Butter yellow might be fashion's favourite new neutral, but there's a bolder colour stealing the spotlight this season – and that's tangerine orange.
From the burnt tones at Roberto Cavalli to the bright citrus hues at Etro and the sun-kissed shades at Bottega Veneta, the SS25 catwalks at Milan Fashion Week last September were awash with the statement-making colour. And now our TikTok and Instagram feeds are too.
Though it may seem like an intimidating colour to wear, tangerine orange plays surprisingly well with the rest of your wardrobe; adding warmth to crisp whites, livening up earthy neutrals and popping against blacks.
Take cues from the fashion set and keep the styling relaxed and a little undone for a low-effort take on the trend. Team a tangerine top with some loose white trousers and brown woven flats to tone down the brightness; or elevate the combination of fiery orange trousers and tan fisherman sandals with a white button-down.
If you want to go all in, a maxi dress or playful co-ord is the easy answer – let the colour do the talking but add dimension with gold jewellery and raffia accessories. Or, for a bold, intentional spin on tangerine, play with different tones (lighter or deeper oranges) and textures (silks, linens, cottons or knits) to add depth and interest.
Ahead, you'll find 15 of the best tangerine orange pieces to mix into your summer wardrobe.
