some easy, breezy pictures too. But, of course, we’ll cover those articles of clothing that they did not…

What to wear under there

On top: check out Panache’s Cleo Jude Underwire T-Shirt Bra in orange/berry. This bra is designed especially for full busted women. Its demi cups are made of seamless, stretch microfiber. Foam lining in the cups prevents show-through. Watch out, USA girls. This bra has U.K. cup sizes. Be sure to see the size chart for U.S. conversion.

On bottom: Cosabella’s Never Say Never Cutie Low Rise Thong comes in flame orange. This is a great every day, no-show panty. Once you try it, you’ll want every color!

To support your team: the trusted name in stretch pace, Hanky Panky, now offers thongs, camis, and a few other lingerie items in select collegiate colors with official logos in pretty, tiny rhinestones. The University of Florida lace thong is a bright blue and orange combo, and I threw it in because I live in sunny Florida – where half the population wears blue and orange with pride. The other half wears garnet and gold, which is more appropriate for a Valentine’s Day article, but Hanky Panky makes that too! You can see if your alma mater made the list by checking here.

Lounging about: the Josie By Natori Mya Day Bra has 2-part, wireless but seamed cups that feature thin padding in the bottom of the cups, and are free of lining and support panels. Scalloped lace edges create a triangle shape, and the back band is not lace, but soft microfiber. This is the RED HOT/ DUSTY ROSE combo, and the MIDNIGHT BLUE/ WATERMELON is gorgeous too!

For under the covers: Josie By Natori also has an Electro 33″ chemise in the RED HOT/ DUSTY ROSE combo. This flirty nightie has a slinky jersey bottom and cross dyed lace cups.

For Him

Check out the Undie award winner Diesel Fresh and Bright Breddox Trunk in fluorescent orange! If that doesn’t make someone stop and stare, nothing will!
