There are all sorts of things that determine what women‘s clothing works and what doesn’t: body-shape, personality and even complexion. In fact, your skin tone has a huge impact on how you look in certain styles.
Many women are very pale skinned. When you’re at one of the extreme ends of skin tone, i.e. very dark or very light skinned, dressing to your best can feel like a bit of a challenge. Here are some tips:
Be wary of stark contrasts. Dark and heavy colors can contrast with pale skin to create a washed out look; however, this doesn’t mean that darker colors are a complete no go, rather you can alter your pale skin tone with make-up. Pale skin quite is a broad church, and there are different kinds of pale skin-tone. Many blondes have pale skin but it has a yellower more summery tone. Other kinds of pale skin will have a more wintry tone, often paired with red or black hair.
The best way to determine what kind of pale skin you have and what colors work best on you is to experiment; generally speaking winter pale girls will look great in clothes that have, for example, blue undertones. Summer pale girls might look great in muted grey or red colors.It’s not all about skin tone however; when shopping for women’s fashion clothing think about other factors, not least hair and eye co lour.
