Some of this new fall season’s colors are not very flattering on my skin tone,

[ Edited ]

I have neutral medium skin tone with a touch of an olive cast to it. I look good in turquoise and aqua but Jade makes me look sallow. I look good in Apple Red but the Copper Brown and Raisin Brown look dreadful on me. I'm not sure how the Winterberry would look. I had a bathing suit that color and I never really felt like it looked like a good color for me. Hot pinks and purples do look good on me but this shade seems better suited for those with no olive tones in their skin.

Turquiose if more of a summer color. I wouldn't think you'd see that much in fall/winter.

@rms1954    In my wardrobe, Turquoise is 365 days a year.  There isn't much of it around this year.

@MalteseMomma I'm a color rebel! Maybe it's because I spent my first 62 years in Southern Cal. but I wear any color, any time of the year I want! I have light colored clothes I wear in the winter.

 

I don't feel colors are restricted to any one season. But that's just me!

@Mindy D I have a cool medium tone with a touch of olive...how can I have a touch of olive with a cool tone?  I don't know but that's what it is.  I find that I look best in jewel tones, black & navy but many muted shades look dreadful on me. 

 

The new raisin brown also looks awful on me.  It can be frustrating sometimes finding the shades that work for me.

I don't look good in any colors with yellow undertones - olive, gold, orange, brown, beige, etc.  Fall colors except burgundy or teal and the cooler colors are terrible on me.  Why do they bring clothes out in colors to match seasons rather than taking skin tones into consideration?  I've noticed that designers tend to bring their things in colors that look good on them rather than considering their customers.

I love pastel/blush tints of pink in the Winter.  Mostly lightweight mock neck pullover sweaters.  Worn with grey bottoms, even worn with black pants/jeans, for a retro look.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
