lilyann · Dooney & Bourke

colors that dont work on you

Elle · Hermes

Pink, bright/sky blue, certain tans/beiges

atlgirl · Gucci

Yellow. Pale gray. Most pastels (except for mint green and pale blue - but it has to be the right blue). White - though I wear it anyway. Navy. Tan.

I have pale skin and dark hair, so anything that brightens me up instead of washing me out is welcome. I love jewel tones, nearly all shades of green, and bright, bold colors. Muted/muddy colors don't work for me at all.

gruiz · Kenneth Cole

Off-white, yellow, light pink.

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I have never worn yellow or orange.

Claudia · Gucci

hmm, I think pretty much anything goes with my skin, but when it comes to shoes I find that white and a certain shade of pink doesn't look right.

luckylily · Gucci

Cream, khaki, beige...I can wear them as neutral bottoms, but I need color near my face.

Maddie · Coach

Olive, rust, most yellows, red, pink (I can do peach).

Seashells · Dooney & Bourke

I can't do:

Lavender, Tan (which I am wearing today-oh well), Light Pinks, Bright Oranges, Gray

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

Any shade of gray, light blue, and pale pink...blech!

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Most yellows, some pale yellows look right, especially if I have a little tan. Also, orange

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

I have never owned, worn or even tried on a piece of orange clothing. I think it is a truley hideous color!

That said.. I think I can probably wear anything with my skin.. but I choose not to wear:

bright red, bright yellow, grey, or bright white.. and orange of course.

oliviacw · BCBG

Bright yellows and greens, fuschia and hot pink. Pure white is also not the best on me.

needsfashionadvice · Kate Spade

most every pastel looks awful on me, except for baby blue. Orange, yellow and brown look bad. Most bright jewel tones look good on me. Anything color that looks muted looks like crap.

bluediamond · Dooney & Bourke

nudes/beiges, browns, peach, tangerine,

halleybird · Hermes

All pastels, except some shades of yellow -- I look totally washed out.. I also look terrible in most shades of brown and certain olivey greens, which make my complexion look muddy.

Ally S · Kate Spade

Yellow, bright orange and while I am told it looks ok on me...I don't like how I look in most shades green

Sandy · Kate Spade

Light gray, beige, olive green, and most yellows look awful on me. Pretty much everything else goes, but I tend to stay away from all shades of red and bright, construction orange.

avery · Nine West

For sure yellow and orange... sometimes certain cream and beige colored tops wash me out.

Hedvig · Coach

Yellow (except warm mustard yellow), lavender, peach, fuchsia, pale beige - they all make me look pallid and sickly.
