What color clothing look good on fair skin women?
Finding the right colours that look good on you are dependent on your "season" (Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn) If you are fair skinned and have a combination of naturally blonde or light to medium brown hair with blue, green or hazel eyes (usually people of European descent), then you are most likely Spring or Autumn. Colours that will look good on you are grey, yellow, pastel colours (baby blue, pink, lilac, etc) and also bright colours. Stay away from darker colours like navy, burgundy and purple; darker tones will appear too harsh against your fair skin. If you are fair skinned and have a combination of dark brown hair or black hair with brown eyes (usually people of Asian descent), then you are a Winter. Darker colours and jewel-tone colours look best on you, because they are complimented by the darkness of your hair and eye colour. Try colours like emerald, ruby, olive, royal blue, etc.
