Forget butter yellow – this is the colour all chic Italian women are wearing this summer

If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more 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.

Polly Pocket™ Steps into High Fashion with GCDS in Special Edition Mattel Creations™ Collaboration
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) and Italian fashion line GCDS announced a special collaboration that reconsiders the Polly Pocket brand through a luxury fashion lens for Mattel Creations, Mattel's design-driven platform celebrating the intersection of pop culture, fandom, and play. This partnership introduces a new chapter in the brand's legacy, combining imaginative storytelling with elevated design, all inspired by the heart of Milan. GCDS and Polly Pocket began their story in 2018 with a collection debuting on GCDS' Milan Fashion Week SS19 runway and expanded the partnership with a special edition of the Heart Bag debuting during GCDS' Fall/Winter 2024 runway show, 'Toys for Adults.' The bag's transparent shell opened just like the beloved Polly Pocket compacts of the past, with a charming lineup of miniature Polly Pocket figures inside, ready to add a dose of nostalgia and whimsy to any day. Back again for a playful blend of fashion and nostalgia, Polly Pocket has partnered with GCDS to showcase a highly curated capsule collection and collectible compact that reflects both brands' shared appreciation for creativity, individuality, and cultural expression. Designed by GCDS Creative Director Giuliano Calza, the collection draws deeply from cultural roots, infusing the Polly universe with a distinctly modern Italian perspective. At the center of the collaboration is a compact inspired by classic Polly Pocket playsets and brought to life with details inspired by Italian lifestyle and urban charm. From Milanese street scenes to gelato, the reimagined compact celebrates the power of play in a contemporary design.

Giuliano's vision transforms a beloved icon into something unexpected and delightfully expressive.' 'Redesigning Polly Pocket marks a personal milestone,' said Giuliano Calza, Creative Director, GCDS. 'Ever since I was a kid, the moment I thought of something beautiful, those pastel cases would appear in my mind like a reflex. These tiny toys were magical representations of a bigger world—small enough to hold in your palm, but powerful enough to unlock entire scenarios and fantasies. That feeling shaped me. I've built my creative universe on the idea that 'cute' isn't superficial—it's a bold, emotional language of contemporary culture.' 'With this launch, I didn't just redesign a toy—I encapsulated my world into a new pocketworld,' said Calza. 'And I hope it resonates with the GCDS community and Polly lovers around the globe with the same emotional intensity it holds for me. Because when nostalgia meets design, it becomes desire.'
