Trendstop Color Trends: Neon Lemon & Tangerine Coral

April 13, 2011, [London] - Neon Lemon - as featured on Trendstop.com iPad

London tones the bright Cadmium Yellow of the season into a sharp citric neon with a tangy bite.

Neon Lemon is applied to silhouettes that are as fresh, quirky and upbeat as the shade itself. It is used to update classic old lady vintage style twinsets and skirts, and applied to double-layered sleeveless chiffon tailored jackets for looks that are surreal yet completely wearable.

Bold lines cut through and across silhouettes, mirroring the acidic bite of Lemon Sour. Large laser cuts create webby fishnet holes, split yokes, arm holes, bodices and hemlines in chevrons and cobweb patterns, while bright neon highlighter bands bring floral or oriental silk satin prints to the 21st Century.

Tangerine Coral takes inspiration from the heady appeal of summer sunsets with an Indian slant. The vibrant sub-tropical shade is applied onto uncomplicated modern shapes for a grown-up appeal. Add color-based impact to the minimalist revival through clean, fluid dresses and separates, as well as unlined envelope clutches and other understated accessories.

Combining Tangerine Coral with vintage chiffon or lace overlays and demure feminine detailing results in youthfully elegant summer party dresses. Spots of futuristic neon orange or surgical white highlights keep the look fresh.

Contrast Tangerine Coral with white and taupe block stripes for a fresh sporty look, but use girlish skater skirt and cropped blouse silhouettes to add interest.
